Forgot to post this one! - oops!

Dear Sweet Baby M,

We are all getting so excited to meet you! You have begun to kick and punch and wiggle around inside of me and I absolutely love the feeling! We will be moving back to Indiana in just a few short days and we can not wait to start a nursery for you! We got you a beautiful crib that is a deep brown wood and just gorgeous! I will be painting my old dresser white for you to use and we got you a brand new rocking chair that is chocolate brown to match your crib! I hope to add some purple and pink to make it all girly for you just like your sister's room! Speaking of your sister, she loves to play in your crib! She also loves to pick out stuffed animals for you and to let me know which of her toys she will be sharing with you! She also picked out a cute outfit for us to put you in on your way home from the hospital. We of course already got 'little sister' and 'big sister' shirts for you both! Can't wait for the day you can wear yours!


Love, Mommy, Daddy and Carolina!

We have our name -

So you can take your thinking caps off :)

We are not sharing, at least not now..but it is pretty popular so you could probably guess what it is if you tried - and no it does not being with an "A".

Excited to meet our girl in 20 weeks or less!

Today's the Day!

I will keep everyone posted as soon as we know! I can't believe how many people have voted 'boy'! Ha!

UPDATE: Everyone was WRONG!!! It's a GIRL! More pink for the St. Charles'! Carolina is so excited to have a baby sister :)

EIGHT DAYS !!!

We can't wait! Just 8 days until we find out the sex :) Yippee!!!!

Baby Names

Picking a baby name has proven to be much more challenging this time around. I will give you all a small hint in that our top name today for both a boy and a girl start with an "A" so most likely this blog will read 'Little Miss C and Little Mr/Miss A' in the next 5-6 months, but I don't REALLY know! We are completely torn when it comes to names. Even our top names are not definite by any means - we are open to having them tossed and new ones brought in, they are just the best we have come up with so far. We are open to being swayed by others this time around so if you have any you would like to suggest, please go right ahead! We would love to hear them! 16 days until we find out the sex, so that ought to help us focus!

Beach

Being her typical goofy self.... dancing away!

Beautiful scenary

Frightened of the sand

Hanging with baby doll Emma and watching the waves

Finally adjusting to the beach and building a sandcastle with daddy

15 months and busy

We are still here. I have some cute pics to post from our trip to Boston, but I need Jason to downsize them as they are huge and will not upload. We are busier than ever with Jason taking 3 classes and working most nights too. I don't think either of us have ever worked this hard and it is definitely taking a toll on both of us. It is ultimately all going to take us in the right direction, but certainly challenging us daily. We are looking forward to a long weekend in August and for school to wind down a bit! Carolina and I have had lots of time to bond at the pool this summer and at the park. We found a custard place that we both love so that has become something of a ritual on Sunday's for us too! This city is definitely not one that I would recommend, adding some additional stress to our everyday and therefore we are already talking seriously about our next steps to get out! That's about it for now. Pictures to follow. - And we should know the sex of baby number 2 on August 11th at 1pm, just a few weeks away!
