Brooke Is Finally Here

Brooke Monroe is here. She was born on Monday July 20th at 3:48 pm. She weighed 5 lbs 10 oz and is 18 inches long. Brooke is a tiny bundle of joy and we are very excited she is here.

Still Waiting

So we can't wait to see Baby Brooke. But of course she is going to be stubborn like her brother and we will probably not have her until the end of July. What do you do......they have a mind of their own that's for sure. Carter wonders everyday when he will see her. We will keep you posted when she finally makes her appearance.

Finally

So I think Devin and I finally decided on a name for this little bundle. We are going to call her Brooke..... well unless she comes out and looks entirely un-Brooke-ish. Even Carter has started calling her baby Brooke instead of Green or Blue. We are really making progress at our house.

Devin and I made a list of the girl names the we both like for the bundle in my belly. We each made a list then vetoed the ones we least liked until we came up with 10 names. then we each ranked the names 1-10 and Devin averaged the rankings to come up with our top ten and here they are first to 10th. Brooke, Lindsie, Sadie, Alex, Janey, Natalie, Kaelyn, Whitney, Hayden, and Jade. I am sure the list will change before the end of Julybut this is where we are at the moment.

Amanda got a new puppy and carter just loved it. You can't beat a boy and a little dog.

Funny Stories

Carter has discovered those little 25 cent machines at the stores. He is always asking Devin and me for a quarter whenever he spots one. The other night Carter came running into our room around 2 in the morning like he does every morning. He always runs in halfway through the night and spends the rest of the night sleeping on our floor. Anyway he had come in and fallen back asleep when he started just crying in his sleep. He started staying no momma, no thats my quarter. He was just screaming. Apparently I was trying to take a quarter away from him and he was doing everything he could do to keep it. I didn't think that I have been a mean enough mom to warrant a nightmare for him but I guess I will have to try extra hard to be nice from now on.

It's a Girl!!

Well its official Devin and I are expecting a little girl in July. We had our ultrasound yesterday and confirmed what Devin already suspected. Don't feel too upset if you didn't even know we were pregnant because not many people did. We tried to get Carter to tell us what we were having for weeks but he didn't give away any hints. If we asked him if its a girl or boy he would say boy and if we asked if it was a boy or girl he would say girl. He just said whatever we said last. Then we got an idea and asked Carter what kind of baby we were having and he said GREEN. He was no help at all. We are thrilled.....now we have to come up with a name which I'm afraid is NEVER an easy task for us. I will get a little picture of the ultrasound up as soon as I can.
