So many updates!!!

I've fallen behind on updating the site for the last week, so boy do I ever have pictures for y'all!

Let's just start this post with some very exciting news....Taylor & I have finally chosen a name for our daughter! Drum roll please........


CAMRYN REESE HAWES

Thank you all for voting, and allowing us to harass you for the last few months, your opinions matter so much to us and we really wanted to give this sweet little girl the BEST name possible! We couldn't be happier with our decision, and we think Camryn will be happy with it as well. :)
 
 So what else is new? We have officially made it to 6 months, a huge milestone in the pregnancy world because our baby is now considered "viable" and has a greater than 50% chance of survival if I go into pre-term labor. Her lungs have developed, and over the next few weeks she will practice breathing motions. Our next big accomplishment will be making it to 28 weeks, the start of our 3rd trimester. Taylor & I have registered for our Lamaze class, our parenting class (newborn care, etc.), and our breastfeeding class....all of these REALLY excite Taylor, especially the breastfeeding class, as I'm sure you guessed! 

Camryn has already become quite the spoiled lil' princess, and received a number of very exciting gifts this week. Of course, I took pictures for everyone!!!

Gifts from her Aunt Teresa & Uncle Heath:

sweet little night gowns


this ones my absolute favorite!!!

and look at the litte footprints on the bum <3

Gifts from Nana & Papa Hawes:

adorable pink dress

tutu onsie


cutest little summer outfit - I'll have to find her sunglasses!


Taylor's bear and dog from when he was a baby, how sweet that he'll be able to share these with his daughter! :)


Gift from Grandma Kern:
I can't wait to have her first photos to fill this with!

Our neighbors Jessica & Randy are such wonderful friends of ours, and FAR exceeded any expectations we could have ever had, and gifted us these fantastic items:

Pink bath for our little stinker


WOW!!!

So smart - a toy leash!


The bottom of these ducks turn red if the water is too hot

a girl can never have too many shoes, or socks that look like shoes! :)

so stinkin cute & little!



the spoons turn white if the food is too hot. genius!

pink sparkly organizers for her growing clothing collection

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We couldn't have ever anticipated the enormous amount of things a baby needs, and having all of you send us such gracious gifts has been such a big help, we really appreciate them all and are tickled every time we get something for Camryn! 
 
Taylor & I have added a few things to the nursery as well:
flower hangers for receiving blankets

the blankies hanging


a little headband

book of ultrasound photos

a custom book to fill with her first photos


Last but not least, belly pictures!
