Well….we got the results from the CVS back and I’m officially growing a baby boy! We're both very excited….and most happy about everything being normal with the kiddo’s chromosomes. That news was such a relief. Now it's all about choosing a name and we have been doing some serious back and forth. I told Brandon that I would like to settle on a name in the next few months so that we can start calling him by his name long before delivery….but it's definitely a wait and see. It's already clear that it won't be any easy decision.
We had no trouble picking out a girl’s name, but the boy name has given us major trouble. I’d list out the current contenders for you, but I do not want to jinx anything. One of the roadblocks we faced when deciding was the fact that three of the names on our short list were taken by the newest additions to the Alderete and Edgerly sides of the family. Doh! We're totally happy for the new parents, but it did complicate things here in Austin. ; ) Anyway, we’ll keep at it and inform all of you when a winner is chosen.
We do have some news from the home improvement front….we just completed some pretty significant sheetrock repair and replacement at the house. There was work required in almost every room of the house and it took 4 days to complete. The biggest job was in our finished garage where there were some serious issues, but the crew ended up pulling it off and we’re definitely pleased with the work in there. I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you what a mess sheetrock work can make in a home…..uuuuuugh!!! I was close to a meltdown quite a few times over the week because of the chaos caused, but Brandon was able to keep me out of the looney bin and was a big help in getting things in the house back together. The only room we really have left to tackle is the office and all that requires is some heavy usting….*whew…..
Our next effort will hopefully start in the Spring, but there are a few competing projects right now because of the kiddo coming......Of course, financing the projects is a tad more complicated now that we’ve got daycare costs and insurance coverage to consider in the coming year…..but as always, we’ll figure it out and get it done. No worries.
My appointment with Dr. Winn is still this Friday and Brandon will definitely be there this time…..I’ve learned my lesson on that. Besides, I’m anxious for him to meet Dr. Winn anyway. During the appointment, we’ll be going over my CVS results (which are all good), my blood work, and then taking another look at the kiddo. We should have audio this time around, so we’ll be able to hear the heartbeat instead of just seeing it just seeing it.
That’s all I’ve got today, folks. Hope everyone has a great work week!!! We’ll chat again next week.

Glad to hear the great news on the baby and not surprised by the fact that it is a boy! We have lots of those on the Edgerly grand and great grand side!
Love ya,
Susan
This babe is on our "Hot Line to Heaven" prayer list. We have about 20 parishioners who pray for intentions on a list.
Peace for this new year!
Lynette & Men
