20 Weeks...

Well, it's quite odd to post pictures of your growing belly, or at least for me it is. But I know so many are far away so I'm trying to put the strangeness aside! So here is the baby bump! 

Another fun moment we wanted to share was that 2 nights ago we had an AWESOME bed time gift...she was kicking! Shay and I just laid there laughing, but yet trying not to laugh so we could feel her. She was going to town just a kickin'! It is unreal to think of how the Lord is forming her each day. We were so excited! 

Names are still being brainstormed and we have quite a long list...it's just such a responsibility of naming a child! Goodness! We have also started to pray 5 qualities over her before she comes in November. For this month we are praying that she would be LOVING (loving kindness). We would love for you all to join us in this. We want our sweet girl to love the Lord but also be loving to others...new friends or family, we want her to love those around her. Here is the meaning of loving-kindness: 
The Old Testament's highest expression for love. It is variously called God's election-, covenant-keeping, or steadfast love. It is a love which remains constant regardless of the circumstances. Although used mostly with God, it sometimes is used of love between people. 

My parents have been up and so as Dad and Shay went to a movie us girls had a girl day out! We hit every kids store and found some great steals of deals! Here is my favorite outfit. I know it's for summer (we got 6-9 months for then) but that is what's on sale and we couldn't resist! It's Shay's fav too! I loved watching Shay see the outfit and think in his mind and heart...there will be a sweet girl wearing that in a year! Wow! We are getting more and more excited as each day passes. 

We love you all,
Shay, Ashley, and Baby Girl
