<\/p>\nToday was our ultrasound appointment – to find out if we are having a baby boy or a baby girl!<\/p>\n
Sunday will be 20 weeks – ALREADY! It’s going so slow but at the same time so fast!<\/p>\n
I have been on team girl – but not the whole time. Jared is on team boy! I thought at first it was a boy – maybe – then my brother and his wife found out they were having a girl and I thought – hmmmm – maybe we are too! I’ve been shopping for little Rowyn (Derek and Jessica’s miracle) and have just been in girl mode – all the little cute outfits and accessories – I am just in love!<\/p>\n
Today we determined a winner!<\/p>\n
We are so excited to introduce you to …<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our son – Fitzgerald Derek Douglas Barden – Fitzgerald means son of a spear warrior<\/strong> and we wanted to honor Jared’s friends Dan & Dave Fitzgerald along with the whole Fitzgerald family – Derek means famous ruler <\/strong>and is also my brother’s name – Douglas means flowing from the dark river<\/strong> and is Jared’s middle name (along with his dad’s middle name)! We will be calling him Fitz!<\/p>\n Barden means barley valley<\/strong> – just looked that one up!<\/p>\n The pictures above are at 12 weeks and today – 19 weeks!! Everything looks great – 4 chambered heart – all organs and limbs and brain are right on target!<\/p>\n He is unmistakably a boy – since he was waving his parts at us!<\/p>\n The next 20 weeks are going to be so quick! Although I am sure there will be times that I wish it would fly by faster!<\/p>\n We are having 5 baby showers – so exciting!<\/p>\n On March 19th – a Saturday – we will be hosting an open invitation baby shower for friends\/facebook friends\/clients\/blog readers at Liberty Bible Church!<\/p>\n On March 27th – my dear friend Johna will be hosting one!<\/p>\n On April 2nd – a Saturday – my sister will be hosting another open invitation baby shower for friends\/facebook friends\/clients\/blog readers in the Athens area at Mount Pisgah Wesleyan Church!<\/p>\n On April 3rd my mom is hosting one for our little boy and my brother’s little girl!<\/p>\n On April 16th – Jared’s mom is hosting one!<\/p>\n I have had so many people say they want to come to a shower – and by no means am I having the open invitation showers for gifts – YOU ALL have been reading and sharing with me on journey – and I want you there to share in the JOY that is our baby!<\/p>\n I am so excited to be a momma to Fitz and love on all my boys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today was our ultrasound appointment – to find out if we are having a baby boy or a baby girl!
