Taylor Grace!

Well, we found out at 13 weeks, that our baby on the way was most likely a girl… again at 15 weeks, my doc said she looked like a girl.  Last Thursday, our 19 week ultrasound confirmed that indeed there is a sweet baby girl in my belly!  She’s developing well, is a few days ahead of schedule, has long feet and legs, wide hands, and a gorgeous spine.  She is VERY active and although that I knew, I didn’t know she also opens her mouth a whole lot too… hmmm I wonder if that has any bearing on how much she’ll talk or eat? :)

She kept her hand (and sometimes both feet) in front of her face for most of the ultrasound so the 4D pics of her face were hard to get.  Of course at this stage these always look amazing and really weird all at the same time!  Here’s a glimpse of our little Taylor Grace…

And this post? That’s my “project”.  It’s her room… aka our old office/storage facility/landing group for what doesn’t belong anywhere else/hiding space so the rest of the house looks more organized.  I have a huge endeavor in front of me!  Many of the boxes in the back have been there since we moved in, almost 2 years ago!  A lot of it is scrapbook supplies which I need to get rid of… let me know if you’d like any and if you’ll cover shipping, I’ll send it your way! :) 

We have also decided to cloth diaper little Taylor from the get go.  We started with Nathan around 15 months, so we have little clue as to how it works with newborns, but I’ve been adding to our cloth stash little by little.  It’s so fun to order girlie diapers!!!!!

We’ve also hit a few yard sales in the past two weeks and have made some HUGE scores.  I tell you what, I have a lot of clothes for her already that look brand new, 6 pair of shoes in various sizes, some blankets, swaddle wraps, socks, and all kinds of goodies!  I love yard sales!

Nathan is thrilled to be having a baby sister and will tell anyone that her name is Taylor Grace and she’s in mommy’s belly, right there!  :)  So sweet!   Since you all know I love to reminisce, here are a few of Nathan’s 20 week ultrasound pics.

Ok, so if #2 is a girl, Taylor is her name. And Grace is in contention for the middle name. All I can say, great minds think alike! :-)

Hope everything is going well. Would love to see you guys sometime soon.

I'm sure it does wonders for you to know that she is healthy and growing. It's absolutely amazing to me how a baby grows inside her mama. What a miracle!

After taking a peek at your nursery room photo, I have to smile. That's what we had to do to move Alex to his new room before Max came. No more junk room :(

How fun to get girly diapers - pink, purple, flowery...we don't see much of that around here! ;)

Yeah! Congrats, Taylor is a beautiful name. Have fun decorating the nursery, can't wait to see pictures. The biggest thing I noticed different when cloth diapering a newborn was just that I needed a lot more diapers. But there are so many super cute ones out there. :)
