Belly Shot

We are 20 weeks today - half way to meeting our little girl. No names yet...I guess we have until August to come up with it. We are enjoying pondering what the Lord would have us name her...All I can tell you is that it will be easy to spell, not a double name and she'll be called by her first name. That's as far as we have gotten. I made it 18 weeks without nausea then it began but even what I have experienced seems minor to some stories I hear. It's mostly in the mornings and passes by the time I get going at work. I have had the amazing experience of feeling her move...it does feel like a butterfly in my stomach. Jeff and I went with friends, Keith and Amy Stephens, to hear Boston Brass last Sunday. When they got to their Latin music section, baby girl was dancing. I think she's got rhythm!

Good friends, Sam and Paige Allison, will be having Baby Allison on or near Easter Sunday. Sam gave Jeff a great book, The Expectant Father. He saw in the book that she should be able to hear now. So Jeff has play the guitar and piano for her and she's enjoying that! Maybe she'll get her daddy's musical talent.

So here's my progress in belly growth to this point. I can tell I'm growing and am now out of all but one pair of jeans...So thankful for Andrea, my sister-in-law, for many many reasons and the latest one is the huge bin of maternity clothes and other helpful things she is sharing with me to prepare for what's ahead! Thanks a million!
