It's just a Name.....

Who knew picking out a name would be so difficult? Chris and I have been having such a hard time with narrowing down some names. When we first found out we were pregnant we tried making lists and no luck. We decided to wait until we knew the gender before we did anymore research. When we found out we were having a Girl we looked through books, magazines, the internet, anywhere you could think of. We knew we wanted her middle name to be Hazel after Chris' maternal grandmother but we were stuck trying to figure out a first name. He liked something and I hated it or I really liked something and he hated it. We are both very stubborn!! Haha!! We kept going back to one particular name that from the very beginning of the pregnancy had been one that we agreed on. So after many stressful nights of hours on the laptop and iPad we decided that our search was over... Baby Mort is now officially Caroline Hazel Mort. We have grown to love the name and talk about her as "Caroline"   We can't believe how fast everything has been going and if we blink June is going to be here before we know it!! Exciting times are ahead in the Mort household!

It's A........

So far 2014 has been pretty great!!!! We had our first ultrasound on January 10th to determine if Baby Mort was a boy or a girl. We found out at this appointment that we have a very stubborn baby who also seemed to be camera shy. Our poor ultrasound tech had me practically upside down trying to get Baby Mort to flip over. Chris and I found out the gender but had to keep it a secret until the next day which was when we had a Gender Reveal party with our family. That evening we watched Madison in homecoming as she was nominated as the Sophomore Maid and she was absolutely Gorgeous!!!!! I was harassed and bribed by all of our family and friends begging for me to give a little hint on Baby Mort's gender but Chris and I never budged. I was actually quite proud of myself considering I wanted to explode and tell everyone!! The next day was spent preparing for the big Reveal. We ordered a cake that we would cut into to show the gender. That  night our family and very close friends gathered at the Strunk's house and we cut into the cake revealing that Baby Mort is a precious baby GIRL!!! We could not be more excited for this adventure. Chris is already thinking about Softball, pitching lessons, and teaching her how to play the Xbox . Of course all I think about is pretty dresses and lots of hairbows. Our families are both very excited and now we can just prepare for June!!!!
