Double the pleasure..

THe more I'm thinking of having another little girl, the more excited I am getting.  Eden is very well aware that you are now in my belly.  Now the size of a avocado! Yum!  She often pats my belly and says baby and tries to lift up my shirt to see the belly/baby and kisses it.  She melts my heart with the love she already has for you.

I am looking forward to you coming and feeling the love from ALL of us.  Daddy has already starting referring to his 3 girls and I'm looking forward to all our girl time. Eden is going to be a great big sister and you are going to be a very lucky little sister! I ordered matching outfits for you  and I can't wait to start taking some pictures of my beautiful daughters! I also couldn't help myself the other day and had to buy about 10 newborn outfits. They looked so small and picturing you in them cuddled on my chest made me very excited. We are almost half way there! Yay! :) 24 more weeks to go...

You are now able to hear us, so expect daddy to do a lot of talking to you. I might also chime in. :) BEWARE!

Sugar & Spice & everything nice..

..that's what little girls are made of.   That's right.. you are another beautiful little girl. We are so excited that you and Eden will be so close and be the best of friends.  We assumed that I was 14weeks pregnant but after the ultra sound, they think you are about 2weeks further then we thought. The same thing happened with Eden. This means you might be a July baby!  YAY! :)

We loved watching you moving inside my tummy.  You have cute little hands and cute little toes and daddy thinks you will join Eden and I with our same nose. :) I'm so excited to hold you, but it was so nice to see you and to know what to prepare for. We now need to come up with a name. Sorry.. but we had only agreed on a boy name. Now we have to find something we both will love as much as you.

Here are a few of the new names we came across this morning in our search.
Nyah Belle
Shae Belle
Lucy Belle
Liliana Belle

Your dad has now come around to the idea of Eliza Belle and slowly but surely Esme Belle so those are in the running too. :) For now we will call you our sweet little girl.

12 week belly

Tired and in Pain

Hi little one.
I thought this pregnancy would go by faster then it did with Eden, but these last two weeks have been going by so slow. I'm anxious to see if you will be a boy or a girl and the wait is killing me. :)

I've been trying to keep busy with Eden. To be honest I have no choice. She is a busy little body. It has oddly been much harder on my body and I feel like I'm gaining more weight. I keep having thoughts that I'm having twins, although neither family has a history of twins. I'm just being hopeful and trying to make an explanation for my weight gain and body aches.  I hope we can see you in just a few more days.. I'm excited to start preparing for you and to have a name to call you.

I have a Dr. Appointment on Tuesday and hopefully they have a good report card. Maybe.... just maybe... they will give me a sneak peak! :)

Love,
Mom

Baby, lets talk gender..

We have two long weeks until the very earliest that we can find out what you are.  I hope to find out on Valentines day. Wouldn't that be a great and memorable way to celebrated the day of love.  I would love you to be a girl or a boy. One of each would be very nice but it would also be very nice to have a little girl. I know what to expect. :) Daddy and I have not yet agreed on many names only one really.
Here is a list of Boy Names I like.
We have agreed your middle name will be Reed after your Grandpa Simkins
Ezra Michael Reed
Edison
Milo
Grant (After your Late Great Grandpa Riggs) This was a continder with Eden
Theo
Gabriel
Noah
Lucas
Maxwell
Quinn
We love the Idea of you and Eden starting with E and being 4 letters.  Plus Ezra Reed Southworth Sounds good. :)

Girl Names are a little tougher. We actually haven't agreed on a single one. Although we have agreed that the middle name will be Belle after your great grandma Southworth
Fiona Belle is my favorite.. I even like it shortened to Fi-B (Phoebe)
Adele is Beautiful too but Adele Belle could be either really cute or a target for songs and teasing
Beatrice
Cecilia
Elouise
Esme
Here are a few Name options before we picked Eden Grace
Lydia
Eliza
We even considered... get ready.....
Elle Wynn Your dads middle name is Elwin and I didn't want to use it for a boys middle name but it has been a name in your daddies family for a long time... so I played with it a little. :)
