November 24, 2008 - She has a name!


Hi all,

Just thought we would give you a quick update on how things are going with Baby Girl Bogard. We have decided on a name and our beautiful little girl will be Kaitlyn Elizabeth Bogard. Daddy D says it is OK to call her Katie, but that her first deer will have a plaque saying Kaitlyn's First Deer. We thought it would be good for her to have a name that would grow with her so she can be Katie while she's little and once she is old enough to decide she can be Kaitlyn if she prefers. That way she gets to have the cutesy little girl name and can grow up to have a more sophisticated name as well.

We had another Dr appointment yesterday and she is still a bit camera shy. She gave us good picture of her playing peek-a-boo and of her sucking her thumb. Attached is the latter. We still didn't get a good full frontal view of her face so we will try again next month. It is routine for the Dr to want a full face view so they can know in advance about any problems as she develops. We have been assured that there is nothing wrong, just a procedural picture so we will keep trying until she cooperates. She is doing great and developing right on track. I am doing good as well. Still no sickness to speak of, but I have developed stay puff marshmallow feet. Many of my friends have told me that this is my payback for not having morning sickness, but the Dr says it is perfectly normal and they will continue to monitor things to make sure there are no problems. Everything looks very normal right now though, with the exception of the sight of my feet which could be used as a double in a remake if the ghostbusters movie. NO really they have gotten much better over the last few days and are almost back to being the skinniest part of my body. :)

Daddy D and I are starting to nest some. He has been home more working on getting things finished around the house. Little projects that we have been putting off and bigger ones that we have not taken the time to complete. We are planning on going to register for stuff for Katie the weekend after Thanksgiving. Crazy I know, but I hate to keep him away from the deer lease any longer than necessary. Hopefully we can get everything taken care of in one day, because I know he would rather be out doing other things.

Well, I guess that is all for now. Thanks to all of our friends and family for all of their support over the last several months. It is a crazy ride but we are loving every minute of it. We can't wait to share our blessing with you. Just a few short months and she will be joining us!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

XOXO,

Kelly, Daniel, and Katie
