A name, ultrasound, snacks, and football.

First things first, our baby sister finally has a name....or four. ;) We had the hardest time deciding this time even though we've loved this name for a girl since MC was born and MC was almost named this. We also have always loved my mamas maiden name, Palmer, and it has always been our one and only boy name. It still is, and we decided to save it in case we have a baby boy or another baby girl. We started to like it as a girl name too, so went back and forth on Our original name or going ahead and using our boy name. We decided in the end that it is still our favorite for a boy, but if we had another girl that would be her name too. So maybe one day we will be blessed to have a Palmer or Palmer Kate. But for now, we are just so content and thankful for our sweet baby sister, AnnaClaire Elizabeth Whelan. We will call her Anna Claire. Still can't decide if we want to space Anna Claire or keep it together because to us it is her first name and Elizabeth is her middle. She is named after two of her great grandmothers and we think it's perfect. Gifts and items with her name and initials have been arriving this week! 

I had the sweetest ultrasound of our head down!!!!!! precious, BIG, Anna Claire. It was so clear! She is getting hair on her head and Christy got the best pictures of her face. In this one she has her hand tucked under her chin, kind of like she's resting on her side on a pillow. You can see her eyes, nose, mouth, and sweet cheeks. It took my breath away when I saw it. She got pictures from under her chin and nose and it was amazing how well you could see her features with just a basic ultrasound. I was 33 weeks for the ultrasound.

It was snack week for me at Molly Caroline's preschool. We only had to bring it two days and that was hard for me because I had a lot of ideas. MC is loving all things halloween, so we went with "spider cakes" as she called them, banana ghosts, and a harvest snack mix for the first day.

We did a pumpkin theme on Friday and made pumpkin rice crispie treats, and I sent mandarin oranges, and cheese in a pumpkin shape. All things MC loves.

The big football game didn't end how we wanted last night, but the weather was perfect, and MC got to play with Elsa, and got a pink Barbs football, a CFA cow, and a pom Pom, which she shook all night and yelled "Go Jackets Go"!!! Since she has been born, we've been to nearly every home game and love getting seaso tickets, but we've never stayed for the entire game. We usually leave after the halftime show. So last night was a first! But it was great!

We are excited about a low key weekend full of projects, a little shopping, and maybe a pumpkin patch.
