This new baby bump (names)

IT HAS HAPPENED! Steve and I are having another bundle of joy. We are sooooooooo thrilled. I don't think that it is a secret that I love pregnancy and babies. I have started the countdown to labor already. We are not finding out the gender again with baby 3, which makes that delivery day that more exciting for Stephen and I. We have picked our names already.
We are staying with Elsee Ren (which would have been Cyrus' name if he had been a girl). "Elsie" is a family name but when researching it, I found the spelling Elsee and loved the look of it, so it does have our spin on it. Ren is from my middle name, Renee, but I like one syllable middle names for girls (Evie Rae).
Gage Alton for a boy. Gage is a name of a friend of Stephens brother, Caleb. He has always loved the name and I had to agree, it does fit our little family. Alton is my Great-Grandpa's name, which I have always loved.
I have had minor nausea a handful of days and been a little tired. This pregnancy had been totally different from both of my other pregnancies, which makes it hard to guess the gender. But I am sure as my belly grows I will have a stronger opinion one way or the other.
We are praying for a healthy baby and healthy birth. So thankful for such a wonderful pregnancy so far. More pictures and updates to come (hopefully some side by side comparison belly shots from previous baby bumps.) Here is 12 week belly shot.

  1. So I'm pretty sure that my belly, NOT PREGNANT, is bigger than yours! Especially after I drink a lot of fluids. SO funny! Love you and that wonderful growing baby!
