Name Change VOTE

After this weekend, and talking with my sweet husband we have decided, maybe, not to name this baby girl Leah as first reported. Instead, we are thinking more towards Phoebe Jill. We are open to any input. It's now a toss up between Leah Jill and Phoebe Jill...Gracie likes both so that is good. And Lilly can say both names so we are good there as well. I guess we'll see when she comes out.

WHAT IS YOUR VOTE??

No Pain no Gain???

WELL,
I OVER DID IT. (AGAIN) WE ARE GETTING NEW FLOORING IN THE KITCHEN THE NEXT TWO DAYS SO WE HAD TO MOVE ALL THE STUFF OUT OF OUR KITCHEN TO GET IT READY FOR THE DEMO OF OUR FLOOR. WELL, BLAKE HAS HAD TO WORK MON-WED UNTIL LATE...IT NEEDED TO BE DONE SO....I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO MOVE THE TABLE & CHAIRS, THE BIG BLUE HUTCH, DRESSER, DESK AND OF COURSE THE FRIDGE. AS A RESULT I AM IN A WORLD OF HURT TODAY. I KNOW I KNOW, PREGNANT LADIES AREN'T SUPPOSE TO MOVE HEAVY THINGS LIKE A 200 POUND FRIDGE...BUT, IT NEEDED TO BE MOVED. NO EXCUSES I KNOW.

LILLY WAS UP HALF THE NIGHT. BLAKE STAYED UP WITH HER SINCE I HAD TO WORK TODAY AND I WAS IN SOME PAIN LAST NIGHT FROM MY MOVING. HE'S PRETTY TIRED TODAY. GOOD THING FOR HIM IS THAT GRACIE IS GOING TO PLAY WITH MY NIECE FOR HALF OF THE DAY SO SHE CAN BE OUT OF THE GUYS WAY WHEN THEY RIP UP OR FLOORING. TONIGHT WE ARE PAINTING THE REST OF THE KITCHEN RED AND IF I HAVE ENOUGH FIGHT IN ME I MIGHT EVEN START ON THE CUPBOARDS. WE'LL SEE. I'LL POST PICTURES OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER.

BABY LEAH UPDATE

HAD A DOC APT MON AND YESTERDAY. THE BABY IS DEFIANTLY A GIRL. NO QUESTION! I AM SURE WE ARE GOING TO CALL HER LEAH. LEAH JILL. SHE IS PERFECT SIZE. I HAVE ONLY GAINED ONE POUND IN A MONTH SO THAT IS GOOD. WENT IN FOR MY SUGAR TEST YESTERDAY AS WELL...I ALREADY KNOW I AM DIABETIC SO AFTER THE RESULTS COME BACK THEY WILL JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE INSULIN AT NIGHT TO KEEP ME REGULAR DURING MY FASTING TIME. MY BLOOD PRESSURE LOOKS GREAT. BUT HE'S CONCERNED WITH MY DEPRESSION. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PAINS IN MY TUMMY HE SAID THAT COULD BE DUE TO STRESS. THAT I SHOULD TRY TO TAKE AS MUCH STRESS OUT OF MY LIFE OR HE WILL BE FORCES TO PUT ME DOWN FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. (NOT GOOD THAT WOULD ADD TO MY STRESS) ALSO, I NEED TO STEP AWAY FROM MY DESK WHEN THE BABY IS ACTIVE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. IT COULD BE DUE TO STRESS. SO NOW AFTER THAT APPOINTMENT I AM STRESSED.

**update** Just got a call from the nurse and sure enough my sugar is high. They are calling me in some insulin (6 units only at night). I also have to do my finger test wake up, 1 hr after meals and before I go to bed. Oh what joy. It's all for the greater good....right?

Painting the Bathroom toddler style!

We are redoing the bathroom since we have a hole in our tile... we are painting, replacing the tub and tile. So, I let the girls take a turn at painting the tub. They had a Blast...

TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH A 3 YEAR OLD

This was my phone conversation today with Gracie after getting in trouble for bugging her sister. (i am at work and the girls are with Blake today.)

"HI MOMMY WHATCHA DOIN?"
"WORKING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"BUGGING MY SISTER"
"WHY ARE YOU BUGGING LILLY?"
"BECAUSE I LOVE HER"
"WELL YOU DON'T NEED TO BUG HER BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER. YOU CAN JUST LOVE HER."
**SILENCE**
"BUT MOM, THAT ISN'T AS FUN."

Like my friend said, "To a 3 year old that makes perfect sense"
