We had another ultrasound yesterday to look at the baby's heart. The doctor said that everything looks good and he weighs about 1 lb 11 oz. Tim asked the doctor to take another peek to make sure he has boy parts ! Sure enough, still there.
Read more...I just realized that this blog really does need a new name ....
If you have been reading along you know that Emma Leigh had previously determined that there was a "pirate in mommy's tummy" and we were referring to the baby as the pirate. After the ultrasound it seemed natural to call our boy "Jack". Over the course of 2 weeks it really grew on me. We have decided that the baby's name is going to be Jack Nathaniel Edwin (both middle names are from Tim's side of the family).
I registered at target.com and of course, we have no boy things. This house has been princess pink for 11 years now !
So I was thinking of changing the name of the blog to ... Five princesses & a pirate ....
We had a family party for Riley's 4th birthday. Just us and a cake and presents, but it was fun. Then I took Riley to get her hair cut and buy some new outfits before we went to Portrait Innovations and had her picture taken. The results of the photo session are below.
Ok.. so I'm really really behind in this whole blog thing, but things have been very hectic around here.
Here are some Christmas pictures of the girls on the day after Christmas morning (we had Christmas a day late since Tim had to work).
Emma Leigh got a baby doll and she was wearing her backpack (complete with sleeping bag and flashlight).
It is always nice to get exactly what you asked for !
Riley loves elephants so this little guy made her very happy.
This was Mic's gift from Rori - who shopped at the AWANA store.
YEAH Barbie !
A MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! and a Happy New You ! (that is Emma's version !!!)
Brief updates -
Tim is at work today so we aren't doing any celebrating, but we are doing some house cleaning and the kids are thrilled - ok maybe not, but I like to think they are.
We had an ultrasound on 12/9 to check on the pirate since my doctor could not locate a heartbeat at our 12/6 appointment - no panicking - everything was fine. It was neat since the three little girls got to come and see the baby. I have to get my fasting blood sugar done, but have been putting it off. (I know I shouldn't but...) Our next appointment is 12/29. The morning sickness has passed, thankfully, and I am starting to regain my energy (the kids are thrilled about that since it means the laundry will get done faster!) We won't find out the sex of the baby until February so we are still bickering about names - although we agree on a boy's name - Timothy Aidan Paul Cunningham (Timothy is my concession to Tim since he insists this is family tradition ??? Family - help me with this one ??) I have always loved Aidan for a boys name, and it will probably be what the baby is called. Paul is a memorial to 2 important people. My Uncle Paul passed away at a young age and his only child, Destiny, passed before him. And of course, Paul is Sean's middle name - so we get a two for one.
A girl name ( a more likely choice with our current trend!) is up in the air ... Tim likes Molly ... I like Miranda. Go figure.
Happy Holidays - we love you all.
