Her name will be Allie Jane Butler. Named after my great grandma Greer (my grandpa Gladden's mom). I fell in love with the name when I was looking through family history. Its a common name, but not too common, and I love the vintage ring to it! It was so cute- after the ultra sound, Grant said, "I don't know what to do with girls!" So I said, "The same thing as boys, just a little more gentler and more pink!" He grew up with all brothers, so this will be a fun adjustment for him! Grant's mom is soooo excited about a girl though! She has never had a baby girl, so this will be so fun for her to finally spoil a girl!
I've been in a weird mood where I want to sew and craft ALL THE THINGS (said in the "all the things" meme voice). I've gotten her letters done that will go above her crib done and today I got some fabric to start making some receiving blankets and crib sheets! It will be so fun- and will give me something to do during the hot summer! I'm so grateful I have a mom who knows how to sew- its a skill I never really thought was cool…until now; especially since there isn't always the exact pattern or color of things in the baby section at Target!
I'm wanting to do a soft, shabby chic theme for her room. The bedroom is already a lime green color, which I HATE so we are going to paint it a soft peach color! I've been pinning things on Pinterest like crazy! It will be a fun summer for sure! I love that Grant isn't super picky, because he is letting me do kind of whatever with her room (thanks babe).
As of today, I am 21 weeks and 5 days. So almost 22 weeks. I already feel uncomfortable and its hard for me to bend over to put the strap of my sandals on- so I think regular flip flops will be my best friends this summer! A few days ago, I cracked and had to turn the AC on! It was too hot for this preggo lady! I've also already began making my nest of pillows on the bed. I think I have like 5! Poor Grant has no place to sleep(oops). Only 18 more weeks! Its all down hill from now on! I want her to get here so bad, but at the same time, I'm enjoying feeling her kick and having an excuse to eat anything/everything(no joke- I ate a whole package of Oreos dipped in peanut butter to myself).
