X for Exciting

It doesn't seem that long ago that I actually posted about our blossoming family. With our now two year old little girl, we were set up to find out this time if our baby was going to be a boy or a girl. We headed to the hospital to get the ultrasound done on April 2. I had honestly been so excited but so nervous at the same time. While we knew we had a 50/50 shot of a boy or a girl, we were secretly (maybe not so secretly) hoping for a boy this time. We would have one daddy's girl and one mama's boy. It would be perfect. But, there were pros to having another girl too. First of all, we have EVERYTHING already for a girl. Clothes, bibs, blankets, etc. Not to mention we think we did pretty well with Abby and if we get another girl as cute as her, we are set!

So without further adieu, as I promised in my previous post, I am proud to present pictures of Cletus the Fetus.

Cute little nose, chin and head. In case you have trouble seeing these pictures, It is a profile picture with Cletus is laying down looking to the left.

Little foot. Toes are pointing towards the lower right corner.

This shot is looking directly down at Cletus. Josh affectionately calls this the alien shot.

And finally...drumroll...you ready? You sure?

Really?


HERE SHE IS!!!


Whew! No more secrets. She is a healthy 12 ounces at this point and I am starting to get kicked. Josh even got kicked by her last week! It is the cutest thing for him to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle" to his little baby girl. Our big baby girl is absolutely oblivious even though she sees the ultrasound pictures on the fridge and knows it is a picture of Cletus.

And I know everyone is wondering if we are sticking with Cletus the Fetus until she is born. I haven't come up with anything I want to change it to and Josh loves to call her Cletus. Eh. Whatever. Now on to picking names...At least the choices are down by 50% but before you even ask, we are not deciding or telling until she is born. With Abby, we had two names picked for a girl and two for a boy. We decided on the name the minute she was born. That is how it will be this time.

If you have any name suggestions, they must be submitted IN WRITING to the committee. All verbal entries will be considered null and void. You will not be able to get your money back.

Oh the possibilities!!!
Hm, let me think... Esther, Rachel, Rose, Bethany, or you can just call her Elmo which will get Abigail into your corner. Or even go with Lisa or Marge in keeping with the Simpson theme. If I find a Cletus doll, would that be in poor taste to give it to the baby?

Sorry Jen. We can't have names that are close to real names because people will think that is what we are naming her. If you happen to find a Cletus doll, we will take it for the nursery.

Girls are fun. Jen and Lee were so diff. Lee was so careful about everything and Jen just barged into the middle of everything. Jen is now getting everything she gave me. Ask Jen what she wanted to name sprite.
I'm happy for you take care of yourself and the family.
