Our First Project

As soon as I heard that our crib was here, I asked Jordan if we could put it together. At first I panicked because Jordan told me that there were no directions...but it was no big deal because he didn't NEED directions. Anyone who knows me knows that I always follow the directions when it comes to putting something together so I searched and searched and finally he found them. I think he would totally agree with me that without the directions we would still be trying to figure it out.

I just wanted to post a few pictures of my great husband and his handy work -- I hear he had a GREAT assistant (that would be ME). I know you can't see much of the final project, but that's because I was so impatient to see the crib put together that I didn't give him a chance to remove the guest room furniture. So, currently it's a little tight in the room...but hopefully by the weekend all the extra furniture will be in the attic.

Emily Kathryn Barrow

Well, we have finally decided on a name for our baby girl - Emily Kathryn. Emily Kathryn is actually the name I have always wanted to use for a little girl. I first hesitated because my sister has three kids with names that start with the letter "E" so I thought maybe I should try a different letter. After my dad jokingly asked if I was going to pick a letter of the alphabet to start naming my kids, I decided maybe we should just keep the "E" theme going:)

Kathryn has special meaning for me because it is my sister's middle name. When my sister had her first child, which was a little girl, she used my middle name Elizabeth...so I've always wanted to use her middle name in return. So because of that, we will be calling our little girl Emily Kathryn.

So, if you're reading this Holley, I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I'm so thankful God chose you to be MY sister!!!

20 Weeks

Well, a few of my out of town friends have asked about my growing bump and to post pictures. Well, here is my attempt to capture my growing belly.

Everything is going great. We are still trying to agree on a name and hope to start painting the nursery soon...assuming I can figure out a time that won't interfere with Jordan's love of Alabama football!

Have a great week!
