Thank heaven for little...

It's been an exciting two days! The baby furniture came in this weekend, so yesterday we rented a truck from Home Depot and then headed to JCPenny's to pick it up. While we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies hauling it back home, it was totally worth it. It felt like Christmas morning unwrapping it :) It's exactly what we wanted, and we LOVE it! Kuddos to Home Depot for renting out trucks! All we need to do now is to paint and get the carpet cleaned, and then we will have all the bare bones of the room put together. We are hoping to have this done before Christmas.

Then today we had our followup visit with Dr. Weiss to complete the NT scan. During the ultrasound he showed us all of the baby's body parts and organs... saving the gender confirmation until last :) And it is officially confirmed... we are having a baby GIRL! Dr. Weiss was pleased with all the measurements and said that everything looked great! Such wonderful news! We are beyond thrilled and blessed! Below are the two pictures from the appointment. She's looking more and more like a baby!

With the excitement of now knowing for sure that she's a girl, comes the announcement of her name. And her name is: Calleigh Abrielle Cook. Calleigh was decided upon pretty quickly :) It's of Greek origin meaning "Beautiful"... which I think fits her perfectly! Her middle name was a little tougher to decide. We wanted her middle name to be something meaningful/significant to our journey of having her. Since she was the only embryo of seven to survive, we were thinking along the lines of "strong", "miracle from God", etc. And then we stumbled upon Abrielle... French for "Strong one of God". There couldn't have been any name more perfect! Our little miss Calleigh Abrielle :) I love saying it, and I absolutely cannot wait to see her little face!

Our seventeen week belly pic is a little blurry, but will have to do :) Maybe the next one will be a little better!

Thank you again to all of our wonderful family and friends for your prayers! And we especially thank heaven for our little girl :) While our journey has been long and is far from over, I wouldn't trade it for the world! Until next time...
