Final Countdown

Well, it is just one week away until our baby boy will join our family. I still feel like there is so much to do to feel "ready". Really, a lot of it isn't super necessary, but things I want done. I guess it is the "nesting" stage. I have been nervous to go to #3, but I am starting to get more excited to meet this new little boy (who still remains nameless!). Colby is excited to meet him. Of course he has some suggestions on names....being:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Sonny
Cannee (he made that one up himself)
Carson just says "baby" and points to my stomach, and even gives my tummy an occasional kiss. So sweet! My sister, Renae arrives this weekend. My dad and sister, Rhonda arrive next Saturday. We are going to have plenty of help. THANK YOU! We are blessed.

It's Just A Name, Right?

Well, 10 days until our little boy arrives and we are still without a name for him. Yikes! We have a few names we like, but nothing that sounds right. With Colby and Carson, we knew their names and felt good about them before they arrived. So this is strange to me. I guess we just have to see him to know for sure. Wish us luck!

A Stressed Mom No More

Before I left for Wash., I was struggling so much with being a patient mom and felt a lot how this mom looks! I don't know if it is being pregnant, still dealing with my mom's death and a few other things. I am sure it is the combination. So the break couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I was rejuvinated. Then to make it even better, Crystal (my sister-in-law) wanted to take Colby for a week. THANK YOU!!!! He left for their house the night they picked me up from the airport. So, I miss him! It has been about two weeks since I have really seen him. So Carson has been the only child for the last week and he is loving every minute of it! And so am I! I haven't lost my cool once and it has been so nice to have one on one time with him. So, it has been great to ease back into motherhood. I went from no kids in Wash., to one, to two on Thurs. and then three in two weeks. I think this has really helped me be a little more calm and prepared for this third little boy to join our family. So, thank you Nate for letting my go to Wash. and THANK YOU, Crys, for taking our Colbs for a week. I love you guys!!!!
