And she will be Called...

And my daughter's name will be: Ava Ryann Lee

On the way to work one morning I looked over to Eric and said it and we just looked at each other and said - yup that's it. I think it flows really good and it's easy and it fits. Now that she has a name - it means so much more for me. Since I found out that she is a girl I went into this planning mode - and now that we have her name - it's more real. She moves all the time and is growing. I think I am actually gaining some weight according to my at home scale. On Thursday I will know more as I have a doctor's appointment. Then next month - about 5 weeks away I get to see her again at my sonogram appointment. I can't wait for that day! I want to see her wave, kick, move! It's the best feeling in the world.

So now I am off to finish their room and get the shelves put together, painted and get their names painted to put up on the wall. I love doing this stuff. It puts the biggest smile on my face. It's something I get to do for her!

I am in love with this little girl!

Planning....

Getting things all in order now. I feel like there is so much to do - just not enough time to do it. However, I am off to a great start. I pretty much got the kids room all done. Painted it, changed it around, cleaned it, and decorated it. All it needs now is a crib and a baby! I love the room so much that today I just went into it and sat in my grandmother's rocking chair and just looked around. I know Jorde isn't thrilled about the whole situation, however, that why I wanted to do it now. I wanted him to get used to it so when the baby does come - it wasn't going to be a harder situation. We had some moments over the weekend were we don't see eye to eye - but I just have to try and deal with my emotions and remember things are changing for all of us.

So I also painted the bathroom and next will get our room all situated to add the porta-crib. Not going to paint the room (even though I think it will help me like it better) but some curtains and a new dresser will make a difference. Each week I am just going to get things knocked off my list and before I know it - the baby will be here and the house will ok.

She is moving like a worm. Not sure how else to describe it because I have no idea what she is doing in there. I just know she is poking me and I love it. It makes me feel like I am doing something right because she is alive and breathing. At night I put my hands on my stomach and press just a little and feel her heartbeat. I am looking forward to the next sonogram in June because I get to see her again!
