Registering and baby stuff

I've decided that there really should be a crash course in what baby products a soon to be new mother needs to have. Websites like Babys R Us are just too much for the new eye. There are soooooo many things to look at and choose and I really have no idea what I need or will need, besides the basics... If anyone has any advice on "must haves" or essentials I'd be so happy to listen.

Girl or Boy

It's official Johnathan and I will be welcoming a little baby girl into our family on November 14th. Ailbe Elaine Murphy will join the family and we are all sooooooo excited to meet her and learn more about her.

Ailbe (Al-bee) is an old Irish name which means white, or fair and Elaine (named after auntie Elaine my sis) means bright shining light. So Ailbe Elaine will mean white shining light, which we think is just beautiful for our little girl. St. Ailbe was one of four patron saints in Ireland and is a common unisex name spelled numerous ways in Ireland. We absolutely adore the name as does the whole family. I know she won't have to worry about there being another little Ailbe in Kindergarten lol.

Can't wait to meet her...20 weeks to go!!!!

Go team pink!!!

Anatomy Scan

So on June 23rd we are going to have our anatomy scan done. At the scan we are going to learn our baby's gender. I don't know what it is but I'm so nervous to learn if it's a boy or a girl. Why am I so nervous? Maybe I'm not nervous, maybe it's all excitement. Being pregnant is a whole new ball game for me and it comes with a whole new set of feelings and experiences. I'll post the scan pic to let everyone know the results. Can't wait to find out!!!!

Telling the Grandma's to be ;-)

Check out our mom's reactions to hearing they will be grandmothers. My mum who's usually outgoing was the quiet reserved one and Melinda (Johnathan's mom) who's usually super quiet is the one screaming!!!! Priceless moment- we got them the same Brighton id bracelet and asked them to open it at the same time, the bracelets says Grandmother on them ;-) Took my mum a while to notice what it said lol....see if you can hear Elaine in the background complaining about having to come outside haha and Mr. Murphy (Johnathan's dad) has no clue what's going on...just too funny!!!

Baby Murphy Coming Fall 2010

We are super excited to announce that we are expecting a little baby Fall 2010. We are more than thrilled to take this next step in our relationship and can't wait to share with everyone. We will be having our anatomy ultra sound June 23 so we will let everyone know the gender after that date! Again we are soooooo excited and just can't wait for our new family addition.
