26 wks

Finally, some updated posts. The first 2 pics in this one are belly pics at 26 wks. First time I saw the pics, I couldn't believe the belly myself. No wonder I feel the way I do: stretched, like I've got a basketball attached to me.

Notice Shawn's beautiful mask hovering behind me. It almost looks like a drawing on the wall, but it is a mask made of bailing wire.

Next two pics are from our quick trip to buy fresh roasted green chilies in NM. One with the beaming grandmommy, aka 'Noe Noe', named by her first grandbaby. The second with the beaming grandparents 'Noe Noe' and 'Pa Pa' (also named by Izi), proud daddy, and me who they made turn sideways. This was at Lujan Farms in the Rio Grande valley near Las Cruces, NM.

I think it's time we can share the name with you. I really don't know why I didn't last time. Guess I just wanted to make sure. But, we have definitely decided. Our baby girl's name will be Ashlyn Tempest Brown.

These are 24 wks. Our first "child" bathing herself. She still has no idea what she's in for. Next we have a close up of the belly at 24 wks. Then a couple of picks with the daddy and one more with kitty. I actually made that dress I'm wearing. Very comfy for the summer. Guess the 'nesting' instinct is developing. I think the dress actually makes me look a bit bigger.
