Anytime now "nesting"...

I keep waiting for my 'nesting' instincts to kick in.We have SO much to do around the house and I just don't have the motivation to do it lately. We got our bedding in a few weeks ago and are slowly starting to get baby clothes for Vincent. We just have to switch bedrooms (we're turning the guest room to the master...both are the same size), paint nursery (we'd also like to paint our room), get crib in and assembled, get all other furniture ready.....AHHHH! I'm sure it'll all get done, I would just feel relief if it was done now. 

 

Our super cute bedding!

"It" has a name!

After a lot of discussion, tons of lists, advice from everyone we know, etc...we have decided on a name for Cricket! Oddly enough, it was our original name. So come June, VINCENT KEITH will be here! We are so excited we can barely contain it!

What's in a name????

So at just 18.5 weeks I am well aware that we have A LOT of time to pick a name for our little one, but I will feel a lot of relief once we name our little "Cricket". Before we found out that it was a boy we were set on Vincent Keith as the name....but once we got "it's a boy!!!" I started to feel like that isn't his name. It's definitely still on The List, but just not 100%. Trace and I have definitely found that we are complete opposites with name choices. I like old-school classics like Oliver, Henry, and John. Trace really likes names like Monty, Godrick, and Dante. Eek! I'm really interested to see what he ends up named! Any suggestions?

It's a.....

BOY!!!!!

Well we are 90% sure that it's a boy. Got some pretty good shots but little one is a bit stubborn and spent most of the ultrasound sitting indian style!!! We thought that we were 100% set on Vincent, but once we found out it was a boy we started second guessing the name and thinking of some new ones. I'm interested to see what he ends up being called. I was sure that he was a girl so it was definitely a shock seeing little boy parts, but I am so excited!!! Nothing better than a boy lovin his mama! I can't wait to meet HIM!!! :)

Stuck in my head....as I'm sure it will for a few more years.

Baby Mine

 

Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
Never to part,
Baby of mine.

Little one when you play,
Don't you mind what they say.
Let those eyes sparkle and shine,
Never a tear,
Baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you,
They'd end up loving you too.
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be,
Baby of mine.

Baby of mine

First Post!

Trace and I got married Sept 3, 2010 and then were SHOCKED to learn that we were expecting in late October. Guess we work fast... So now we are anxiously awaiting out little "Cricket" to make his/her appearance in June. June 24th is the latest d-day. My sister recently suggested starting a blog to chronicle our preparation and life of our upcoming arrival, so I thought I'd give it whirl!  We are going to find out on Wednesday (just 2 more days!!!) if Cricket will be a Vincent or an Evie and we CAN NOT WAIT! I'm hoping to really keep on top of this blog to keep friends/family in the loop, as well as keep a great record for us! It might take me a min or two to get the hang of this blogging thing, but hang in there! :)

"Cricket" as of December 2010...should get a new one on Wed!
