Thomas, Jaiden and the bump

Well, here they are, Thomas, Jaiden and The Bump! I guess I'm going to have to stop calling this poor baby the bump soon because it's actually going to be a gender soon. We go Tuesday, Sept. 16 to find out. She will be 18 weeks and they have told her they can tell. I'm a bit skeptical, simply because I have been through this process before and either the doctor couldn't tell for certain or the baby wouldn't cooperate. I was always in suspense until after 23 weeks, and with the twins, we knew Maison was a boy, but MolliKate just wouldn't cooperate and I was stressing....praying that I didn't get TWO BOYS! Sorry, nothing against boys, I love the two I was blessed to carry and they one that I now can call partially mine, but I'm just not sure I could have handled two at the same time.

Anyway, maybe we will get lucky and the baby will cooperate! They have a boy's name picked out I think, but they are hung up on the girl's name. That's ok, soon we will know which name we are going to be needing.

Natalee's Birthday presents

We drove to Florence, Alabama for Natalee's first birthday. These are the things that were created for her. The pink patchwork thing is a duffle bag like the big girls use - it's big enough to take the baby and all her belongings! Let's just say she can go to Papaw's house for an extended stay with this bag. The outfit is made from hot pink dimple dot fabric, with a white t with her initial appliqued on it. She opened the pink outfit and grabbed the pants, wrapped them up in her arms and stuck her thumb in her mouth. They are really soft. I had a hard time keeping my girls away from the scraps while I was sewing it.
