Happy Valentine's Day

Something yummy on this day of love....

To Dave....you are the love of my life, my best friend, my partner on this journey that God has blessed us with. Thank you for being you because I love it. I cannot wait to raise our daughter with you.

To our sweet girl Leighton....I hope you always know how much you are loved by seeing the way your Daddy and I love one other. You are the most special result of that love. We cannot wait to meet you.

To our families....thank you for loving us so much and so perfectly. We are better prepared to be Leighton's parents by being your son/daughter/brother/sister.

Hi! My Name Is...

I admit it! I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. But, I really WANT to be good at it. I am going to keep trying. I think I just need to realize that what I have to say doesn't always have to be awesome news to be blog-worthy. Please stick with me!

So, I know that I told you that our baby girl's name would be picked out by the New Year in the last blog post. Well, what I meant was the Chinese New Year, which is today! After many discussions between Dave and I and weighing a couple of serious options, we have settled on the perfect name for our little blessing. In 13 short weeks or less, Leighton Olivia will be joining our family. I cannot wait to start putting her name/monogram on little onesies and blankets!

Also, I have been promising a belly pic for those of you who we don't see on a regular basis. Here it is...

Little Leighton is making her mom a little fat, huh??

The nursery is coming together! We painted (well ventilated, of course) last weekend and have ordered the crib and some of the fabrics. The room is tiny so it is hard to get a good pic, but I promise to post some of the finished product!

Thanks for being patient with me! We love you and thank you for your continued prayers!
