Yes I know- baby updates already?! But seriously...
GEAR
Forgot to add that we went to Babies R Us after the ultrasound to trade in a few items for new ones. We traded in our Evenflo strollers (2 a single and double) and car seat, and a Graco car seat that were about 5 or 6 years old now. Such a relief to get rid of stuff for a change. Although we didn't get a huge deal on the new gear we got we did get 25% of each of these items.
Graco lightweight stroller black/green
And Graco play yard with changing station and napper blue/gray
Planning to have her in the room with us during the first few months both the napper and changing station will come in handy.
And yes we did get these exact colors on purpose. We do plan on having one more kiddo after this one (not exactly RIGHT after this one, if I can help it) so we wanted more gender neutral colors. Although Chrispy kept looking at the girl ones. *Hee hee hee* How cute is he? We also plan on getting the car seat to match the lightweight stroller this weekend.
BABY NAMES
I've gone through pretty much all the girl names on babynamesworld.com (excluding 'c' and 'k' names cuz we have enough of those around with Christopher, Christian, Chloe {the dog}, and cousins and uncles with Christopher and Kaleb) and wrote them down and gave Chrispy the list to scratch out the ones he didn't like. Here is the list:
Alissa/Alyssa
Fae
Janae
Janessa
Luna
Ruanna
Selena/Selene
Tasia
Willow
Janae, Janessa, Selena and Selene were more or less thrown in as a joke or because I just liked the name but Chris isn't counting them out. The middle names are still Marabeth, Beth and Fae.
KICK/PUNCH
Chrispy and I felt the baby kick for the first time last night! Like literally with our hands! When I felt it the first time Chrispy asked me if I was okay cuz I gasped loudly. Probably thought she kicked too hard or I pulled a muscle. Hahaha! But no, she kicked or punched hard enough that I could feel it with my hands! When we went to bed I had Chrispy put his hand on my lower belly, had to jostle her a bit but she kicked for him too! Now this doesn't mean you can go putting your hands on me to feel her kick, she's too low for me or you too feel comfy with that. :)

I kind of like Janae myself - we don't have any "J" names yet so that would help Gma keep some of the names straight :-). I also like Alissa but it might get shortened to Ali (which is very close to Ellie and, once again, Gma will get confused).
