6 Months

Everyone says they feel great in their 2nd trimester, but I don't start feeling great until my 3rd!!! I have kicked the morning sickness and extreme fatigue good-bye and have now hit the nesting phase! I just finished painting my boys room, going through all their toys, and rearranged their furniture. Then I started re-painting my foyer with my good friend, Karen....I owe her a life debt for that! It is soooo much better than the orange my painter messed up with (that'll be another post in itsself)! I still have a huge list of things to do, but feel great and am up to the task!

My belly has finally passed up the boobs! It sticks out about 1/4 of an inch more, so I am counting down to the final days of being able to see my feet! I am already having complications bending over without turning red faced in the process. My kids say "Wow! The baby is getting BIG!" So there you go folks, from the mouth of babes there is truth! I am getting BIG!

Only about 13 weeks left! YAY! We have FINALLY decided...ok I have to say the truth behind it all, my hubby has FINALLY decided that he is ok with the name the kids and I LOVE for this little gal! It will be Elayna Margaret and we will call her Laney. It's so cute to hear all the kids say her name as they talk about her and pat my ever growing belly. Heath says it with a "W" instead of an "L"...it's so cute!

The problem we are having is figuring out how to spell L-a-n-e-y. My husband likes the way I have just spelled it and I like L-a-y-n-e-y because it goes more with the spelling of her actual name, but I want to see what most people think when they look at the spellings, so go let your voice be heard on our little poll on the top right of the page!

You know which one I like, but it's precious no matter. :) You look FABULOUS, by the way. Who took the picture...Karen?

Rebekah said...

Wow. Congratulations on making past the not so fun part of Pregnancy. :] The picture is gorgeous and i'm so excited to see your new precious one. With you and Tyson, she's bound to be gorgeous like the rest of your children.

btw:
Coming from a kid who had a hard time getting my name spelled right, I vote Laney. It'll be said as it sounds AND she won't have too hard a time spelling it. :]

You are adorable! I love her name and I voted for my favorite above. I had a great friend in highschool and her name was Layne... we always added a syllable (who knows why, we were teenagers and goofy) and called her Laynie.

Sara said...

I voted for Laney. Otherwise, she'll be spelling it her whole life. I love that her middle name is going to be after your mom.

Lisha said...

Great post, though I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. I love the name, way to go, Tyson, on agreeing!!!

Julie said...

You look gorgeous! Love the name! I voted! :)

You look lovely, as always, Sharon. Layney and Laney look like they should have different pronunciations. Which do you want, then I think that would determine the spelling you choose. I would go with the spelling that mimics her given name. That makes great sense to me! (But who really cares what I think? Whatever you decide will be perfect for her!)

You look great. By this time I'm always a house! I think Laney is very cute! I'm just not an extra "y" thrown in there kind of person.

Sarah (and a few others) said...

Yeah for Sharon!! I'm glad you got rid of the orange disaster- right now I have a red disaster of my own. You know you're not supposed to look that good in your third trimester. you'll make the rest of us feel bad :(

I like Layney.

Well coming from somebody with the last name Haynie I think for the ease of it all that Laney would be best because that is how everyone will want to spell it.

Anyway you spell it it's an adorable name. I know, that's not helpful.:)

Amy said...
