And crazy enough, I am also getting bigger...If I think about how much weight I have gained, it kind of makes me sick...But I am reminded every day by friends and my mom that it doesn't matter?....This week's pic should be interesting....Here's a pic from last week
So, as many of you have probably heard....It's a girl!!!!! We are so excited to welcome Addyson Faith to the world.....Picking her name was also a fun challenge...We have always liked Addyson for a girl's name...even before we got married, we picked out Addyson for a girl and Asher for a boy....Now, the middle name was more of a challenge...My dearest best friend Autumn's middle name is Faith, and growing up I always wanted to name my little girl after Autumn....Autumn is the kind of person you just want to be like....She's dependable, funny, down to earth, and loves the Lord...and as we prayed and sought the Lord about what we should name our gift from heaven, it was so clear to me that Addyson Faith, or Addy Faith, would be the perfect name. Addyson or Addy means Noble and Kind.....and as my dear friend Cherie stated, "Ron is one of the most noble men I know and Jenny you are one of the kindest people I know...."
It just seemed to make sense...and knowing that I would love Addyson to be like Autumn, it only made sense that her name should be Addyson Faith....The spellling, well that was more of a challenge..Addison simply means "Son of Adam" and I made Ron decided how we were going to spell her name....I finally made him make a decision, and by somewhat Random of a selection haha, we chose Addyson.....I love that with that Y in there, you get the Noble and Kind meaning to her name....Couldn't be more perfect...
As the weeks go on, it seems like this pregnancy is flying by....and everyday it seems like my mom makes Addyson something else....or me something else....Some of my favorite things she's made have been these items....
An adorable shirt she made..... |
Another Fun Top |
It's so fun having a wonderful mom who not only sews, but also embroders, and decorates....Addy is going to be one blessed girl......
When we found out we were having a girl both Ron and I were a little shocked....Ron's first comment was, "Well, I guess I finally have to buy a gun...." Although it was a shock...I realized that Addy is going to have an amazing father who loves her and takes care of her....and it's also gonna teach us a thing or two about compassion......I still it sometimes crazy to think we are having a girl....But now I am totally in love with the idea....
My sweet Addyson Faith |
