Baby Names

So, we have always had a name picked out for you. Marshall Dylan if you're a boy (which I think you are) or Emma Grace if you're a girl. That was your daddy's Grandma's name and my great grandma's name. So it's very special.

But now, I'm in a pickle with you. I keep finding all the beautiful names and now its making the decision hard! So I have decided to list them here so I don't forget what they are. No worries though, because we have plenty of time!

BOY
Marshall Dylan
Christopher Dane
Ethan Parker
Landon Bryce



GIRL
Emma Grace
Austin Nichole
Chloe Megan/Faith/Paige

Well, it seems as if you have already pulled one over on us! Before the ultrasound, the doctor's said you're due date was January 28th now its February 6th! You little stinker! Oh well. You just stay in there as long as you need!

It was so exciting to see you for the first time today! I had no idea the kind of emotions I would feel. I still haven't cried yet, which is kind of odd, but I'm sure it will come tonight when everything has slowed down. Daddy was laughing and all he could say was "WOW"! You were sleeping on us at first but the doctor fixed that! When she went searching for your umbilical cord, you woke up. I don't think you liked all that prodding to much....don't worry, neither did I! After you woke up, you started kicking around and waving your arms, definitely putting on a show for the us! All that kicking you were doing, we are sure you're going to be a soccer player like daddy!

Sweet baby, I can not wait to meet you! I dream about you all the time! It is still so unreal that God has finally given you to us!

Love with all my heart,
Mommy <3

Nine Months

My precious little baby,
I have loved you from the start.
You are a tiny miracle
Laying closely to my heart.
Each day I feel your presence,
Each day you quickly grow,
Each day your heart beats softly,
As only I could know.
So, I'll keep this in a special place
And remember each year through,
Of this special time in my life
In the months I carried you.

In the Beginning!

Me and daddy (I love it!) tried so long for you! Two years to be exact! We thought for sure we would never get this far. How dare us put limits on God! The day I found out I was pregnant with you, I thought it was a dream. At first all I could do was cry. How many times have I taken these test and they came back negative? Nothing like the words "Not Pregnant" on those stupid little things. After I got over the initial shock of it, I thought for sure there was something wrong with the test. So I got ready for work, went by Publix and bought another test. And low and behold, it was positive again! Now I was really excited and I could wait to tell your daddy! I new just how I was going to do it!

I didn't talk to daddy all day long because I was afraid I would spill the beans. I went to Wal Mart and got you your first bib...It said "I love Daddy". I wrapped it up all nice and pretty with the test...you can't forget the test! When he opened it, at first he didn't know what it was. He thought I was giving him a thermometer until he read it! Silly boy! When he saw that, he cried. He was so happy! He was ready to pick you up from the hospital that day. He didn't want to wait. Come to think of it, I don't think he ever saw the bib. I'm going to have to show that to him when I get home!

We kept you a secret for a couple of weeks. We wanted to wait for our Doctor's appointment and make sure all was good before we started telling people. All I can say is, you, my sweet baby, are already REALLY loved. You have so many people waiting for you! They are waiting to spoil you rotten and then send you back to me and daddy! That's okay, though. This is what we have been waiting for.

Lord, help us bring this sweet baby up in Your will.
