Operation Nursery: COMPLETE!

First of all, we've decided on a name for our sweet baby girl. Her name will be Remi Caroline Partin. We're in love with the name and can't wait to meet our Baby Remi :)

Remi is the name that we've always loved and chose years ago. Caroline is a "family" name...named after both her Granny (Krista's mom) and her Grandma (Randy's mom) who are both named Carol. Also, Randy's maternal Grandmother and Aunt Peggy were Caroline's as well.

Secondly, after weeks of Randy's hard work on Remi's nursery...it's finally complete. Randy worked long days and nights to get it done and I must say...it looks amazing and we are both so pleased with the final result!!! :) We started the nursery before we knew we were expecting a baby girl, so we were going with a neutral theme. We both loved the theme so much that we left it as we had planned, yellow & green. A ton of pink is sure to come with blankets and clothes I'm sure.

Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Frank (Randy's mom & stepdad) for the beautiful nursery furniture. And thanks to Granny and D-daddy (Krista's parents) for the beautiful nursery bedding set.

Here's a look at the finished product...

The ULTIMATE Christmas Gift

Ladies and gentlemen...It's a GIRL!

After waiting with anticipation, we had an ultrasound yesterday as a gift from my sister and found out that we have a beautiful baby girl!!

She's just perfect!

She was moving around yesterday for the big event. We think she was a little excited for the big photo shoot :)

Randy was in shock at first, but mom had a hunch all along!!! We are both just tickled pink!!

Sorry...no photos to post right now. But once I get back home to MI, I'll post some...I promise! Just wanted to share the most wonderful Christmas gift of all...ever!

It's a girl!!!!!!

It's a....

Sorry folks, it's going to be a surprise! The doc didn't take the bribe, and we're getting pretty used to green and yellow, or as Randy likes to refer to it..."sage". We're just fine with the facts...it's meant to be a surprise! Plus, we'll be on the edge of our seats for the big day when the doctor says... "It's a XXXXX!"

I had my 20 week appt. today and baby is healthy and doing great. Heartbeat today = 152 beats per minute. Just perfect!

I had to do my first sugar test today to test for gestational diabetes. We should know the results in one week and whether or not I'll have to do further testing. Hopefully, all is well.

The baby furniture has arrived and Randy is busy getting the nursery under way. Once it's all done, we'll post pics for all to see. Buck has been checking out the stuffed animals already in the nursery. He's confused why these aren't downstairs in his toy basket. He's in for a rude awakening once the baby arrives, but we also have a lot of love for this big brown baby of ours!!! :)

We registered at Babies R Us on Saturday and after 4 hours...the registry is now complete. WOW! What an undertaking!!! We were overwhelmed to say the least, but are happy to have that taken care of.

We're traveling to Alabama on Christmas Day to spend a little time with my family, so we are looking forward to that.

I remember when 20 weeks seemed so far away, but now it's here and we're on the downhill slope from here on out. It's all starting to feel real and we couldn't be happier!!! This lil' baby has so much love already, we can't wait until he/she arrives :)

Sorry for the lack of photos...I look the same so just try to picture that ;)
