WE FINALLY HAVE A NAME

Well last night Mark and I were having our nightly chat when towards the end I said we seriously need to start thinking of a name for the baby. Yes, it's takin this long...LOL Every name that would come up one of us didn't completely like it andddddddddddddd Mark was really busy so the last month or more he was NOT looking or thinking of names as active as I was..Just saying Ummm I gotta think of that name more when I would come up with some. LOL


So anyhoo toward the end of the conversation I said we need to get serious..Mark being the jokester he is started running names off the top of his head that were out of this world. Like Abner as one of them. (sorry if you know anyone who has that name , I mean no offense) Mark was cracking himself up and said well at least we can cross some names off. I was like HELLO we should of been doing that all along not weeks before we have thisbaby. So we threw out a name we both liked and he said he wanted to pray about it and ponder it and think about it and he would let me know this morning. Sooooooooooooo I got the text about 15 mins ago and it's official we have a FIRST name..the middle we pretty much have 2 but I told him we will decide when he is home. I'm just so excited to have a first name...


Okay okay I have babbled enough so our baby's name is going to be ............







BLAKE!

33 1/2 weeks along

Well I thought it was time to post an updated pic of me and this baby belly of mine...OF course it's a bathroom shot but what can you do when your child is at school and hubby is away in another town. LOL

I have a doctor appt tomorrow so I will hope to have more in on what I can do with this pain. It's really bad but I have so much to do and take care of Taylor so makes it more difficult. They can give me painkillers but it's not doing a thing for me and I don't want it to effect the baby. So I opted not to take any and just take the pain.

Taylor is doing great in school but is upset they have not given homework yet...LOL

First day of school

Today was soooo emotional. Taylor started kindergarten and boy let me tell you it was really hard to leave her. We both did very well till it was time to say good-bye, even then Taylor was braver and better than me.I had to keep turning my head to wipe my tears away all the while trying to do it where she wouldn't see me. :-) Then when it came time for the parents to leave, Taylor got teary eyed which made my tears surface again. lol I went to give her another hug and kiss and she says "Mommy who will take care of you and help you while I am at school". I LOSE IT THEN! I could not see anything and I had created a puddle of tears on the sidewalk. Talk about not being able to hold it in. That was the toughest!

She is such a big helper and has such a HUGE heart and lately with my condition has been soooooooooooo into making sure I am okay. Mark told her to be a big helper while he was gone and help me well she took that job very serious and everyday before we got to sleep asks me "Mommy I was a big helper today huh, daddy will be proud I made sheep choices huh". Of course we are sooooooooo PROUD of her. She brings so much joy to our lives and so much more to my heart!!!

Long story short I counted down the clock and always checked it. She was so excited when I seen her that she LOVES school and LOVES her teacher. She said she was tired and just wanted to relax. (yes in those words) Too funny!!

My little girl is growing up and all very fast. I definity have treasured her at every age and look forward to many more "new" events in her life...and building many more memories to share in the future.

Sooo sad

I am so sad Mark left today for his Chief training. It was so hard to have him leave, I am so vulunerable and scared with the complications I'm having and not having him close by is nerve wracking...Grrrrrrrrr! Hormones of course is cry cry cry!!!

Taylor had a hard time saying good bye too especially how close they have become in the last year. She is definity daddy's lil girl...Mark got teary eyed in saying good-bye to her...so tough!! She was excited though knowing she can sleep with me while he is gone...ha ha ha

She starts school next week so this week will be early to bed which she is not too happy about..lol

Well today marks 8 months along...so we are really near the end rounding the corner...scary but exciting at the same time..I have been in so much pain I soooooooooooooooo WANT A BODY RUB!!! If they weren't so dang expensive I would be there every day..ha ha ha

Okay I just want to be on the pitty potty bus of my husband leaving today and think tomorrow I will be going out to buy THE HOST and read that..help me take my mind off missing him and since bedrest is killing me that will give me a good take my mind off that as well.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday...Sorry not soo exciting...

Joys of Pregnancy

Well this weekend I will officially be 8 months. I'm excited, anixous and miserable. Excited cause it's getting closer to delievery this baby who seems to want to come RIGHT now! Anixous cause I want to see what he looks like and just have him in my arms to hug and kiss. Miserable cause I feel like when I walk he is going to stick a part of him out and say HI MOM...he is so low and the pelvic pain is crazy. I have heartburn like there is no tomorrow. Taylor is my maylox girl of going back and forth to where ever my bottle of it is to rush to me. She's such a great helper!!!

Taylors nightly prayers have been "Please let my brother not hurt mommy anymore" which is sweet she is so concerned for me, but I have to tell her it's not is fault he is just growing so fast and it's almost time for him to come. She seems to understand that, I told Mark I didn't want her to resent her brother. lol

Mark leaves this Sunday for 30 days for some more Chief training. I'm scared, nervous and totally going to be counting down the days till I see him again. He has been so sweet in taking care of me when he is home,and I know he has alot on his mind in going away. I have a great ward family who are stepping in already to help out. So I think we will be fine.

Oh I bought the 4th book Breaking Dawn in the Twilight series saturday afternoon and already finished it by late Sunday evening. It was GREAT! I think I liked it a lot better than the other 3 books. I don't know if it's cause I am so hormonal but I was able to relate better to her and feel the emotions more. I heard there was another book in the making for the Twilight series but through the eyes and feelings of Edward. I think that would be great to read too. I can't wait to see the movie and see how it compares to the books. I heard and seen a lot about the HOST and always put it down thinking it wouldn't be any good but I have heard different so I think since I am having to be laid up I could read it and see for myself.

Well I thought I needed to update this and I was getting tired of laying down and sitting so I jumped on here for a few mins. I will try to update as often as I can...it might not be very exciting cause there is really nothing fun or exciting about bedrest...lol I will try. Tonight our ward is throwing me and two other gals a baby shower so that will be fun..I have been resting a lot the last couple days so I can feel up to going tonight and interact..OH YES I need adult interaction...and different scenery. :-)
