Middle name, Baby Shower, Big Feet, and a Green Room
Marcus and I decided to change Zolie's middle name to Maye, after my Grandma Maye (my mom's mom) and Marcus's dad's mom. My Grandma Maye lived with us my entire life until she passed away when I was in 7th grade. She was my best friend and I loved spending time with her. She helped me learn my Articles of Faith ... which I will never forget. I would watch tv with her, I think I would pretend to be sick just to stay home with her and hang out. I basically loved spending time with her in her room. I remember I would get up in the middle of the night and sneak in her room, she would want to cover me up even in August and I would be dying of heat, but I loved being with her so I put up with it ..... She was an awesome Grandma and person and I am really happy to name my first daughter after her. I like to think that Grandma Maye has been taking care of Zolie until she was ready to come to us.
My baby shower was this last Saturday and we basically got everything we needed, she will be very well dressed, that's for sure! It was a lot of fun and nice to see everyone that came, and those that helped out, I really appreciate it! I don't have any pictures on my computer but my mother-in-law took some so I will have to get them from her.
Ok, so we had an ultrasound last week and Zolie is already 6 lbs! I couldn't believe it, although I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I can feel that she is big. She also seems to have huge feet! Take a look for yourself, this is her foot right up b y her face, it ishuge! Hopefully that means she will be tall.
I remember going into Grandma Maye's room late at night too. Do you remember that really heavy white blanket she had on her bed that she would cover us up with? I am really glad you are naming Zolie after Grandma Maye but I am a little sad I didn't get the chance. I love Grandma Maye but I don't see myself naming a girl Ida.
