Baby Taylor Update

On Friday, I decided to take Taterbean with me to a doctor's appointment. We were heading to a play date afterwards, so I thought I'd be brave and give it a try. He did really well, and I know that Dr. Gessner loved seeing him. She even made him come into her office for some candy and explained to him that she was the first one to ever hold him!

Baby is great and I feel great! It was about a a five minute routine check. Her heart rate was in the 140s.  Tate covered his ears the whole time when we were listening to her heart beat. He said, "That is too loud." haha! I disagree…I think it's the best sound in the world!

We are currently 23 weeks along. We don't have a name yet, but have a very LONG list. We can't seem to agree on too many. The joy of being teachers- every time one of us mentions a name it's sparks a memory of a student one of us had in a previous teaching year. It's funny how one school year with a feisty student can make you dislike a name. Isn't that terrible of me? But on the flip side, I got Tate's name from a first grade student I had during student teaching. So it isn't all bad.

Anyways, we have a little time to figure out a name! In the meantime, I'm going try to avoid giving into the temptation of buying pink. I have this addiction to Etsy and can't stop searching for girly things! I'll probably end up with the biggest tom boy ever. I'm ok with that, I remember tromping around the farm in pigtails and rubber boots, and I still wore pink every now and then.

Let's go Broncos BABY!

Well, today is the Superbowl and I have a very nervous hubby! :) We are having some neighbors over for a small party. The basement is all rearranged and ready to go for a Broncos party. We even had to move the couch from upstairs down there so we had plenty of room for people to sit.
I'm excited for an evening with friends and lots of munching. 

Anyways, I decided that it was probably time to put a baby bump picture on here. Today I am almost 22 weeks! I feel great! Baby Girl is starting to get more active and I feel like I'm growing like crazy! 

 Let's go Broncos, Baby! :)
