Baby Name Game #3

Here it is. We think this one is pretty easy.

P.S. We're very excited to be heading out of town this weekend to the beach to celebrate my Nana and Dado's 80th birthdays.

Baby Name Game #2

Okay, time for the next letter - here's the clue:

DRULEIPA (_)_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Unscramble the word and the first letter is the next to add to your list. Congrats to all who figured out last week's word.

Also, we should clarify the clues are going to be for our girl's first and middle names. We thought we'd do the last name too, but that's hopefully obvious to those who know us, and not something I like to put up on the internet for all to see.

Baby Name Game #1

Well, as expected, one of the first questions people are asking us these days is if we have a name picked out for our little girl. We do, but we are keeping it a secret for now - we want there to be a little bit of surprise when she gets here.

However, we thought it would be fun to develop a little game that would give interested family and friends the chance to guess what the name might be. So, periodically, we're giving clues that reveal one letter at a time, until August. The clues are in the form of scrambled words, that, once unscrambled, reveal a letter. Want to play? Here's the first clue:

LIPSATHO _ _ _ _ _(_)_ _

Unscramble that word and the sixth letter will be a part of the name.

Even if nobody guesses, Matt and I had a great time coming up with this. Enjoy.

It's A Girl!

...and everything is growing right on schedule and looking great!

19 weeks

That's me with a little one growing everyday. At least I feel like I'm growing everyday. I'm hungry! And I'm feeling the baby's little kicks when I sit down and pay attention.

P.S. Mom and Dad, those are the maternity jeans you bought me! Thanks!

The baby's gender...

is not something we know yet, but we want to know. I want to know very badly, especially after having my mom here last week searching for baby clothes that aren't completely gender specific.

Anyway, the scheduled big-deal ultrasound is April 23. I'm sure those three weeks will go super quick and we'll have exciting news soon.

We documented Easter 2008 for posterity behind our apartment. Matt looks handsomely springtime-y right? I look...pregnant.

Happy Easter!

Having a lovely day. We just got back from an hour sitting at the park by the lake. It's beautiful and sunny and joyful.

I think playing Wii bowling is making me better at real bowling.

I achieved my highest bowling score EVER on Friday night. That's right people. 112.

It's either the Wii practice or, as Matt suggested, the baby has changed my center of gravity to something more advantageous for rolling 8 lb. balls on slick wood floors.

why I've been missing here lately

We're having a baby! It seems like everything in my days lately has revolved around that, and between being nauseous and being tired I have not been able to get the energy to post much here.

But...I want to. There's sure to be lots of interesting things happening between now and September, when our little one will arrive.
