Not long ago we went to a wedding in Thailand. Not only was the wedding beautiful, but it gave us an excuse to get dressed up.

ultrasound fun
Preston was way more interested in the ultrasound this time around more than the last. I think because we did a 4D one and because she looked more human :)
SO PRECIOUS!! I wouldn't trade these moments for anything!
My curious onlooker wondering what all the gel was and asking if he could smear it on my belly.
The countdown has really begun for us. Tim is up against some major deadlines in the next 5 weeks and after that just wait for baby. My next OB appointment is Sept 7th. At the time I made the appointment that seemed like light years away, now it seems to be fast approaching. In the meantime we are enjoying the August cool fall like weather Chiang Mai has to offer. This week has been strange as Preston has been really sick so I have been busy getting some Christmas crafting off my 'to do' list while he has been taking MANY naps. Tonight we go to the Dr. and make sure he is on the road to recovery.

public thank you's and our #1 baby name
This week I was able to open up 2 packages from 2 great people/families. First I opened a box that came in the mail from Tiffany Dowdell. Thank you Tiffany for thinking of all of us. The Starbucks card is always a hit, especially while we are back in Chiang Mai for baby girl to arrive. Love the pool cover up and Preston has been playing with hot wheels since we arrived. As for baby girl... the CUTE little outfits are even cuter in person than on the registry. LOVE THEM!!! Thank you so MUCH! You are such a good friend
The second package came from the Konold family. Thank you Daniel, Emily, and David for thinking of us. You are always faithful friends. Almost every evening after dinner Preston asks Tim to play baseball with him. He LOVES his new glove and ball. Although the first day they played Preston threw it so hard, it went into a swampy area and Tim spent 30 minutes fishing it out. Preston was so happy and his tears dried up as soon as his new ball was safe in his arms again. I can't wait to put baby girl into the new onesies you sent. As soon as I can I will be putting her in the new little headbands you sent. So CUTE! She is one blessed little girl and we are beyond blessed to have friends like you. THANK YOU!
Now as for names...we had about 10 or 12 names that either one or the other liked, but there were only 2 names that we BOTH liked. They were/are Alivia (but Tim liked it spelled with an O not an A) with middle name Hope or Marie and the second name was Isabella Grace. As we kept saying the names over and over we continued to like Isabella more and more. So with only about 9 weeks until due date we think we are settling with Isabella Grace. Of course we reserve the right to change that name at any time, but for now you can pray for baby Isabella by name. I like to hear it and read it over and over. It helps to assure me that I haven't picked some crazy name that I would regret 10 years from now. However, if Preston had it his way he says the baby's name should be 'Skyla Booty' not sure where that came from, but he giggles every time he says it.
So we are in Chiang Mai for a couple of months, and doing well. Tim is VERY busy, but will be able to take a break in October when Isabella comes.
