Sorry - I still don't have my computer set up. I'm operating on a borrowed Micron laptop right now and truly missing my 2 portable hard drives and my camera cables! So instead of pictures of our new digs, all I've got to offer is a name.
I've spent the past 23 weeks being pregnant, but it hasn't seemed very real. Maybe it's because my other "baby" is only 14 months old, still crawling, and still high-maintenance. Maybe it's because life has been pretty darn crazy and I'm too busy to dwell on this pregnancy. Or maybe I'm in denial that in a few short months I'm going to be the mother of 5 children ages 8 and under...
Whatever it is, I just keep forgetting that I'm pregnant! Even now that she's getting bigger and I can feel her move, I'm often startled by the sensation of a baby nudging me. I finally started to feel bad that I haven't given this little one enough attention. I won't be having babies forever, and I hate the thought of letting these precious moments just pass me by. I came to the conclusion that in order to make more of a connection with the growing fetus within, she needed to have a name. I plowed through a lot of names, but nothing fit, until one of my old favorites came back to me and it was perfect. It even passed final approval with Brett! So, without further ado, baby number 5 will be...
Avery Meredythe
We always like to use middle names that honor a family member, and in this case "Meredythe" is a nod to Brett's Grandma Dodds (Edythe). She is a dear, sweet, caring woman and someone whom I would consider to be a true lady. We love you Grandma!

Beautiful name! I love deciding before the baby comes too.
