9 Weeks ...

So, after much thought, I have settled on a baby name for this little one. DRUM ROLL PLEASE...




EDWINA


It's Jon's middle name with a twist! :)

So- we are just shy of week 10 and the Stubes are ready to go on Vacation for two weeks. I can't believe by the time we return home, I'll be days away from my 2nd trimester and well, ready for my next doctors appointment! I'm looking forward to some much needed Rest and Relaxation and also spending some time with Jon's parents. Don't judge me, but probably the thing I look forward to the most is AIR CONDITIONING!! haha!

Ruthie still has no idea her life is going to change. We try to point to my belly often and tell her "baby" but then she'll go around pointing to my chest and saying "mommy, baby!" ... hmmmm not quite little one!

Ruthie is such a joy! I can't believe how big she's getting. Yesterday at Target I bought her a set of flashcards. She can and has been able to recognize about 10 letters from the alphabet. It's amazing. Around 18 months we were walking through a store and Ruthie shouted "P!!!!" and was pointing at the PRICE sign. I was shocked! She LOVES her ABC book but I thought she was just memorizing the letters in the book- not actually learning the letters!! Go Ruthie!! Since we found out we were expecting at 18 months, it's only fitting that she learned the letters: P U K E first :)
One of my new favorite things is Ruthie has learned how to say "Ruthie- ... "Uthie"" followed by learning how to say "Blair- "bye bye Blair" :) Too cute!!

A lot of fun these last few days/weeks. Can't wait to share more and more to come!!
