Baby will be named ...

Our baby girl officially has a name!
Well before I was pregnant we had decided on names. We were just so anxious.
She has always been ...

Sydney Mae Stanger

My favorite part of having her name, which we have used much more often lately, is hearing Connor say it and tell people about her, Baby Sydney.

Connor grabs Shea's face and says:
C: Sydney is playing in Mom's belly. But it's not fun. She likes water, its not water play tho.
D: Actually it kinda is.
C: No its not! Its a playground for him.
M: There is a playground in my belly for her?
C: Yep

C: "Theres a baby in there. In Mom's belly. Sydney lives in there. And swims around in her food."

I even love hearing Bella repeat as I ask her "Is Sydney in there?", and she does her best to reply "Sy-ne?"

34 weeks and 5 days

I am now 35 weeks pregnant, over 8.5 months. I am very uncomfortable and baby is SO low. I spend a lot of time sitting and resting. I feel so lazy, and yet so tired.
