The Secret Garden

My mom is so amazing. She painted this great scene all around Allison's room. It is so fun and pretty. She was so excited to help get everything ready before Alli was born and has been such a wonderful Grandma since. Love you.

so adorable

Here are a few more pictures. I can't believe she is almost one month!

Allison is here!

She was born at 8:10 am. She weighs 8 lbs and 9 oz. She looks like her mom and is as pretty as ever.

TWO WEEKS!!

We are so excited to meet this little girl. I am due two weeks from today. We have our next doctors appointment tomorrow. We can't wait to hold her and give her kisses!

I've been getting in trouble lately for having not posted any pictures of my belly, so here you go.

This was taken over the July 4th weekend.

And this was taken on July 26th at my baby shower.
So there you have it. All I can say is yikes and when can I start to workout? Thank you to everyone that helped give me a great baby shower and thanks to all those who came. It was so fun to see all of you.

I'll take your challenge

I am responding to Dave's challenge. The doctor said the way I am measuring the baby might be on the larger side. So my guess is she will be born the 10th-12th, weighing 7lbs 8oz, and 22 inches. I am aiming lower than Dave mostly out of pure hope. I hope she is even smaller...6lbs would suit me just fine. Any other guesses?

p.s. you can choose the same day that other people have guessed

Prediction Time!

I have challenged Melanie to guess when Allison will be born and her measurements. My prediction is she will be born between August 4th and August 10th and be 23.5 inches and 8 lbs. and 10 ounces. We invite all to give your predictions.

It has been decided...

Baby Allison is on her way. I have been so indecisive about choosing a name. When it came to girls names there weren't any that I totally loved. But this entire time Dave has LOVED Allison. So finally for Father's Day I gave him his gift; I committed to the name he loves so much. I think it is a pretty name and it is classic. Now we just have to hope that the doctor was correct in saying we are having a girl. If not, well, we have a much easier time deciding on boy names.

Golf

The weather is so nice today. It is a great golf day. It is 75 degrees with only a slight wind...Perfect. Dave and I really like to golf. Although my love cannot compare to the amount of love that Dave has for the game. I feel bad but I probably will not be a great golf partner this summer. Our sweet baby is due in August and I am already not liking the heat.

Here is a picture at one of our favorite courses. It is called Millsite in Ferron, UT. Ferron is not far from Dave's family "cabin" in Emery. We golf there when we stay down at the house.

New Names

Okay, our name choices have changed. So now we need everyone to vote again. I can't believe what a hard time we are having choosing a name. There are just sooo many names!

We are in the 26th week and are getting very excited but it is taking forever...

Also feel free to let us know which spellings you like for the names.

We have just a handful of names we like. It is so tough to choose. We are open to suggestions. So if there is another name you like let us know. We are getting so excited!
