Laney Jolene Stinson

Welcome to the world my beautiful baby girl! Born January 3rd, 2010 at 1:05 p.m. Weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz and 19.5 inches long.

40 days and 40 nights

Today marks the count down to just 40 days before January 10th arrives! Only the Lord knows if we will make it to that day or go behond that day! Prayers that she keeps growing and will arrive safely. Next and probably last sonogram is set for December 15th along with that will be my next doctor's appointment. I am excited to see her again and to see how big she is and make sure everything is good. Sleeping is getting harder at night. I'm hoping to buy some new pillows to take some of the pressure off. My heartburn is pretty bad this time, I eat tums every night sometimes all night. Between heartburn and the restroom, I don't get too much sleep. She's quite a mover and has gotten the hiccups more and more lately, she has them right now infact. We already love you so much Laney bug and can't wait to meet you!!!

Pictures from Laney's 4D ultrasound! She was such a good baby, the tech said she was the best she had seen all day. Plenty of fluid and she was giving such good smiles! Double checked she's definitely a girl! Julie and Ronnie loved seeing her on the big screen. Cody fell asleep on the way there and woke up right after it was over. : ( But we have pictures and a dvd set to music.

Just trying to get ready for her arrival in the coming weeks along with the holidays!

Rennovating the house!

It looks like from pictures that we helped alot but really Daddy did everything! He's such a hard worker for our family. I have newly painted walls and laminate flooring just about done! It's so much cleaner than carpet, I love it already! Thanks Daddy for installing it! We love you!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.............

............. and the baby's name is ..................... Laney Rae ......... for now anyway : )

Now I just need to design, rather have my mom, design something cute with her name for my blog.

93 days to go! Daddy is going to install laminate flooring in the living and dining room this next weekend for our baby girl. I should take pictures of that! We also got a new (to us) table and six chairs with two leafs last night! The Lord has been blessing our company, what an awesome thing it is to trust the Lord your God with all your heart, and he will bring you the desires of your heart!

It's a GIRL!

August 21st is the day we took all three of the children to the sonogram. Julie and Ronnie understood the most from the sonogram. Cody sat on Daddy's lap most of the time and said Baby a lot. Julie was so excited when the sonogram tech told us it was a baby girl, 99% sure. She asked what her name is going to be and Ronnie piped in with his favorite pick, Abby. She said what is her middle name, in which he replied, "Cadabby". She's a character on Sesame street.

We have not decided on a name as of yet. Lots of choices, but we do know that we want her to have a name that ends in IE or Y.
