For those of you who remember my first major Mom mistake, rest assured that the first picture ever of Charlotte has now been found. The public library emailed me to say that our ultrasound picture was returned. As I thought, I had left it in a book after using it as a bookmark. Never again will I make that mistake!
This was such a fun week with the arrival of John Thomas Kirkpatrick. Rachel had a crazy fast delivery. She called me at 8:30 to say she was having contractions. At 9:00 she was on her way to the hospital and by 10:40 he was here!

One thing I'm realizing about pregnancy is how great it is to get so much attention all the time. Need some help picking out a stroller? Mom is happy to help. Craving Hostess Ding Dongs? Husband will toss you one as he walks in from the grocery. Feet tired at band practice after a long day working and coaching? You get the only chair on stage. Want half of two doughnuts at your parents' house instead of just picking one? Not a problem. (That one's for you, honey:))
People at school, at church, at the store always ask how I'm feeling and how much longer I have. Some are surprised at how fast it's gone; others, at how much longer I have. To some I'm smaller than they would expect; to others, they can't believe I'm only 25 weeks. It doesn't really matter what they say, I just love talking about pregnancy and especially about Charlotte. When people ask if I'm having a boy or girl, I always throw in her name. Most seem surprised at a somewhat old-fashioned name, but they act like they love it. Whether or not they're saying that just to be nice, I don't care. I love saying her name. I fall more in love with it everyday. It really gives her an identity. I can't wait to really get to know her personality. I'm a little nervous after she kicked Andrew in the face while he was giving my belly a kiss. Uh oh! Looks like we're in for it:)

I love the name Charlotte. Its fitting for a little southern girl in the making. :-)
I love the name Charlotte too --and I'm not just saying it ;). I heard the crib was assembled, can't wait to see the finished product. Get some rest momma. P.S. Thanks for the blog plug and shout out for John Thomas.
