What is in a name?

Well it's official, our baby girl has a name...a full name that is.  If you attended Jennifer's wedding then you already know this because Jeff included it in his speech.  Her full name is going to be....wait for it....drum roll please...Allie Nicole Pitta.   After much thought and many hours spent going through names (Jeff even bought a baby name app on his iphone...that's an excited daddy right there!) we decided to name her after her aunt Jennifer Nicole.  Of course we wanted a name that sounded good with Allie, but more importantly we wanted it to have meaning and we wanted her to be named after someone that she could look up to.  So there you have it, Allie Nicole Pitta, our little princess. 

I know I said I would put up pictures of the nursery and it's progress but after taking a picture of it's current state, I decided it wasn't quite ready for viewing.  So once I get it more presentable, I promise I'll post some pictures.

Last week the third trimester hit me pretty hard and I was feeling a little less than energetic and throw in some bad cases of heart burn and I just wasn't much fun to be around.  But after lots and lots of rest this weekend (big thanks to mother nature for the thunderstorms), I am happy to say that I am feeling much better today and this week is looking pretty promising.

Please keep my good friend Lisa in your prayers this week as she is expecting to deliver a beautiful baby boy, Cameron Andrew, any minute now.  At least I hope it's any minute now, the waiting is killing me.  Ok so I know it's not all about me and she's the one carrying the baby that doesn't want to come out, but I know it's killing her too :).  Lisa, we're thinking about you and Cameron and can't wait to meet the little man!

That's about all the news I have for today...and unfortunately, no pictures to share.  But I'll give you an updated belly pic later this week. The outy belly button is officially visible through clothing.  Some believe that you should put a band aid over it at this point...but my thoughts are, I'm the one carrying a child in my stomach and if it doesn't bother ME that my belly button sticks out, then it shouldn't bother anyone else either. I already have to wear pants with an elastic waste band, must I add a band aid to my everyday wardrobe too? Am I right or wrong?

Happy Monday everyone!
