We have a name!

Sean and I have decided to name our baby girl Calleigh Claire. Sean came up with the name, and it just fit. She will be named after both of our sisters. Sean's sister is Ashleigh, so the "leigh" in Calleigh's name is after her. My sister's name is Claire. I know you are thinking, "Do they know her initals will be CCC?" Yes, we know and thought about that, but love the name so much we did not care. We plan on calling her just Calleigh, but many of our friends and family are already calling her Calleigh Claire.

We had our routine doctor's visit with Dr. Alverson yesterday, and everything looks good. Her heart beat was strong at 153 BPM. I did feel her move when they were looking for the heart beat. I cannot say that I have felt a definite kick. I feel all kinds of weird feelings, but don't know if that is her or just my stomach growling. Once I get her ultra sound pictures scanned into the computer I will post them.

Other than Calleigh, we are busy with Christmas. Sean bought a huge Christmas tree this year since our new house has much taller ceilings. We are looking forward to Christmas, but sad we will not be going on a bowl game trip this year!

We plan on starting the nursery after Christmas. I will post pictures of the progress.

The Pate Twins

One of my good friends from college, Dana Pate, is pregnant with twin boys. Her husband is Rob Pate, who was a football player at Auburn for four years. Dana and Rob already have three beautiful girls, Claire, Ellie and Jenna. Dana is now pregnant with twin boys! Their names are James and John David. These twins are mono mono twins. This condition only occurs in about 1-2% of twins. Basically the boys share on of everything. Dana is now 28 weeks along, and is in the hospital so she can be monitored around the clock. She has a blog that she updates everyday. You can read it a www.patemiracles.blogspot.com Please keep Dana, Rob and their girls and the twins in your prayers. Dana and Rob are such strong Christians, and such an amazing testimony to God.
