So we have held out on telling the world her name, but I feel it is time since so many people have asked and I am tired of keeping it a secret! Wes and I had a very hard time with girls names in the beginning because we really couldn't agree on anything. It was Valentine's Day (also the anniversary of when he asked me to marry him) and we were watching TV while I shouted out names to him from a baby name book and online. Most of them made us laugh, until I shouted out Bailey. We both were like "Hey, I really like that one!" And Wes pretty much said it was settled, her name would be Bailey if it was a girl (this was before we knew the gender). So Bailey isn't a family name or anything, just a name from a book that we both really liked. I told him we should keep looking but every time I said a name he would, "Nope, her name is Bailey." So now instead of calling her baby we can call her Bailey :).
As for the letters, I bought plain wood letters at the craft store, along with the paint. I figured it would be a quick easy job. Well, that quick easy job turned into about a 5 hour job that left my shoulders so tight! I am pretty impressed with how they turned out, seeing how I don't have much creativity in me. I definitely didn't get my mom's gene with that one. Wes put the letters on the back side of the crib for the effect, but we are going to put them up on the wall above her crib.
I am now in the process of making closet dividers to sort the different baby clothe sizes, I will post those one they are finished. I also went to the store today to buy yarn and a crocheting needle to make a baby blanket. I know how to make a simple blanket but have been watching You Tube videos to help give me different pattern ideas. I have never actually finished a blanket, so lets hope I can get this one finished before she is 16.
I have always liked Bailey for a girl, can't wait for her to get here!! So glad you have a blog, keeps family that are so far away updated!! I had a kidney stone ONCE and that will do me for the rest of my life. Hope you feel better soon. Make sure Wes puts pics on here as soon as you have the baby!! Love Aunt Tami
