Easter 2009

We had such good weather on Easter this year....it was perfect, just really windy as I'm sure you can tell from my hair in all these pictures. I posted a few pics on here that we took at my parents house after church.....





A pregnancy update: I am now a little over 33 weeks pregnant!!! I went to the doctor again a week ago and she told me that my baby is pretty large. She said either 1-I'm going to have a big baby or 2-I could be further along than what they originally thought. I'm hoping its the latter of the 2 :) I go back to the doctor again next Tuesday and after that appointment I start going every week. Probably the first of May is when they will be able to tell if I am further along than they originally thought. I honestly have thought pretty much throughout my whole pregnancy that I was further along than what they said. They originally said my due date was June 2 and then moved it up a few days when I had my 20 week ultrasound.....we'll see what happens! Dave and I are getting so excited and everything is looking so good! I'm almost done with the nursery, I will post pictures in the next week or so with the finished result! I think it's really starting to sink in with Dave, he's getting really excited. I don't know if its because I'm really showing now or that the nursery is pretty much done, but he is getting so excited. I love seeing him get so excited! Dave loves to put his hand on my stomach and feel the baby move, he does it just about every morning.
Last week I babysat a friend of mine's little 3 month old baby for a few hours while she ran some errands. I was really excited to do that and to see how Chloe would do with a little baby in the house. Surprisingly, she did really well! She was wagging her tail and Thomas (the little baby) was smiling and laughing at her. The only thing I had to watch out for was Chloe trying to take his toys......she didn't know they weren't hers.
Ok, so Dave and I have narrowed the name game down to 2 names. I want to get opinions, so post on the comment section what your vote would be.....I would love to know! We have tossed around so many different names. Originally, we both really liked Jackson since Dave is from Jackson and I'm from Jacksonville, but we both know SO many Jackson's. Then, I really liked the name Brayden, but Dave didn't. We also thought about William after Dave's grandaddy and also after my maiden name, and we would call him Will. Then I really liked the name David.....not David Wayne Cherry Jr. but David Charles Cherry, after Dave and his dad. Dave didn't like that because he thought it would be confusing. SO-here are the final two.
1. Austin Blake Cherry
2. Blake David Cherry
Last week, we were pretty certain it was going to be the first, but the more I think about it, I don't know that I like the fact that his initials would be ABC. I also don't know if it will be confusing having two Austin's in the family......What are everyone's thoughts????? It's funny because when we first starting discussing names, Dave said Austin Blake but I immediately shot it down because it was my brothers name and that was weird to me. But, I don't know alot of Austin's so the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. I just love the second name as well because his middle name will be after his Daddy's.

  1. So exciting that you guys are in the final countdown!! I have to put my vote in for Austin Blake....I just love the name Austin. It's Brian's granddad's name too...and there just aren't a whole lot of them. I LOVE the unusual names since mine is Ashley! haha. Hope you two have fun time sticking your baby with it's BEAUTIFUL name...either one you choose he'll be blessed to have!

  2. Hey! I like both names as well. I think it would be special to your son to share names with either your brother or his dad. What about combining those names (Austin David Cherry)? Out of the two names you listed I like Austin Blake. I loved the Easter photos, you look wonderful!!!

  3. I like both names. (I love the name Blake - that was one of the names we thought about, too.) For me, I like having a family tie somewhere in the name, and I like the tie to William, too. Have you thought about William David or William Blake?

    You look so cute!!

  4. You look adorable! I can't help you out on the name thing cause they are all super cute. Of course, I am a little partial to the name Will :)
    Love both Austin and Blake.
    Can't wait to see the little guy!
