Here are some pictures of my baby shower back on Sept. 21st. Most of the gifts were just clothes but I did get a diaper genie and a bottle warmer. Here are a few pictures of some of my favorites. I will post a few more later.

I absolutely LOVE the ruffles on the bum!!

Shana's mom made this! Love it! They also gave me some really cute clothes too.

When I showed Matt these, he busted out laughing. I thought it was really cute!

Another home made blanket from my friend Jennifer. The back is a light yellow.

Some other news. I am currently treating an Oral Thresh (a yeast infection in my mouth). It's not been a fun week but it is slowly getting better. The doctor I saw just said to eat yogurt and if it didn't seem to help then he would prescribe me a mouth wash.

I spoke with Matt the other night and I have some good news. He has confirmed that he WILL be home before Christmas. I'm not going to say the date but if you want to know, just ask Nancy. I was able to tell her in "code" (for security reasons) the actual date. He has also decided that we won't be taking any leave time until we have the baby. He wants to be able to let me recover and to be able to bond with his new daughter. We are still not sure if we will be able to come home this spring or not but we will keep you up dated on that.

Not much else is new. Just trying to enjoy every day but it is starting to get a little more uncomfortable and harder to get off my couches. :) Her kicks are starting to get stronger but I have yet to actually feel her kick my hand. She is really active though. Kinda fun actually. I can't really describe how it feels. Bubbles comes to mind.

OH OH!! We've decided on a name. We will be naming her Sarah Mackenzi. Sarah is Hebrew for "Princess" and Mackenzi is Irish for "child of the wise leader". We are excited!!
