The Week 22 update!

// July 30th, 2008 // 10 Comments » // fun

It’s week 22 and Lyla sure is kicking and raising all kinds of ruckus.
Funny, when I was typing her name above, I automatically put “Elyla” first and couldn’t figure out what was wrong for a second there.
Old habits die hard.
So like I said, she’s moving around a lot, but I haven’t been able to feel [...]

It’s a Lyla!

For those of you who predicted a boy…I suggest NOT going to Vegas this weekend.
It’s a girl!
Lyla Grace is her name, which I absolutely love, so I’m really excited.
The entire process of looking at every part of this little baby girl was so awesome, but the best part of everything was seeing Lyla let [...]

We’re going BANANAS!

Welcome to Week 21.
Okay, how perfect that the size of little Elyla is a BANANA today, because it has a double-meaning.

On Sunday morning while we were still waking up, Jina grabbed my hand and put it against her cute little belly. Suddenly I felt two [...]

It’s Week 20: Prediction time and Picture time!

// July 15th, 2008 // 24 Comments » // family

Alright, here we are at Week 20 and that means it’s just ONE week until we find out if Elyla is an Eli or a Lyla.
One miserably long stinkin’ week.
With that comes our little contest. No prizes will be given out, but I will post the names of those who get it right.
Okay, before we [...]

OMG! The baby moved!

// July 11th, 2008 // 10 Comments » // family

Okay, today is officially awesome.
Jina just called to tell me she felt the baby move a few times, just a light fluttering. But it WAS the baby.
Imagine my surprise when my eyes got all teary. I did NOT see that coming.
I can’t wait to feel it myself sometime soon, I’m just so very, very excited.
Also, [...]
