Song Lyric of the Day:
A moment, a love / A dream aloud / A kiss, a cry / Our rights, our wrongs / A moment, a love / A dream aloud
Temper Trap / “Sweet Disposition“
As the 19 of you who bother reading my blog (thanks! and see what I did? I added one) know, Rich and I are expecting a baby girl late this summer. We’ve been calling her Bundle almost from the get-go. We couldn’t quite agree on names (see that last link) and had to call her something. So Bundle it was.
Finally, last Sunday, as we crawled around our A-frame removing staples from the finished hardwood floor, we decided on her name: Coraline Olivia. (We’re already calling her Cora.) Of all the names we’d bandied about, it was the one it turns out we both kept coming back to. And the next day, after work, we had our 3-D ultrasound and got to see her face for the first time:
Playing “Where’s the Baby”
Practicing making the “loser” sign while also showing her love for Glee
Still playing “Where’s the Baby”
Throwing down some baby gang signs
“Alright, Mr. Demille, I”m ready for my closeup.“
And waving goodbye when she’d had enough
We were thrilled to see her waving around and opening and closing her mouth. I laughed at how her nose looks like Rich’s, although it looks like she needs to grow into it. We both laughed when I asked the technician to zoom in on Cora’s little feet only to see Cora reach down and grab her foot as if she were showing off. And we are now even more in love with this little girl, who we cannot wait to meet.
What a beautiful little girl! I can't wait to meet Miss Cora! BIG congrats!
Love the name!!!!
Awww, I liked "Bundle." I'm still calling her Bundle.
How exciting! What a glorious event you all will experience soon! God Bless you and what a great name!!
