And Again....

So....I'm going to attempt the blogging thing again. How many times is this now?? I'd have to say 4 or 5, but who knows maybe this time it'll stick. :)

So let's overview what's been going on in my life for the past year. FABULOUS NEWS! We are having a baby, YAY! I'm 6 months pregnant and Matt and I are so excited to have our little one join us. We don't want to give away her name yet BUT I will give away one portion of her name. We are naming her ????? Eleanor. Eleanor was my great grandmother's middle name and is my sister's middle name. I'm really excited to pass on a family name. (If you didn't know, my first name comes from my grandmother and I love her!)

Those of you who know me know that I don't talk to my mother much. It's been an interesting road with her but that is definitely for another post. I knew Eleanor was a family name but I couldn't remember who it came from so I asked my mom where it came from. Thankfully she responded nicely and she said it was my great grandmother's name. I'm very excited about that - I still remember her. I loved going to her house when I was young and having her take me to church. I even have a picture of her and I. I was probably 4 when it was taken. I'm proud to have my baby girl named after her, she was an amazing woman and made a positive impact on my life, even the short time she was in it.

So a quick synopsis of her story....Matt and I have talked about having kids and always knew we wanted to but one day just decided to go for it. We figured it would take a few months once I went off birth control but we were lucky enough to have it all happen quickly. One month later and we were pregnant! It all happened so fast but we couldn't be more excited!

I'll do some future posts on all the crafty things we've been doing for her nursery. It has been SO much fun :)
