Today was the big day and we couldn’t be happier. People kept asking what we were hoping for and honestly, all we could think about was hearing we had a healthy, growing baby. This has quite possibly been the longest twenty weeks of my life – I wasn’t nearly as nervous carrying Ella as I have been with this little one.
This pregnancy has been pretty similar to Ella’s, with one major difference… movement. This baby moves so much more than Ella ever did. So much so, that the ultrasonographer had quite the time tracking her little fanny down! Once we saw it, though, there was no question as to who she was going to be.
Josh picked out the name Sophie – it was first on his list. I had a few girl names that I liked, but whenever I pictured another little girl, I couldn’t get Sophie out of my head. We were trying to pick names with some familial significance since Ella was named after Josh’s grandmother. He decided that he wanted to name her Sophie K, after my sister, since we call her “K”. I couldn’t get over having an initial as a middle name, so we opted for Kae instead. Since it was so traditional, I wanted the spelling to be a little different. It’s funny because Ella has told everyone today that she picked out the name.
If you haven’t already… scroll on down for this week’s baby belly installation! I’m guessing Kamin posts good ones this week instead of outtakes.
**Updated to say: The Little Princess Diaries is here to stay. As much as we would have enjoyed a baby boy, I am thrilled not to be brainstorming new blog names and ideas! Josh had already nixed all the pink. There will be no name change, but I’m guessing a new silhouette will be joining Ella’s once that is possible.**
