Belly Pics

Ok, so here they are for those of you who want to see my growing belly. I am kind of embarrassed about posting these pictures, but I guess this is all part of the experience. I literally feel like she is growing more and more each week and I am getting bigger and bigger each week!! Jeremy loves my growing belly, he thinks its really cute. Me, on the other hand, I am still not to sure about it. Some days its neat to look down and see my growing belly, other days I can't believe how big its gotten already and can't imagine it growing any bigger. But, it really is neat to think and realize what a blessing it is to be pregnant and how truly it is a miracle from God.

Reagan Avery Walden

Oh, how sweet. Don't you just love her name. It is not set in stone completely yet, but most likely, this will be her name. Reagan Avery Walden. Our little precious baby Reagan. That is what we have been calling her since we decided on her name. Alot of our friends call her baby Reagan now also. I have always loved the name Reagan. I never knew anyone named Reagan, but I have always thought it was a special and classy name that you do not hear too often. The story about how we came up with her name is this: We were at our bible study one night. We were all sitting around and the subject came up about what to name Baby Reagan. Our lifehouse leader, Jeff Black, got out his computer and started looking up different names. I had told them that I liked the name Reagan from the beginning. He named probably 300 names that night. At one point, he said the name Avery. I stopped and thought about it and thought that was really pretty. Then another friend of ours, Michael Downey said "How about Avery Reagan." I thought about it for a moment and then said, "How about Reagan Avery?" And the rest is history. As soon as the name came out of my mouth, it just seemed right.

Its a Girl

Its official, baby Walden is a girl. We are so excited. We actually have known for a while now, but I though I would post this sonogram picture that proves that she is a little girl. We have now had three sonograms that have shown that she is a little girl, so I finally believe it!! It is really hard to tell what exactly you are looking at in the picture, but I was assured on several occassions that that is what a girl looks like :-))

Sonogram pictures

Here are some of my favorite sonogram pictures. I just love the profile shots. At first, the sonogram pictures did not quite look like a baby. Our first sonogram picture looked like a snowman, the second, Jeremy thought the baby looked like Casper the ghost. Finally, these sonogram pictures look like a beautiful gift from God. They are just precious. I look at the sonogram pictures often and cannot believe how fast a baby grows. These sonogram pics were taken at 17 and 19 weeks.
