19 Weeks! and HER name :)

This post is almost a week late, but I know that some people are ready to see the picture! I am definitely starting to feel Claira-lynn move a whole lot more now. I absolutely love feeling her move inside of me. Not only does it let me know she is in there, but it is just an amazing feeling. I have started getting some energy back, which is helpful. I feel close to normal, minus the belly and the constant bathroom trips. :/

Now, many people have asked how we came up with the name Claira-lynn, so here is your explanation. Carey really wanted to keep the hyphenated name with our daughter because he likes my name. Our son will be named after family, so we wanted our daughter to have the same privelage. I was named after my grandparents for my first name and my middle.

Bobbi-sue Grey = Bob + Sue (my mother's parents) Grey (my dad's mom's middle name)

Claira-lynn Grey = Claire + Lynn (both our mother's middle names) Grey (mine and Grandma's middle name)

We love the name and love that we can honor our mothers by giving a piece of their name to our daughter. Many people have many different opinions about the name and that is fine, just please be respectful. :)

THE Doctor's Appointment

Well, by this point most people know what we are having, but Carey edited the video that we took that day and I know our mother's are anxious to see it! :) So here it is! The pictures before it are some of the pictures that didn't make it into the video. ;) Enjoy!

17 weeks Today!

Well, today I am 17 weeks pregnant! Only approximately 161 days to go! I am starting to feel like myself again, just bigger. :/ My belly is definitely growing, which is a good thing, just can be frustrating. We are now only 10 days from hopefully finding out what our sweet little Bean is. :) I am getting super excited and it cannot get here fast enough! Well, that's all I really have to say today! Here are your pictures! :)

Comparison! You can definitely tell my belly is growing! Trying to keep the weight gain only to the belly though!

New Furniture!

Wow! God has definitely blessed us through so many other people during this pregnancy. So far we have had a healthy baby and pregnancy, we were given a crib, and now we have been given beautiful furniture that would not have been within our current means to buy new. It has been amazing to see how He has taken care of us this far in the pregnancy.

For the first time since Christmas, Carey had a Saturday off! We were able to spend the day together with breakfast and then a wonderful morning/afternoon out. We ventured to the State Farmer's Market to get some tomatoes, greens, and sweet potatoes. We then drove to Earth Fare to get our groceries for the week and decided to stop by Home Goods to look for a broom and a saute pan. We didn't buy the pan, but we did get Carey a broom! :)

Here is a video of us moving Bean's new furniture in! Enjoy!

Baby Bean's Crib

Carey and I assembled Bean's crib yesterday! :) We were given this crib about a month ago from some dear friends of ours. :) Pictures are on Facebook, but for our family, and anyone else who wants to watch, here is the video we promised! :)
