Drum Roll Please....

Avery Lia Elliott! YAY!

When will the nameless child be born?

Well, I had an ultrasound on 5/11 which showed that our little girl is in the 81% for size, she weighed about 4lbs 13oz. So, she's big! I had a doctors appointment on 5/22 and according to her, the baby's growth could slow down since I have been eating less carbs and controlling the diabetes. However, there is still a chance she could continue to grow to large:-( In that case, the doctor would probably induce. I have another ultrasound on 6/10 and they are going to determine her size, to see if she's still growing too big. This whole "giving birth" thing is getting closer and closer and I'm a little freaked out!
On a lighter note, she has hair! You can see it in the ultrasound picture...I'm hoping my child dodges the Smidt bald baby genes! Looking at my father-in-law, she's gonna have a TON of hair! I do have had heartburn!
That's all the updates for today!

Too good to be true:-(

So I found out that everyone thinks that Leigha is pronounced "laya" like the princess from Star Wars when we really meant it to be "leah". Shawn doesn't want to explain and correct people all the time and also doesn't like any other spelling of the name. So we are scrapping the name and starting over:-( I'm done making suggestions, it's all Shawn now! She just may be Baby Girl Elliott forever!

WHAT?!

Does she have a name you ask?! After almost 8 months of debating, and dare I say arguing...she has a NAME! This morning, Shawn sent me an e-card for mother's day and it was from him, Morgan, Boozer, and LEIGHA! I have been pushing that name for the last two months and I'm so happy that he finally agreed:-) And I never thought of that spelling, it's really pretty. So now we just have to work on a middle name. I like Hayden which was just brought to my attention by my sister-in-law Mandi. Not only is it cute but it's also an Elliott family name, it was Shawn's grandpa's name. But I'm less concerned about her middle name as her first name...I can finally call her something! YAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all the fantastic moms out there!

Nesting?

I hope it kicks in soon again! I have felt so lazy lately! I have no desire to clean or do chores around the house. I'm guessing that's because I'm big and don't really want to bend down anymore:-( But I keep reading about all these women who nest like crazy and I kind of wish I had those urges because that would mean my house was clean! Don't get me wrong, my house is neat but I don't really feel like cleaning the bathrooms or vacuuming so I've been pawning those jobs off on Shawn, haha! But I figure it's only fair, I carry our child and he scrubs the toilets! It's not like I am super tired or anything I just feel lazy. I am actually feeling pretty good, I am just in the mood to relax. Lets hope it kicks in soon and I'm on my hands and knees scrubbing base boards and dusting every object in sight!

Oh, still no name.
