Six Months, Baby!

The end of July marked six months with our Carly May, and boy are we ever glad to have her in our lives.  Her smiles, laughs & sweet expressions fill our hearts with joy.  We hit the jackpot in this baby girl.  We're so glad she's ours!

She's Their Triplet

 So my sister texted me last night saying she thought it was about time for some six month comparison pictures of my kids.  Being the amazing sister that I am, I obliged. ;)

So here we have pictures of Carly, followed by pictures of her brothers.  You know, everyone tells me that they see so much Wyatt in her, but I gotta say, I think she's basically Logan & Jack's triplet.  (All pictures are from six months of age)

And because I never did this at four months, here's the line up from then:

I have to say looking at the comparison at four months, she does more closely resemble Wyatt.  Funny what time does!

26 Weeks

I am six and a half months pregnant.  

Baby Girl Cunningham is alive & kicking... literally.  

Josh got to feel her kick faintly yesterday and today she gave him a good strong one.  We are both so happy that he is home for the week, and his arrival has me in a contemplative mood.  Today on our drive home from the beach (more on that later this week) we were listening to my favorite album, JJ Heller's I Dream of You, when I Know You Will came on.

"You don't need to let the rain clouds 

underneath your skin

Love sings louder than the darkness

Let the light shine in

...I know you will"

And as I listened the lyrics, little Babyham dancing under my skin, I couldn't help but think how she's my rainbow baby.  And I felt incredibly grateful that God blessed me with a hopeful heart.  Because after two back to back miscarriages, it would have been really easy to throw in the towel, accept our family as it was, and not put myself out there again.

I'm so grateful we did try again.  The risk will absolutely be worth the reward.

In other news, we have narrowed down the baby name list to six possibilities.
