27 weeks and a Name!

Well, we have made it to the third trimester! I have to say, it is a milestone that I have been looking forward to for weeks! At this point, the baby's organs have formed and now we will spend the next 13 weeks fattening up (hopefully her more than me...I feel huge!)

We have done a lot of things around the house, and I will have pictures to follow once it is all complete.  The nursery is painted and the glider and changing table are here!  We ordered the crib yesterday and my mom is currently working on the curtains and dust ruffle.  I'm hoping to have all of that finished before May!

We finally broke down and had tile put in the bonus room! We use our side door far more than the front door, and it was completely carpet---not so great on rainy days!  We also bought some new furniture for the room that Justin is still putting together---so again---pictures to come later!

Lastly, we are getting new doors! You know you are getting older when you get excited about these sorts of things! They are coming to install these next week!

But the most important thing that has happened over the last week or so is we finally picked a name.  We had gone back and forth with the same two for about a month and decided it was time to commit! It is really hard finding a name that you both like--especially since we wanted to use family names.  We had thought about having just one name from the family but the more we talked about it, the more I wanted both names to have family meaning.

Some of the good names in our family were already taken...and others just need to be retired!  So we spent a lot of time researching names that maybe we had not known about.  Turns out we didn't need to go any further than our grandmothers.  My granny's maiden name is Anne Brownrigg Lee and Justin's grandma's maiden name is Elsie Fae Tyndall.  So the baby's name will be...

Annalee Tyndall Hill

We are thrilled to finally have a name!  So many of my friends threw us a baby shower over the weekend, and like everything else---pictures to come!
