Kids say the craziest things

I was talking with my nephews and my niece the other day about the baby and I asked them what they thought their names should be. Ben, the seven year old, said, “Wedding Bride.” He’s such a hoot. Jake, almost nine, said he likes Caroline or Carolina, which aren’t that bad. Caroline has been on my list for some time now.

The funniest reply came from Rivers, who’s four, when she said the baby’s name should be Olive. The best part was when she (very seriously) said, “It should be spelled D-O-R-L-Y and one number- the number 12!” She was so proud. So, if we get confirmation of our little one’s gender tomorrow, you might get to meet DORLY-number-12 in May!

Baby Morphing

Do you remember the scene on How To Lose a Guy In Ten Days where Kate Hudson morphs hers and Matthew Mcconaughey’s faces together to see what their family portraits would look like? Well, I ventured into the scary world of predicting what our baby will look like too. The results? I’ll let you decide:

I’ve always said I hoped our babies had Justin’s blonde hair and blue eyes. All of the ones I did came out with enlarged foreheads…I’m thinking Justin’s hair is so light that the computer thinks it’s his forehead—or I have a big ol’ honkin noggin.

Just for kicks and sort of a control, I did a morph of my sister- and brother-in-law. Here is what the computer came up with:

Not even close! Here is a shot of their three munchkins:

I guess we’ll be left hanging until May to see our precious little one!

Baby Bump

Here’s a quick shot I snapped on my phone this past Friday while trying on my very first maternity shirt! I don’t think there could be anyone more proud of a poking out belly than I am now!

Flutter, Flutter

I have started to feel the baby move more often. I’m sitting at work and I can feel it right now. It feels like a little muscle twitch or a butterfly flutter! I can’t wait for big time kicks and moves that everyone else can feel now!
