Clara Nicole Graham

It's official. Her name is Clara Nicole Graham. My brother sent me a few new pictures this morning:


I'm so excited to have a little girl in the family that will be so close to Julianna's age. They will be just months apart. Keep baking Miss Julianna! Stay in the oven as long as you can!

baby girl Graham is here!

Yesterday afternoon, my brother and his wife had their baby! Her first name will definitely be Clara but the middle name is still undecided. I think they are going to go with Clara Nicole. She weighed in at 6 lbs. and 1 oz. She was about four weeks early but she looks so perfect. I can't wait to hold her and squeeze her little cheeks!


Josh and I are becoming plentiful with nieces and nephews!

Current count:
Nieces: Dynasty, Alyssa, Lexi, Harmony, Clara
Nephews: Dakota, Gage, Daytona, Ashton, Dylan, Tyson

For a total of 11! I love having all of these wonderful children around and I really can't wait until our little Julianna is here to join in on all of the fun!

26 weeks and 2 days

Pregnancy: 26 weeks and 2 days

Weight Gain: about 25 pounds so far

Sleep: it's going much better right now but who knows how long this will last! i still wake up earlier than I'd like to feeling hungry.

Gender: she's a girl :)

Name: Julianna Hope Soto

Feeling: excited and anxious... only 96 days 'til my due date!

Health: my blood pressure has been great throughout my pregnancy, the doctor says my weight gain in right on track considering my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm still experiencing yucky heartburn and acid reflux.

Movement: she moves alllll of the time--especially when I'm resting on my back or side and after I eat.

Belly Button: it's still in and it looks the same as it did 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure if it will stay in or come out. I am carrying Julianna very low so it might just stay in. We'll see!

Next Appointment: next week... I have to reschedule it because I double booked myself for the dentist and the OB. My doctor's office is very flexible so I'm sure I can get it rescheduled with no problem. I will be having my one hour glucose test at this appointment. I will get to drink a really nasty fruit flavored beverage, wait around for an hour, then have my blood drawn. I hope my glucose check turns out good because I will not want to experience that again!

26 weeks and 1 day/Baptism Day

Josh and I were baptised at church this morning. We are going to become members of Bailey's Grove Baptist Church. Josh's mom, step dad, grandma, sister, two of his brothers, two of his sister-in-laws, and our nieces and nephews were there to celebrate with us. It was a great experience... except for the fact that the water was sooooo cold! It hadn't been warmed up so it was probably close to 40 degrees! My legs were shaking and my lips were quivering.
