Getting close, 8 days.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and found out that I should make it until my scheduled c-section. I was only dilated to a one and the doctor didn't anticipate me processing to much. They have moved my c-section up a day (March 25th) so we're hoping that it actually happens that day. The kids are extremely excited and we're just trying to get everything ready. Plus, we can't wait for all the Grandmas that are coming to help. Travel Safe!

6 weeks and counting

This pregnancy has gone by extremely fast and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I'm having a baby in six weeks. We're scheduled for a c-section March 26Th.

I have so much that I need to get done and no motivation. I've been extremely blessed with my other three children to have my mom close by. With all my other pregnancies my mom would come visit for a weekend, about six weeks before I was due, and help me get ready. All I had to do was make a list and it happened. The most fabulous thing was I got all the stuff done that you normally would never get taken care of...fridge and freezer cleaned, carpets cleaned, fans and base boards wiped cleaned, bathrooms made spotless, every closet/ garage organized and any other odd ball thing you needed. Sadly this time around my mom is in another state and I've yet to hit that "nesting" stage. I'm simply just to tired and can't be bothered. I still have to dig the baby clothes and car seat out of the garage (they're still packed away from when we moved from Arizona!) We shall survive though and this baby is coming whether we are organized and spotless.

Sadly we still have no idea what this child will be named. Hopefully we'll figure it out before we leave the hospital. I think we'll just take the baby name book with us and play eny, meeny, miny, moe. I like a few names but all I get from Kevin is 'the look' so we shall see. Here are the ones in the running... Eli, Tucker, Henry and Oliver (Kev says absolutely no to this one because we already have and Olivia). I have a few others but these are what I feeling right now, it seems to change weekly. We're still up for any suggestions, so do share.

And last but not least here is a picture for all of you who doubt I'm really pregnant. I'm not a huge fan of fat, pregnant pictures of myself but here I am in all my glory.

We're having a ...

PUPPY! Just kidding, Kev has been teasing the kids that the "baby" is a puppy, Tilly is a little out numbered. Ryley has explained it many times that that simply can't happen.

So we had our ultrasound today and everything looks healthy and good. We'll welcome a baby BOY to our home the end of March. Ben is really excited and wants to name him either Lightning McQueen or Ben. I thought I knew what I wanted to name him but now I have no idea. I know people keep their baby names a secret so no one will steal them but if anyone cares to share I'm up for suggestions.

Cheers!

Four is More!

Well, I can finally let it out... we're having another baby. I'm 18 weeks along (4 months).

This is the main reason why I have not been up on the blogging world. I found out a week after we moved here that come March we'll have another Mayberry in our home. I was extremely nauseous the first 8 weeks and pretty much laid on the couch and did nothing. I've been trying to get unpacked and settled since I can stand now and am still recovering from the whirlwind of a trip I made back to AZ. I'm starting to feel a lot better and will hopefully stay in touch a little bit better now.

This adds a whole new spin to our already crazy year but what can you do. Ben's hoping for a baby brother!
