Baby Names
Taylor & I have been struggling to decide on a baby name, and could really use some extra help! I've posted a poll (same locations as the "when will baby arrive" poll) for all of you to vote on a few of the names that are currently topping our charts.
Other names we really love are:
Katelyn
Hayley or Hailey
Riley
Madison
Addison
Alexis
Leah
This list could really go on for days! :)
If you have any additional recommendations or like one of the above names, we would LOVE to hear them! Please leave us a comment on this posting (at the bottom of this post where it says "comment") with your suggestions!

Snow in Austin
It snowed in Austin last night, and we woke up to a winter wonderland! :) Y'all would have probably enjoyed seeing photos, but neither Taylor or I were venturing out into the cold this morning, so you'll just have to use your imagination to envision the beauty!
The fun part about being snowed in was that Taylor couldn't drive to work until this afternoon...the bad part was that he still had to work from home all morning, and then still drive in around 2, and work all evening. :(
The baby is doing great today, she's officially 22 weeks old and will be DOUBLING her weight in the next 4 weeks!! I'm not exactly sure where the doctor expects me to store all this new growth, I'm running out of room in my belly! I've been able to get a better nights sleep the last 2-3 nights, but Taylor says him and his daughter are up all night hanging out....I guess she's been quite lively in the wee hours while I'm asleep, and he's been thoroughly enjoying their alone time! :)
We'll take some new photos this weekend to share with all of you! xoxo

21 weeks & 5 days
This pregnancy seems to be flying by, but not without a few bumps....and naps...along the way! We've entered our 2nd half of pregnancy, a time in which most woman feel their best, and a time in which I seem to be growing the most! I'm much more tired in the last 2-3 weeks than I was in the first trimester, and it's becoming harder and harder to sleep at night. As my little girl grows, everything inside is being pushed out of her way, and is not the most comfortable feeling! The sensation of stretching is always evident, and even my feet seem to be growing!
Here's what's new with our baby girl: "At 11 inches and almost 1 pound, our baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes have formed, but her irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside the womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside her belly, her pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily."
Within the next 2 weeks, our baby will have more than a 50/50 chance of survival if born premature, and her risks will continue to decline exponentially - but we want to keep our little bun in the oven until she's ready.
We've been very busy, sick, and lazy these past 2 weeks so our supply of pictures is sparse but we'll share what we have.
