8-weeks

Wow, so it is a race between Sam and Jacob...huh!! Hmmm, I don't know why I posted that poll. I guess DH and I are really torn on what to name BP2. When I was pregnant with Miss J, and we thought it was a boy, we really had our heart set on William (Will) John. After my father, who passed Feb 16th, 2001, and after DH's father, who passed August 24th, 2007. That was what we were going with, until we found out it was a girl. Then we had to start all over. But when we found Miss J's name, we just knew that was it. No questions, we both agreed. Now, with BP2, we can't decide.

Will, with our last name, sounds a little odd (why it sounded OK when we were going to name Miss J that, I don't know). So DH really like Jacob, so we thought we would do Jacob William John, still honoring our dads. But that always makes me think of that kids song, "John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt". So then we are trying other names.

Sam came up in coversation and DH kind of went, hmmm, that sounds nice. But not that ding ding ding ding name. And Charlie, well I just threw that in there because that is what my mom is calling him, why, I don't know, she just is.

So we still don't know, we might pick a couple and see when he is born what he looks more like. I wish we had a name that just jumped out at us...but, we don't.

This weekend we are challenged with moving all the stuff out of the office, into DH's (spare) bedroom and getting the crib and stuff set up in there for BP2. I am so excited to get that done. I really want to have a room to say is his. Not sure how Miss J is going to take it yet. If she is going to be jealous or weirded out by it....or if she will embrace it and love the idea she is getting a baby brother. We were going to move the changing table and her dresser into BP2's bedroom too, but we have yet to find a new dresser for Miss J. We really only want to spend less than $100, and anything that cheap is really cheap and flimsy. We have been looking for months and no resales have anything, and everything, even at Walmart and Target are either too expensive or pieces of crap. So, I am not sure what to do about that.

I also would like to get Miss J some new bedding for her room for her birthday (which is in 2-weeks!!). I think that might make her feel special too since we are setting up BP2's bedroom. But, not sure when we are going to have time to find something for her. Plus, I don't know what style to do. Thinking something with flowers or butterflies. Nothing themed like princesses or Miss Kitty or anything. Something simple that she won't outgrow for awhile. Just not sure what.

Oh, we also have to get some invitations for her birthday. She has been LOVING Curious George lately. So we were thinking that theme for her birthday. But, with only 2-weeks left, we really need to get some invitations out. Which is funny, do we really need invitations? It is mainly family and they all know when it is, and then another couple friend who has a son who is 1-week older than Miss J, and another friend from her school. But they already know the date too. So why the invitations??? I don't know??? Can't figure that one out yet. Maybe I will pass on that. Just email. Ugh...I don't know.

8-weeks!!

That is how much longer before BP2 arrives!! I cannot believe it. Blows my mind to think in less than two months he will be here. Wow, talk about a life changing thing. There are so many ladies that have had their babies during the past week in the blog world!! I am so excited for all of them...gets me excited to get going with the labor and delivery!! Not really, but kind of. I want to know if it will hurt as much this time, if I will need an epidural or if I will be able to be au'natural this time. Will my water break, will he grace his presence early, will I be so miserable during the last 4-weeks that I will do anything to make it happen NOW!! I don't know. This pregnancy has been so different. I hope the labor and delivery will be different too.

I have my next doc appt on Tuesday. I think my weight has been doing pretty well, and I am excited to see if he is head down already. I think he is, because I often feel thumps in my lower area, sometimes hiccups, and I feel jabs in my ribs and sides. I think he sometimes gets sideways and head up too...those are the days I feel horrible. I have heartburn and retaining so much water and just feel like my stomach is in my throat. Then I do some cat stretches and pelvic tilts and he seems to reposition himself and I feel better. I have also soaked in a epsom salt bath...and that seems to help with the swelling. I need to do that more often because just the bath itself it nice and relaxing.

I also have an ultrasound on Tuesday. I am excited to see what he looks like now that he has gotten bigger and more fat on him. Hopefully we can get some 3-d pics of his great features!!

I guess that is enough rambling for today. Lots going on in the blog world...and at the same time, not that much!!

Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend!!
