What's in a name

Well folks our baby girl has a name. Which has made this whole experience even more real. She no longer has to go by baby, or baby girl. She actually has a name! Macy Nicole Herring
Macy: Which means Enduring. And after enduring 3 years of infertility and coming out with the best outcome,it just fit. PLUS I just love it.
Nicole: This was an easy one. It's my middle name. And it also means victory of the people. And beating infertlity is an amazing victory for a couple.
Herring: Well because I could not think of any other last name I would want to give my girl =)

It's a......

Well folks... We are having a GIRL! I still can't believe it, I mean I would not have cared in the least if it would have been a boy. But I am over the moon to have a daughter. We found out on Tuesday June 28. Since I work at an ObGyn clinic, ultrasounds are pretty much at my disposal. Our "official" appt is still not until this coming Friday (7/16) But I just couldnt stand it any longer. So I had our tech scan me and not tell me what it was. She wrote it down on a piece of paper and sealed it in a envelope. On my lunch break I took my little note to Dillards and picked out 2 lovies, a pink one and a blue one. I took them to the lady behind the counter and had to explain why I was there and that I didnt know what we were having and that I wanted her to open up my envelope and without showing me to bag up which ever one it said. She laughed, bagged it up, I and was on my way.

THEN I took my Dillards bag down to Hallmark and picked out a little bag and some pink and blue paper and then explained to the lady behind the counter there what I was trying to do and asked her if she could please wrap my present without showing me what was inside. She too laughed, made me turn around, bagged my gift, i paid and left.
I honestly had to put the gift bag in the back of my car because I was afraid I would open it with out Jeff.Once I got home we went to dinner and opened our present. When Jeff pulled out the little pink lovie out of the bag I was in complete shock to say the least! I would have bet money he was going to pull out blue. I felt like I was trying to scarf down my food (as best I can these days) to get out of there and call my family. =)Everyone was just as excited as we were and no one could believe it either. With Jeff being the last Herring, I know his parents we thinking blue! Hopefully next time.
And as if my night could not get any sweeter, once I finally calmed down enough to go to bed. I was laying there watching TV and sure enough my baby girl started kicking . It was the 1st time I felt her move and it could not have happened on a more perfect day.

Here's my GIRL!

I DISLIKE my computer ALOT

I am sorry I am still behind on ALL of my post right now. I have been trying to get everything up to date yet I guess since my computer is still acting all crazy blogger will not let me upload ANY pictures and the 2 that it did let me upload it will not let me move anything around. Hopefully 1 day I can get caught up. =(

Camryn's 1st Birthday Party

I am still having issues with my computer which is why I am WAY behind on all my posts. I promise one day I will get all caught up. Figures that this would happen when I finally get pregnant! This particular post is almost a month late. =( Auntie M is sorry Camryn.

On June 18 my niece Camryn LeAnn turned a whole 1 year old. I still can't believe that an enire year has passes by since she joined our family. She is such a sweet baby girl and I cant wait to watch her grow up.
We celebrated her birthday with a family cookout and swim party. The kids had a blast, and the adults had a pretty good time too. As you can tell from all the pictures below.

Birthday Girl!

Please bare with me. We have been having some computer issues and I am not able to load any new pictures from my camera on here. I have some exciting new to tell everyone. SO please make sure you come back. I am going to try and have my posts upto date come this weekend. However, we shall see! =)

16 weeks

Sorry for the lack of blogging and the lack of pictures with this post.I am 16 weeks pregnant today. And so far so good. I have not had any morning sickness AT ALL. I know yay for me right! I have had only a couple of days of alittle nausea but nothing really that a couple of crackers and a ginger ale could cure. But to be honest I have not even had these symptoms in weeks. SO I am pretty sure I am out of the woods with that stuff. I am alittle more tired the past few days than I have been but that is just part of the territory. And Im sure it will pass soon. Stay tuned I have pictures coming soon!

Happy Anniversary

I can't believe that 4 years ago today I married the love of my life, my partner in crime and my best friend.

Happy Anniversary Babe, I love you!

12 weeks

I had my 12 week appointment yesterday and yes we had another ultrasound. =) I am not "supposed" to have another ultrasound until out anatomy/gender scan which is in about 9 weeks. But being a nurse in an ObGyn clinic has its perks. =) Yesterday's scan was alot of fun because we could really tell how big the baby is getting and we were able to watch her/him move all around. That part is still really weird to me knowing and seeing something wiggle all around inside yet not be able to feel anything.

Well stay tuned I am sure there will be another picture soon.



* i am alittle disappointed in the pictures that we got this time. The lady put them all on a CD after she finished the scan. And of about 10 pictures these are the only 2 that you can really tell what you are looking at. And even these are not really that great.

10 weeks

We are finally able to see little arms and legs. And the baby even waved Hi to mom during the scan.

** disclaimer.... please excuse the bad picture of a picture... You gotta work with me people**

8 weeks

I know that I am a few weeks behind on post's but for some reason I have been a little preoccupied. The last post our little one was just 6 weeks gestation. And here was our little one at 8 weeks. Yes I realize that I am now 11 1/2 weeks but like I said I'm behind.
