What's In A Name?!

So, most of you know that I've had my children named (even when I was WAY too young to be thinking about having children!) for years now. I've always been a huge fan of using family names and I just so happen to love most of mine so I knew I would go that route...if my sweet husband approved, of course! SOOOOOOO....sweet little baby boy Stacy is going to be:

STAFFORD DAULTON STACY

What do y'all think?!! I, of course, love every single thing about this name but I'm a little biased! I've always wanted to use Stafford because my dad has 2 girls and he's the only Stafford son. We debated on whether or not to call him Ford (for short) but I think we're going to go with just Stafford. Daulton is Reed's middle name and his father's middle name...so I definitely wanted to use that as well. I cannot wait to meet our little man...only 18 more weeks to go!!

CCJ 4-Ball is Back!

Last weekend, Reed played in the annual Country Club of Jackson's 4-Ball Golf Tournament. This was his third year to play in the tournament with Sidney Allen as his partner. They did great! Basically, the guys play three rounds of golf (Friday - Sunday) and take the best shot of the partners. This is always such a fun event because it lasts the whole weekend long! Thursday night is the steak dinner for the players, Friday night is the big party for the players and their significant others and Saturday night is another dinner for the players. We always have so much fun during the 4-Ball Weekend and the pool opened up for the summer!! Below are a few pics from Friday night's party...with the Compositionz as the band!!

21 Weeks

It feels SO GOOD to be over the halfway hump! I had my 21 week doctor's appointment this morning and even though I don't have anything exciting to report - I thought I'd give y'all the stats anyway! This appointment was just a routine checkup so we didn't do a sonogram today. We discussed any issues/questions that I had at this point, listened to the baby's heartbeat (it was 150) and measured my tummy (19.5 centimeters). She said all of these measurements were right on target so that was good news!

I've slowly been getting the nursery ready and over the weekend took the next step - I delivered my fabric to the lady that's going to make his bedding! She said it would be ready in 2-3 weeks so I'm already looking forward to having it done and on the crib! I decided to go the custom route because I honestly couldn't find anything already made that I loved and that wasn't $800+. Besides, it's been really fun hunting for fabrics and putting things together!! Stay tuned for nursery pics!

The Last Teen Year

I wanted to take a quick second and wish a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to SYDNEE!! My sweet little sis turned 19 today...so crazy and for some reason that sounds so old to me! I vividly remember this day 19 years ago...she came bright and early in the morning and my 11 year-old self was sound asleep on my grandparents' laps in the hospital waiting room. Even though we have a significant age difference between us, she truly is my best friend! She is the sweetest, funniest, kindest and most awesome person that I know. I love you Sis...Happy Birthday!!

Caroline Reed is 2!!

Last Thursday, our precious niece, Caroline Reed, turned 2! She is growing up so fast and is truly the sweetest little thing ever! Below are a few pictures from her birthday dinner:

Halfway There!

Well, today marks my halfway point...I'm 20 weeks with only 20 more to go!! During this second trimester, I have felt great!! I'm slowly getting a little bit of a baby bump and I finally feel like I look like I'm pregnant versus looking like I'm in love with beer...ha! We have made great progress on the nursery...crib is up, fabric for the bedding has been ordered, changing table/dresser is in and he has a few clothes hanging in his closet. All in all, I feel like I'm in a good place with all of the "stuff." These past 20 weeks have flown by...even though it was way back in January, it seems like just yesterday that I told Reed that we were having a baby! I cannot wait to meet this little man...in 20 more weeks!

It's Here!!!

Yay! I am so excited that Baby Stacy's crib is finally here! I feel like I ordered it ages ago (I did, actually...in February) and I am super excited that it came in a few weeks early! Since I wasn't sure what we were having back in February, I decided to go with a good ole' gender-neutral ivory and I'm thrilled that I did. It is absolutely gorgeous! I ordered it from Bratt Decor (www.brattdecor.com) and I'm totally obsessed with it and them in general. We took it out of the box last night and have it ready to go for our "put-together party" tonight. We aren't really having a party for this but I say that because right now, it's me & Reed doing the assembly but it may turn into a "party" when we call (in a panic) Matt and Helen to come help us do this!! What do y'all think of it? See below!!
