The Hunt For The Perfect Name

What a big decision!! This is proving to be a TON harder than I ever thought it would be!  Of course I have my favorites and names that I wanted to name my future children since before I was even married, but it's a lot harder when you are not the only one naming the little guy!  Tadd has not been a fan of any of the names I have liked and I have not liked any of his!  I used to think that no matter what my future husband said-- I would name my kids the names I wanted... well seeing as how I have a soft spot for the man and that man is also stubborn... I'm in trouble! I am more into both of us loving the perfect name!  Oh I just know I am in for it!  Since that probably will not happen... one of us might have to cave.  Wow this has been occupying my mind since the min the doc said, "It's a boy!"  I am bound and determined to give my little stud the most perfect name and I know that it's out there.. Just wish it would come to me sooner than later! 

However...... Can't wait to meet the little guy- It's going to be the sweetest time of my life!  Here are my very first purchases for him! LOVE HIM!

IT'S A BOY !!!



Yes that's right it's a boy for the Atchley house hold!  Friday March 25, 2011 I had a doctor's apt. at 11.  I was nervous but mostly just nervous to make sure the baby was healthy and growing strong!  We get there and I go back to the room and get Tadd on the phone since he couldn't be there because of work in Montana.  Fully expecting the lady to say it was a girl... I was completely surprised when she said, "IT'S A BOY!"  I paused for a second and said somewhat surprised-- It's a boy!! Tadd was surprised to! It was very funny! The ultra sound took twice as long as it should have because the little dude would not hold still!  The poor ultra sound lady was having a heck of a time taking the pictures and checking everything because once she'd get him where he needed to be he'd turn and kick and roll! It was so funny and so cute!  Everything was great and he was healthy and growing perfect just like I was hoping and praying for! 
It was amazing how my mind switched from girl to boy.  He is already spoiled and so so so loved! We can't wait for him to get here and change are lives for the better!  I am hoping he looks just like his daddy! I already think he's pretty cute!

What was that?!?

For two weeks I've been feeling this little little baby kicking and moving around! The first time was last week when i was sitting watching t.v and my tummy kept "twitching" The first day was just really light and really just felt like twitches but as the days progressed they got more and more profound. I feel the little one all day but now every night when i am calming down for the night the little one wants attention!  It's amazing!  It wasn't as weird as i thought it would be!  It's so wonderful and i love feeling it!
Tadd's been in Montana for a little bit and so i have had lots and lots of time to myself.  For the two years that we have been married we have been using the "baby" room as a storage room.  So much more convenient than taking all the stuff downstairs- well it was time to clean it out! I didn't realize how much stuff we had accumulated (well how much Tadd had- Hunting, fishing, books etc.)  So i started Saturday morning and it took me 4 hours to get it all out and organized and downstairs! Wow i was tired but it looks great now! The crib and changing table is all cleaned and disinfected and I cant wait to find out what the little one is so that i can start buying stuff to decorate and fill it up!  March 25th is the day and Tadd and I are very excited!  I'll keep you all posted when we find out!!!
