Name Game #2

Last night, Jason was able to feel her move. After the first movement, we were so excited! Then about 30 seconds later, she gave the biggest kick I've ever felt. We were both surprised at how strong it was. It was like she was saying "Hi Mom & Dad". Very cute!

Here's this week's clue:

Baby's Middle Name ALSO has an "A" in it.

Name Game Kickoff

Jason & I had so much fun putting the list of clues together that we decided to start the Name Game today. I'll be posting a new clue every Thursday and when I go into labor, we'll post the remaining clues (if any) and a word jumble with all the letters of Baby Girl Vorhees' first & middle names.

If you'd like to guess, leave a comment at the bottom of the blog post. I will not respond to guesses until after she's born, but those who guess her name first will win a prize! There will be 3 prizes available - one for whoever guesses her first name, one for whoever guesses her middle name and one for whoever guesses both.

Here's some inspiration that may help...



Good luck!!!

Clue #1
Baby's name ends with a consonant.

Parents Weekend 2/12-16/09

Last weekend my parents came to visit. It was so much fun! I picked them up from the airport at about 1:30 on Thursday and later that afternoon we went to look at a house. Let's just say it wasn't "the one". It was in a great area in the hills above Portland and was on about 2 acres but to say it needed work would be a HUGE understatement. It didn't even have walls! It was down to the studs throughout and had plywood floors. Jason is handy, but with the new baby coming and his job getting busier and busier, we decided to pass. :)

Friday, Jason had to work but took some time off in the AM so that we could go see our baby on 3D/4D ultrasound. It was amazing to see her features in such detail and she is still ALL GIRL! J posted a video to YouTube (Scroll to about minute 3 for the 3D portion):



Friday night we went to the movies to see Paul Blart, Mall Cop. It was pretty funny but you guys can probably wait til it comes out on DVD. :)



Saturday we went to Multnomah Falls and the Columbia River. We had lunch at the Multnomah Falls Lodge & hiked a little bit. We tried to stop & take pictures at each of the falls.



Sunday the boys went out exploring & the girls went to the outlet mall & other shopping. Mom & I went to the CAbi outlet where she got some really cute stuff. I bought socks. :) Nothing fits right now so it's pretty inexpensive for me to go shopping. I did buy a cute "I love grandpa" onesie at gymboree for the little one. :)



Monday came way too soon and my parents left on an early AM flight. We had a great visit and I can't wait to see them and all my Cali friends when I'm out 3/10-22/09!

February 07, 2009

It's been a busy couple of weeks! We had some friends come visit from Cali a couple of weekends ago and this Thursday my parents arrive for a visit. The guest room is getting lots of use these days. :)

I've been keeping busy with bible study (2x/week), MOPs, and meeting up with friends for walks, coffee, etc. in between. Jason's job is still going well and he has enjoyed having weekends to putter around or watch movies in the Man Cave. He is looking forward to the Genentech golf league which should start up in May.

Thursday afternoon I'll go pick up my parents @ the airport then we are meeting J & our realtor that evening to take a look at a house. J & I are looking for a smoking deal and who knows, this might be it! We still have a lease until August, so we aren't in any hurry to buy.

Friday, we are going in for a 3D/4D ultrasound. I'll put the video on YouTube so everyone can see our little girl. :)

Saturday, we will probably head out to Cannon Beach to show my parents the beautiful Oregon Coast. I'll be sure to take lots of pics & video for everyone. :)

I'm more than halfway through my pregnancy. Our baby girl will be here in no time! Here's the latest pic taken Sunday. I'm 22 weeks, 3 days in it. :)
