Baby names???

Ok, so in my state of needing to help pass time I want to start a little name guessing game. I know that you don't know if it is a boy or a girl, so you will need to guess a girl name and a boy name even if you are SURE it is one or the other.

You will have to leave you guesses in the comment section of the blog so all can enjoy and take part in the fun.

When I say ALL that is what I mean. There are many people who check this blog who never leave a comment which is perfectly fine, but for this game I am asking you to participate.

Let's see how many people we can get to take part in this blog post. I think our record is 16 comments.

Can't wait to see your guesses. Maybe I give a reward to anyone who guesses the right name.

Still here

I really have nothing to post - I just don't want you all thinking that we aren't posting because we are up at the hospital and not telling you. We aren't we are still here at home.

Much to my dismay - I will be returning to work this week (ESY -or- Summer School) and will do so for the whole week if our baby doesn't come first.

Well, that is really it for us.

BRANDI - has been here for a week now and is doing pretty good. She actually was symptom free for 8 hours yesterday which was amazing. She has an appointment with another neurologist at the end of this month. We just keep praying her symptoms will disappear.

It's official

We didn't have any fireworks today - our baby will not share its birthday with the Red, White, and Blue.

I shouldn't say we didn't have any fireworks we actually got to see some beautiful fireworks by our nieces, nephews, and the Conaways. We had a really good Fourth of July, which is good since it will be our last holiday as a family of two.

Still waiting for 'the phone call' - until then we are going to try to get some sleep. :)

baby quilt

Well, we are still waiting. There is not much going on other than cleaning and well, preparing. I think we are good to go. The only thing we really have left is to take our baptism class - which we will be doing on Tuesday night and to schedule the baptism, which I plan on doing on Monday.

I did go to my Grandma Ginia's house a couple to times to work on the baby quilt I made for our child. I am SOOOO excited to say it is done and I think it turned out really great. It is a warm blanket so it is not one we will use for a while, but I'm sure it will get good use later.

It is a raggedy quilt.


This is the raggedy side of the quilt - which is the front or right side.




This is the back side or the smooth side of the quilt. Mark likes this side better.


I hope you all like it because I got a blister on my finger from all the cutting.

doctors appointment

Hello,

Well she called me to let me know that she is now dialated to a 3 and 1/2!!! Not much more, but more none the less. She is doing well, but still no contractions :(

We also found out that they have set an inducement date. If she hasn't had this baby by the 14th we will be going in at 5 o'clock a.m. that morning to be induced. There was no openings on the 13th :( They did tell her that if there becomes an opening on the 13th she can move into it. We can still pray that she will go into natural labor before then, but if not we know by the 14th we will have out baby.

Please pray that she will be able to have this baby naturally and as soon as possible.

Thanks and have a good fourth!!!

(to sign up for meals go to the post called food/dinner - it was in June - thanks for asking Kim)

So excited

I am getting so excited and anxious to hear from the birth mother. I think her appointment was at 3:45, but can't remember for sure.

She still may not call till later this evening, hopefully I can wait for her to call me so I don't bother her by calling her.

I'll let you know.

Also, thanks to everyone who signed up to bring us meals. We are SOOOO excited they all sound delicious. Also, please know you are welcome to stay and eat the meal with us when you come.

Lunch

Lunch went really well!!! The birth mother texted me right before I was leaving and asked if we minded if her mother joined us. Of course I said that would be fine. It was nice getting to meet her as she will be up at the hospital on the big day as well. We did find out that she will be delivering at the hospital and not at the birthing center.

Probably the most exciting thing though is that she gave us sonogram pictures. I will share one with you now!!!





We also found out that due to the Fourth of July she will be going to the doctor tomorrow instead of Friday. The birth mother said she would contact me to let me know how it goes. Her appointment isn't until the late afternoon, but I will post after I hear from her.

We are still requesting prayers for:
1) The baby to be healthy
2) The birth mother
3) A quick and painless delivery
4) Patience
5) Peace

THANKS!!!
