Christmas 08

We had a great Christmas! It came and went so quickly, but it was great spending time with our family and friends. It's hard to believe this was our last Christmas with just the two of us!

Baby Shower!

Yesterday my sister-in-law Noelle had a really nice baby shower for me. The food was great and Avery got lots of cute stuff! Noelle also gave her some books and toys that Bridgette and Alex use to play with. How special it is for Avery to be able to play with the same toys as her cousins!

3D Ultrasound

Avery was not very cooperative when we had our ultrasound done. She was a little camera shy and kept covering her face when they tried to get a good picture of her, so we don't have many 3D shots. She has chubby cheeks and a cute little face though! It was neat to watch her move her arms and open and close her mouth...very fascinating. According to this ultrasound (which is not 100% accurate), Avery now weighs a whopping 3.7 pounds! We may not make it until February.....

We haven't figured out how to convert our "video images" into pictures, so I had to submit them as videos. Just hit play to see the pictures!

This is Avery's face!

These are her crossed arms

This is her profile & hands

Profile

If there were any doubts about Avery being a girl, this picture definitely confirmed it!

Two-thirds of the way down!

I promise I don't enjoy posting pictures of myself all the time, but that is the only way to show off our precious baby right now...that will soon change though! Tomorrow we will have our 3D ultrasound and I can't wait! Be sure to check back for the pictures!

And the winner is.....

We have finally decided on a name! We've decided to call our baby girl Avery. We wanted something different and not so common, so we finally settled on Avery. Her middle name will be Jean. My middle name is Jean and my mother's middle name is Jean, so we thought we would carry on the tradition. Jean is also Shayne's grandmother's name, so this will incorporate both families too. Avery Jean King....has a nice ring to it, huh?!?

Happy Halloween!

Sean & Aprile brought Kayden by to trick-or-treat. Kayden loves Dixie, but Dixie was only interested in the people who could pet her.

Dixie is a little unsure about her costume.....
