Addison finally said "hi" to her daddy. We just arrived home this evening from being in Arkansas for the holidays and decided to relax and watch some tv. Addie was kicking up a storm tonight and, up until now, Shane really hadn't been able to feel it when he would put his hand on my belly. Around the third or fourth kick, Shane flinched and smiled really big. Shane was so excited to finally have felt her move.
It's such a strange feeling, Addison's movement becomes more pronounced every day. Being able to feel what's going on also helps make everything seem more real and comforting. It's an amazing feeling!

The results are in....
Shane and I had talked about baby names long before even talking about having a family. After finding out that we were pregnant, we narrowed down our favorites to 5 boy and 3 girl names. We then decided it would be unique and exciting to have our family and friends vote on their favorites of our top picks.
In October, we sent out voting slips with our top 5 boy and top 3 girl names (click on the picture below).
After a month and a half, the results are in. The doctor has confirmed that we will be having a baby girl. The name that took the lead for the girls was Addison Elizabeth Handley. We've attached a picture of the voting slip and the results slip below.

19 Weeks
Today Shane and I conquered our Christmas shopping. I've decided that there needs to be "expectant mother" parking at ALL malls and stores! Just Kidding. While we were out, we found a really cute wall hanging to put in the nursery. I'll post a picture on here within the next week.
Over the last two weeks, I've been feeling "flutters" more frequently. It seems like they happen most when there is a lot of noise going on around me. I can feel them several times in one day and then go a few days with nothing.
Despite several calls from the doctors office to reschedule, and reschedule again....we are set to find out the gender of baby minnow next week!! Originally the appointment was set for Wednesday the 16th at 10am. Then I got a call from the doctors office asking if we could move the appointment to 11:30. Of course, I accepted, even though a later appointment meant that we would have to wait longer to find out the sex. Then another call came in a few days later asking if we could move it to later in the afternoon or perhaps a later date. UGH!!! Luckily, I was able to keep the appointment for the same day, but we moved it to 3:00 Wednesday afternoon.
I'll keep everyone posted as to what we find out. Of course Shane and I will be happy no matter what the gender is!

The Nursery
We're still working on the nursery, but here are some pics of the before and after. Shane has put so much work into this little room! Shane laid the carpeting himself, assembled the furniture, hung the curtains and blinds, and he even painted the ceiling fan to match the accessories!! What a great guy!
The color is a little off in these pics and really doesn't do the blankets and curtains justice, but you get the idea....
