Tinley Woodruff!

Well, we decided that our daughter will be named Tinley Woodruff. We are still thinking about the middle name, but possibly Sophia. We had it narrowed down to Addison or Tinley, but Addison just seemed to be too trendy right now. Tinley actually comes from our 1st date, 9 years ago. We saw the movie Summer Catch and the main character was named Tinley. We also stayed in Tinley Park outside of Chicago on our 1st vacation. So it will be a cute story to tell her one day when she asked how we picked out her name!

We also got the nursery put together! It is not finished but all the big things are done! We have the glider, crib, and dresser! It looks so cute! It is very girly! We are doing it in pink and butterflies! I can't wait to see it when it is all done! We also went to Babies R Us and Target and registered! That was fun! Even Randy seemed to have fun (after 3 hours at Babies R Us)! He is getting really excited about his future daughter. He likes to touch and feel my belly all the time! (This is something that I would NEVER let him do before...lol). I just can't wait for him to be able to feel his daughter moving around! He will love it!

It's a girl!!

Well the big day came and went! We had our ultrasound on 9/9/10. She was not squirming much and was not in the best location, but the u/s tech said girl! I won't lie, I am nervous it could turn out to be a boy but fingers crossed the tech was right!! I got a little sick while lying there. I guess it was from being on my back and looking over to the side. I got light headed and felt like I was about to pass out. I sat up and got a cold towel and it passed. Baby had a good heartbeat it was 146bpm.

We celebrated by doing some serious shopping! We got a couple outfits, a crib, dresser, bedding, and diaper bag! It was fun!! Randy even seemed to have fun. After about 2 hours at Babies R Us he was still smiling!

I have to admit I am excited the baby is a girl! Randy thought it was a girl the whole time and I started thinking it was a girl about a week before the u/s. I love pink and can't wait to buy more girlie stuff!!
