Here is the next belly photo! It's at 31 weeks pregnant. Just a few more to go! We are still doing great here in Seattle but we're looking forward to moving back to Rexburg soon. My belly feels tighter everyday. I don't know how it's going to get any bigger, but it will. Reas has been a big help. Bringing me things, making me comfortable and telling me to eat healthy! He's going to be a great dad.

Update on Aevlyn's Name

This post is probably a relief to most of you. We have decided to spell her name 'Aevlyn.' Don't worry though! It's still got Irish elements. Spelling it Ae is like the spelling of the word gaelic. It helps tie it to the Irish roots. Also it helps so there's no confusion, whereas if we would have used Avelyn, some may have said ave-a-lyn or 'a' as in apple.

More thoughts about her name

We are still talking about how to spell Eihvlyn. We really like this spelling because it is more true to the Irish spelling I posted about earlier. Our question is how do look at this spelling and say it? Do you say Eh, as in Canadians say Eh? Or do you think EE like in sleep? We want her name to have the Eh sound. Also, I researched the other spelling, Avelyn and that is English, not Irish. So write back and tell us what you think.
