Where have I gone... Oh and we picked a name :)

Can anyone say "LOST". Man the excuses this year for my bad blogging habits just keep adding up don't they? I am making a promise to myself to be better. If nothing else I will be better for our sweet new little bundle that will be joining us this coming year. :)
I'm just going to jump right into our sweet baby girl's precious name. We have chosen a name and there is no turning back now. Well not now that I went into freaking pottery barn and spent over $100.00 on some adorable little vintage wooden plaques to go in her room. One of which just so happens to be personalized with her beautiful little name plastered across the front of it in big bold letters :)
I will post a picture of all the signs as soon as we get them all in the mail. I had to special order two of them.

Ok, ok, I get it. You want to know the name. FINE, OK, I'm getting to it.. Just hold on now and be patient.

The name is.......

BLAKELY ANN

or as we have been calling her the past few weeks "Blakey bug".

Now I know not everyone is a fan of the name Blakely, but the hubs and I just love it. Ann is my mom and Julian's nana's middle names. Also its a saints name. These are the reasons for the Ann being in the middle name.

Its made everything so much more real. We can't wait to welcome our sweet little bundle into our lives forever. She's already a part of us and we are awaiting her arrival eagerly (but not too eagerly considering the lack of sleep and exhaustion).
Last week we finally moved a ginormous desk from the guest room which is now Blake's room. We still have to paint and do some major changes but the baby planning has already started. I have made her room perfectly mapped out in my head down to the tiny little details and touches that will make it special and her own. I'm so excited to start working on it.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant today, doing well and trying to keep up with my little monster and all this holiday fun that is going on.
We had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by loved ones and friends. I will share lots of pictures this weekend of our past few weeks.

Until then, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
