It's a............

Girl

Well, well, well! It's another girl for us! :) That is a total of 4 McCoy granddaughters & 2 Massey granddaughters. It is now up to Lindsay and Megan to "break the chain" of girls for the Craig Family---2 straight generations of nothing but girls! Everything is going well, and Twinkle, as Taryn wants to call her, is measuring right at 19weeks. She is 11oz. and everything is right on track! My blood pressure was good, and my total weight-gain of 4. 8 lbs is also good to go! :) Mark and I always said that if we had a boy, we would name him after Mark's favorite baseball player, Ty Cobb. Problem is, that Ty is short for Tyrus.......and that is NOT happening. For years our alternate name has been Tyler, and lately we said we would go with it either way. I think we are still leaning toward that, we just need to agree on a feminine middle name.

Enjoy the pics!

Let the renovations begin!

Although we have not found out what Baby Massey is yet, that doesn't stop my crafty mind from going nuts in the redecoration department. I have been really concerned because the closet in the baby's room is really tiny, and there is actually more wall space in the room than Taryn's. We had once thought of moving Taryn to the other room since it is kinda a blank slate, but her current room has a door to the bathroom and a bigger closet.......My thought, First come, first served. So I preceded to install additional shelving in the little closet and have bought a dresser from Habitat for Humanity. Unfortunately with the lack of wall space in Taryn's room we didn't buy the whole nursery set and now the dang thing has been discontinued. :-( So I was looking for something well-made that resembled the other two pieces we do have. Mission accomplished. Now I just need to do a little repair work, sand and refinish. It shouldn't be too bad. I am going to have to get creative replacing one of the drawer slides as it was missing and I have already made my weekly trip to Lowes for odds, ends, and new drawer pulls! I am a little impatient at times and have already sanded one drawer front buy hand b/c somehow the electric sander is MIA, but I just couldn't wait! I think all it will need is a clear coat and call it a day!

We should find out the baby's sex on 2/25, so I am sure the overhaul will morph into overdrive then! :-)
