Alicia at 31 weeks

It's Nursery Time

Last summer we painted our office dark purple, little did we know that just a year later we would be prepping the room for our little girl. Although my decorating ability is limited, I have convinced Brett that the room would look amazing with three different wall colors. All light colors -we will post pics shortly - as soon as Brett can complete the two coats of primer needed to cover up the purple. Another reason why I love him so and why he will make a great daddy. Dependable and hard working :)

Auburn Mountainview High School Baby Shower !

Well, it is about that time and today I was given a shower by my closest teacher friend Stephanie (english). This is technically the second shower I have been given. The first was a surprise thrown by my JV fastpitch team, I was totally shocked and so touched. Lots of clothes for Ayla at that one, what else would 15 and 16 year old girls want to buy but cute little girl baby clothes.












We currently have 6 pregnant teachers at AMHS. Eva (spanish teacher) is my fellow mommy to be in this picture. Her little one is due August 28th. We will see who comes first...

Okay, okay...enough already! Her name is...

Ayla Christina Thompson

The etymology of Ayla is Hebrew and means something like oak tree, but we just saw the name in a baby name book and fell in love with it. Christina is obviously because of Alicia's sister. Do I need to explain Thompson? Now we can stop calling her "baby" and "she" and start calling her by her name. By the way, it's a long A like Kayla without the K.

Here she is at 28 weeks...

To the left is her profile. She's facing left. She's starting to look more human now!

On the right is a frontal face view. Did I say she was looking more human? Ultrasounds are so weird, yet so amazing!
