Our Weekend with Madison Saige

Being that this is the first weekend knowing our baby's name we have had an amazing time "getting to know her". First just being able to talk to her and now use her name has given me a deeper feeling connnection to my baby girl.

It seems like Madison Saige already has a mind of her own, which we knew would happen immediately since she is her parents child...

She has been sleeping till 4 in the afternoon and then moving like crazy just to let us know she is there. She seems to like the books we read to her (The Little Mermaid) but who really knows. Maybe she is just "letting" us be amused with ourselves for now.

Saturday Danielle and I decided it was time to register for this little one. After all we are almost halfway through the pregnancy and her parents are still living like newlyweds....

When thinking about where to head first we figured the only logical place to register would be of course...Target. Target has EVERYTHING plus they are EVERYWHERE and we LOVE Target! Target is also the only place to register for weddings in case you didn't already know!

Armed with our Target scanner and a cart to carry Danielle's purse and our NEW Target Gift bag...free with any registry... We were off to the BABY section. Only question is "where is the baby section". Of all the times Danielle and I have made trips to Target I think we have only seen the baby section once and maybe twice and only to be like "aww how cute"...Never on a mission.

Well, this time our mission had brought us to the one more part of Target that we HAD TO HAVE everything we saw. Seriously, are we the only ones who love Target enough that would be happy to own ANYthing in there???

As we perused the 6 or so aisles, we found onesies, binkys, and blankies. There is baby girl items in pink, brown, yellow, and teal. They have clothes proclaiming your baby as "daddy's little girl", and "Mommy's Little Lamb". There were about a thousand different bottles for feeding and a million different diapers for after feeding.

We scanned it all....

We figured this gets us through about her first 90 days or so. There is so much to take in for new parents and especially this daddy who is totally not in the know on anything BABY. I have a lot to learn but I am up for the challenge.

It would have been pretty impossible for me to imagine loving someone who I have never met, but I can easily say I love Madison Saige and cant wait to meet her!

Madison Saige Mendoza

Well, the day has come for us to find out if were decorating in Pink or Blue..

We have been excited from day one about our special blessing and were not at all leaning either way, although Danielle had said she "felt" like we were having a girl all along. She has been saying that basically from the beginning but we have not really said, because we didn't want to give way to give our baby a complex if we said the wrong thing....Mostly that was me because I over-think!!!

Anyway, I guess there is something to this mommy intuition because Danielle was RIGHT!!!

We are expecting a baby girl sometime in early March next year!!! We are so excited and very happy with God's choice of a girl for us!

I am so proud of Danielle, she has been doing so well with everything and she is going to be the perfect mommy for Madison Saige.

Please help us pray for a healthy mommy and baby, and that everything will be just as God planned! We will of course be updating here regular so please bookmark us here or check us out on facebook!

Our Pregnancy Update!

We are 18 weeks and 2 days into this wonderful new life. Danielle has been doing so great and I am so proud of her. She has been doing so well with all that has been going on! We have a doctor's appointment this week, and hopefully we will be able to find out if we will be welcoming a baby girl or a baby boy into our lives!

We will try and update a little more often from now on since we are getting almost to the halfway point.
