And his name is....

Landon Noah. August 15 was the baby shower at Red Hawk Golf Club and it was amazing. Beth, Serena, Sheri, Aubrey and my mom all worked very hard to make my dream shower come true.

The games were great. The ladies competed in the "bottle sucking challenge" to see who could down blue gatorade the fastest (this game caught the attention of golfers passing by - one foursome actually stopped to see who would win). Crystal Gaudette was the victor! Everyone also competed in the "scavenger hunt." Approximately 25 baby items were scattered around the area and the one with the most items, and correct description of each, won. Gina Serrano came out on top! "My water broke" was another game where all the ladies were given a cup covered with mesh with a hole in the center. An ice cube with a frozen baby was placed in the hole, the lady who's baby fell into the cup first yelled, "my water broke" and was deemed the winner. Aunt LuAnn ran away with this one! Everyone also participated in the "nursery rhyme challenge." Pam Robinson took first place! And then, the most anticipated game of the day, "Baby of Fortune." All the women were placed into teams of 8 and each team had a turn to guess a letter and then guess the name. After a few rounds, the winning team solved the puzzle - Welcome Landon Noah. The team included Mollie, Bri, Olivia, Theresa, Shelly, Carolyn and Heather!

The setting for the shower was ideal - on a golf course on a beautiful day! The decorations were perfect and those cupcakes - awesome!! I have the most wonderful family and friends any girl could ask for. Thank you for all the gifts - Nick and I are so grateful.

Lt. Dan at 28 Weeks

Nick and I went back for our follow up with Perinatal Associates and were told that Lt. Dan is perfectly normal and average. They don't even want to see us anymore which is great because that means our baby is healthy, but I'll miss seeing him in 3-D.

He has Nick's nose. He is covering half his face with his arm and puckering his lips but that is definitely Nick's nose. :)



Here is the standard ultrasound picture. I cannot wait to meet him.
