Summer Update

Well it's been a while. I was planning on updating this when I found out if we are having a boy or girl...and the appointment didn't go the way I had hoped. Long story short, we still don't know.

I do have an appointment this Wednesday morning. Even if no ultrasound is done, I'm excited to go in! Every little bit of Baby Creel that I can get to know is so exciting.

It's so amazing...I've reached the half-way mark: 20 weeks. I can look back and see how much God has changed me and is continuing to do so. To see how He's preparing me and that's not even mentioning my physical body! It too has changed so much and doesn't work like it used to. :)

We have kind of decided on some names. If it's a boy Matt has picked James (it was his grandfather's name). No middle name has been settled on yet. If we have a girl I've picked Lyla Elizabeth. Lyla for a couple reasons...I just like the name :) And the night we got engaged we watched the movie "August Rush". The mother character's name is Lyla. I thought that would be a cute story to tell our little girl. And Elizabeth of course is my first name.

The baby room is coming along slowly. Wallpaper has been removed and now we're fixing the hole (the previous owners strategically covered that up lol) and preparing the wall for paint! My goal is to be finished painting the room before school starts August 17th. I also would LOVE the closet to be organized so I can start washing stuff and hanging it up. We'll see. I have lots of time, but once school starts up again....the time will fly!

Well, I'm off to open another package my parents have sent us. It's full of baby stuff :) Such sweet and spoiling Grandparents this baby has already!
