YAY BABIES!!! MY NIECE IS HERE!!!!!

My sweet baby niece was born yesterday (Nov 18th), at 10:18am. I'm SO excited!! i have another niece to love and spoil! :) I cannot wait to go see her precious little face in person. My sister is doing well, and Bella is too. My nephew Leif is a very happy big brother!! OH her name- Isabella Kayann.

Isabella Kayann

 Yes I realize Isabella is like THE most popular name right now, but I know my sister better than anyone on the planet, and I can bet on the fact that she has never EVER looked at a baby name book, site, or the 'most popular' lists....ever. This is a name they picked out because they truly loved it. She doesn't CARE that it's popular, and that's fine with me I guess. LOL well everyone that knows me, knows that I wouldn't use a popular name myself (having one myself is why), but anyone that knows me ALSO knows how well I can shut my damn mouth with my opinions or feelings if you HAPPEN to be related to me, or very special to me. I would NEVER EVER say a bad thing about my sister's, my sister-in-law's, or a good friend's name choices. THAT is off limits IMHO. I keep it to myself, smile, fawn over their names etc. Call that two-faced, or whatever I really don't give a fuck....my friends and family gave me the same courtesy when I announced my children's names too. *shrug* I see no need to hurt anyones feelings over this when they are FAMILY.

Bella and big brother Leif

((Strangers on the Internet ASKING for my opinion...that's a different story! HAHA))
Anyways- Kayann.
My mother's middle name is Kay. My brother-in-law's mother's middle name is Ann. thus- Kayann. Again. i get the sentiments, so i will shut my mouth. :)

Honestly though- just look at her face and tell me you could say ANYTHING about her name accept....OMG she's gorgeous!! :P haha.

Jaesus.

Baby Shower!!

My sister's baby shower was in October, and we had a great time! She got tons of things for the baby, and we had a nice cake, and the kiddos there played all over the place. This is how my family is...very "family friendly". i know of a lot of showers (some I've been to) where kids and spouses are not invited, it's just "the girls"...i find that ODD! I guess it's weird to me because my family always uses any celebration as an excuse to get together and have fun! :P

Me, My BIL Jeff, My sis Callie, and My Grandmother

So everyone was welcomed to this shower! Mine were like that too. I was assigned the task of writing every gift down in her baby book. Boy there was a ton of stuff, and my poor hand was so tired after it was all said and done. LOL. There was tons of pink of course, and then a few of Jeff's friends (Jeff is my brother-in-law) thought it would be funny to give Jeff and Callie (Callie is my sister) a few "just in case" gifts...ya know just in case the baby turns out to be a boy instead. LOL it was hilarious. They had so many

gifts that we had to load up their car and others to get it all back to their house. I really enjoyed seeing my sissy. The last time she was pregnant i lived in Oklahoma and never got to see her during her pregnancy, i hated that. My sissy has been having some pretty strong braxton-hicks contractions over the last 2 weeks now. Just last night she texted me saying that she was having good contractions every 10mins or so....but they eventually went away. I think she's getting close!! She's due on Nov 21st. (the day after my bff's bday too!) but i think she might go into full blown labor next week/weekend!!!! I cannot wait to see my new little niece! I'm so excited, and I'm hoping for another little redhead! :) We need another little redheaded girl in the family. haha.
