Where is the time going?


As I sit here and watch this little baby count down thing on my site, I realize more and more each day that my other little baby is growing up too fast. Brody is going to be two on Sunday and I can't believe it. It really has been fun to have a little boy around here. He has been the only one out of the kids that demands kisses after falling, never cries, just needs a kiss. He literally jumps for joy when I walk in a room..."mommy, hi mommy, there you are mommy..." who wouldn't love that. He pats my belly everyday to remind me that he knows it's called a "baby" and than asks me, "you okay mommy".

Of course not all moments are so tender and fun, he is definitely a stubborn little guy to say that least and has had some terrible moments. Recently we were out to eat and we had to wake him up out of his car seat to bring him in. After we had been eating for a few minutes and had given up trying to get him to try something, I glanced at him in his highchair and he was giving all of us the dirtiest look ever. This is something he has perfected, but of course none of us could keep from laughing, his expression was priceless, I wish I had my camera.

I'm really starting to get excited about this new baby coming into the world soon. We were relieved to find out the other day that we will not need to have a planned c-section, I have to say it that way because Bryan reminded me that anything can happen, you never know. He is right, but for now, the placenta is no longer covering the entire cervix (complete previa, which I had at 20wks). It has politely stepped to the side making it possible for me to plan on a normal delivery. I was so relieved, I don't know if I could have handled recovering from a c-section and taking care of 5 kids. It has put my mind at ease, not that the taking care of 5 kids part sounds easy, I'm still a little unsure about that. Now if I can just figure out the best names for this baby, this has been a task for us. I was about to settle on Mickey for a boy and Minnie for a girl the other day!! If you have any good suggestions (not that you would send me your bad ones) shoot them my way.

I know what you mean about kids growing up too fast! Don't you wish they could stay small and cute forever? I am always saying that to Allie. I'm glad that you are doing better with the pregnancy. Not too much longer, my friend!

If my last was going to be a boy I was going to use Jackson. I noticed not too many people are using Raymond anymore.
Some of my other girl names were, Carly, Clarissa, Bella.
Hope that helps!
Don't think I need the use for names anymore, how sad!

You almost convinced me to pull the birth control and have another one. jk......
Hey what about the name Tessie for a girl or Teddy for a boy. Those are cute. He could be Teddy Joe for Grandpa Jo......

I just saw a cute name on a friends site, Karver, for a boy. Alyson is pretty for a girl. Anyways, I was in FF this weekend and saw Jenna and it made me miss hanging out with you. I wish you well and am glad to hear that the baby and you are doing better.
