Animal Party

I am planning on putting the baby toys in this organizer and doing something else for Ben's toys (probably totes). We've had a talk already about keeping his toys picked up and shutting his door when the baby starts crawling. Can we all say CHOKING HAZARDS!!
We cleaned Ben's room up today and I thought I'd take some pics of his room in the new house. He chose Lightning McQueen for a theme and got big boy bunk beds. He sleeps on bottom, but his many stuffed animals hang out on top. He likes to have "animal parties" where they all play together :) Not always nicely though, usually the Star War figurines or Bionicle guys are beating up the animals!

Baby Belly

Our little boy is quickly running out of room. I am all baby in front like a basketball, and I'm happy I haven't gained as much weight this time as I did with Ben. I can't imagine growing anymore in the next six weeks. If you think I look small in this picture it's only because there are no normal sized people standing next to me! Benjamin was 9 lbs, 2 oz. so I'm hoping this baby boy is a little smaller!

Blog Background

Will somebody please call or e-mail me and walk me through how to change the background on our blog??? I'm SOOO Tired of the same old thing. I'm not tech savvy enough to figure it out on my own and my hubby is no help.

Midnight Madness

Most nights I get up at least twice to go to the bathroom...no big deal I go right back to sleep usually. But not last night...I started planning out the rest of my week with what all needed to get done. I wouldn't say I'm nesting because I don't have the burst of energy to actually accomplish my long to-do list. A peek into my mind in the middle of the night:

8 weeks to go before baby (if he doesn't come early)... I haven't unpacked the baby clothes from storage yet. That made me think of the garage which we need to organize so I can park my car inside for the hot summer months. Which reminded me that I need to make an appointment to get my infant carrier installation inspected (the hospital does this for free) Oh yeah, the hospital, maybe I should call and get a tour/pre-admission set up....

I finally got up and watched TV for a while!

No Name Baby

Okay so I'm due in about 2 months and we've had 7 months to come up with a name but NOTHING so far. I didn't even waste thinking time on the issue until the ultrasound. I was hoping for a girl just because we both like about 15 girl names and we would be trying to narrow it down. But Ben got his wish for a little brother instead and we cannot come up with a name!! It is such a big decision, they are stuck with it for their whole life! There are some that I like, but none that I love. And the ones I like Will does not, and vice versa. I would feel a lot better about things if we had a name chosen. I'm terrified of some freak preterm labor thing and the hospital demanding a name for the birth certificate and having to make a last minute decision. Feel free to write in suggestions or ideas. So far I have looked in a baby name book, the 2008 top 100 names, the Book of Mormon, and my family tree. Praying for inspiration, Stephanie.

Finally Settled In

My mom visited over Easter and I enlisted her help to hang pictures on the wall. So now 7 months after our move, our house is starting to feel like a home. Almost all of the boxes are unpacked (there are a couple of MISC ones left in the garage) and everything almost has a place. It's hard to move and find new homes for things. "A place for everything, and everything in it's place" I'm waiting for warmer weather and for Will to actually be home to organize the garage. 9 weeks left to do anything before baby comes...
