Not sure I would call it a baby "bump" anymore since it feels more like a baby "boulder" but here ya go anyway! Lol<br />

The last time we were able to see Lana was at our 20 week ultrasound appointment so as you can imagine, we were pretty pumped to get to see how far she has come since then. The appointment went very well and to our surprise we got to see a 4D picture of our precious baby girl! Doctor Thorne said she is progressing at a healthy rate. We were also happy to discover that she has flipped head down in preparation for her birth day! At 34 weeks and 2 days, she weighed in at 5.9 pounds! At this rate, Doctor Thorne estimates she should be around 8 pounds at birth. It's a good thing we didn't invest in many new born outfits because there is a good chance she is going to skip right past them! It's still hard to believe that Lord willing, we will be meeting our precious little Lana in less than 6 weeks! Pictures are wonderful but we can't wait to meet our little miracle from God in person! <br />

Our CrossPointe family threw us an absolutely beautiful baby shower and my mom, sis and nieces came all the way down from NC to share in this special memory.Brandon and I were completely humbled by the generosity and love poured on us by our friends and family. <br />
<br />
I would like to express a sincere thank you to all of the hostesses for all the time and efforts that went into throwing us such a perfect shower. Also, thank you to all our friends and family for sharing in this memorable event and for all the beautiful gifts. Baby Lana is one blessed little girl and she doesn't even know it yet!<br />

I am now 31 weeks and 2 days prego and feeling great! Here are some pics my friend Ruby took with my iPhone during our daily walk at work. I have to say, she did an awesome job! Especially considering what she had to work with! <br />
<br />

But concern yourself no more with whether we will update more frequently because, I assure you, we shall! We made a New Year's resolution and everything, and everyone knows those things are never reneged on.<br />
<br />
For our first post of the new year we figured we would bring out the big gun: the baby name. After weeks and weeks of thoughtful consideration we have decided to name our baby girl...<br />
<br />
Lana Joyce Barnes!<br />
<br />
Wow. Now that we wrote it on the internet there is no turning back! Seriously though, we are pleased with the name we found ourselves drawn to. We knew from the beginning that her middle name would be Joyce, named for Christy's late grandmother. <br />
<br />
Lana...is the name of Superman's high school girlfriend. That's right. While she appears in the comics/graphic novels, Christy first heard the name and took a strong liking to it as we watched the TV show <i>Smallville</i>, which is based on the graphic novel "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Superman-All-Seasons-Jeph-Loeb/dp/1563895293/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325697825&sr=8-1">Superman For All Seasons</a>". Now, for those of you that are thinking I'm the one that pushed this name because you know I am a huge geek please know that it was Christy's suggestion and insistence that we go with this name. I mean, everyone knows that if I had been allowed to force a name our first child - male or female - would have been named Batman Frodo Barnes. That's just how I roll.<br />
<br />

In all seriousness, we are very excited about the arrival of our daughter in just a few shorts months. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare our home and our hearts to properly care and provide for Lana Joyce physically and spiritually.<br />

It's hard to believe I'm already in my second trimester and 16 weeks preggo! <br />
<br />
I have had many requests for baby bump pictures but haven't really had much to show until very recently. So without further a due... Here ya go! :D<br />

If you have never experienced this, be prepared to learn every possible indicator of what exactly might be going on in there. Where the baby is riding, the baby's heart rate, did the baby see its shadow (wait, that is Groundhog day, never mind), and so on are all examined mercilessly to figure out this pressing question. Oh, and don't challenge someone on their assertions as this will most likely hurt their feelings and lead to a less-than-stellar baby shower gift.<br />
<br />
Christy and I set out this week to put all speculations aside and find out fo' sure what our little bundle of joy was (other than a human baby, which we had determined already from books). Like all major life events, we used a coupon. The place we decided to use was a neat place in Columbus called<a href="http://www.imageofamiracle.com/"> Image of a Miracle</a>. After a short wait we were escorted back to the Ultrasound room. At this point Christy was giggling and I was fairly concerned that she might explode in a fit of joy at any given moment.<br />
<br />
There were a few minutes of prep and then the show got on the road. I was conflicted between filming the screen and acknowledging/interacting with my wife during the appointment so the quality of the video isn't that great, unless you are into random starts and stops.<br />
<br />
First off, we got some general "wow, it looks more like a baby!" moments and enjoyed watching the baby wiggle and move around.<br />

<br />
<br />
Next, we got to experience hearing the baby's heartbeat for an extended amount of time. It is an amazing thing to hear a baby's heart and know that it is your child's.<br />

Now we get to the meat of the post. So, which is it? Are we having a son or a daughter this time around? Make your guess now....<br />

It's a girl! We are both very pleased and looking forward to meeting our daughter in a short 6 months from now. Christy is already envisioning our daughter's wardrobe for the next 10 years (hint: think Pandas). I am already cleaning my guns and eyeing the two year old boys in the church with suspicion. We are both very happy and are truly blessed by God.<br />
