Mother's Day and the Zoo

 Mother's Day weekend we didn't have any set plans. The weather was beautiful on Saturday and on a impulse we decided to head to the zoo. It was the first time we have been there this year. The weather couldn't have been anymore perfect.

 Cooper loved it all. The penguins are always fun!

 I'm not sure what he thought of the Gorilla...ha!

 This was the first time I had seen the new Sea Lion exhibit with the walk through tunnel.

 

 Time for a little Dippin Dots snacks. 

 He really loved the Hippos!

And to finish it off we rode the train around the zoo! Later that evening Cooper and Joe took me out for my Mother's Day dinner at Hacienda. One of my favorite mexican places. It was a great Mother's Day! 

And the name is....

We have liked this name for a really long time. We thought about some other options. But when it came down to it.. Gwyneth was the winnner! We just kept coming back to it. We did have a little harder time agreeing on the middle name. I wanted Charlotte after my Grandma and Joe wanted Rose because its a family name in his family. His mom, sister, and niece all have the middle name Rose. His great Aunt's name was Rose. And it may even go back farther than that. We decided we liked both so much that she would just have two middle names. And they sound pretty good together, right?

So hopefully "Gwen" doesn't hate us one day for having two middle names. But we really like them.
And they are family names. Which we think is really special.

By the way, the name Gwyneth means "blessed" or "happy". So that is kinda cool.

I'm almost 30 weeks. And still feeling great! We are getting more and more excited about meeting our little girl very soon!
