This girl LOVES to accessorize! What a little diva!
When she saw this picture, she said, "Ree-Ann colored on herself!"
Making me some breakfast. She asked me to help put on her "Rapunzel Hair" first thing!

The Name Game
These are only the suggested names - we have not even "narrowed" the list. I just thought it would be fun to capture some of the names that have been thrown around. And they are in no particular order...
Jenny likes:
Ronny has mentioned:
RC wants:
Jenny likes:
- Avery Lynn
- Abby Gayle
- Annie Grace
- Julianne (Julie Anne)
- Jeanne Marie
- Natalie
- Eva Lynn
- Victoria
- Emily
- Tori Lynn
Ronny has mentioned:
- Leann (Leigh Ann?)
- Kendra
- Gertrude
RC wants:
- Annie (like Jack & Annie from Magic Treehouse); so that when she is 6 they can have magic treehouse adventures together...and because it is so cute and his baby sister will be so cute
- Lorena (pronounced LoWEEna) - RC mentioned this name to Ronny and I late Tuesday night; then on Wednesday night without being prompted he prayed, "God bless Mommy, and Daddy, me and brother Kyle (used to be baby Kyle), and Baby LoWEEna..." I interrupted, "RC, her name is not Lorena. We haven't decided on her name yet." He replied, "Well, can't I just call her LoWEEna until you pick a name?" Tonight (Thursday), he prayed for LoWEEna again...pausing only to see if I was going to correct him. It won't stick!

So, are you hoping for a girl this time...and other questions I hear frequently!
Are you hoping for a girl this time?
How can I answer that 100% truthfully? Of course, I want a daughter. I'd love to have a girl! But, knowing that my thoughts are not God's thoughts, and that His ways are perfect, and He knows what is best for me and my family, I trust Him! and besides, as I've tried to teach my boys, "You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit!"
Do I have a gut feeling? I've dreamt twice about this little baby, and both times it was a boy, and his name is Andrew. *And I should mention that while I was pregnant with the two boys, I always dreamed that I was having a girl (both times). I had the thought that if it is a girl, I will miss the little boy, Andrew, that I met in my dreams. Maybe that was my subconscience preparing me just in case so that I don't feel disappointed.
Others have had dreams about a girl in my life, and one friend at church insists that she just KNOWS this is a girl. Another friend, who has a track record of only being wrong on 1 guess ever, says it's another boy. Even the Chinese and the crazy facebook quiz say probably a boy. So, as for "gut feelings" - I don't trust anything.
My cravings are very different than with Kyle or RC, but they were each different from each other. My sickness is different (not much actual vomitting, just LOTS of nausea, and no indigestion). I'm losing weight like I did with the others, and "carrying" pretty much the same, just showing much sooner. I feel bigger - wider, really - but I am starting out heavier than I did before. So who knows. These things don't mean a hill of beans either.
I would say, for the record, that if this is a girl, I hope that she holds out until her due date of February 4th. Not many pregnant women want to go until the very end, but I wouldn't mind for this one insignificant, but sentimental, reason: we would share a birthstone (my birthday is 2/14, her's would be 2/4). I still have a lot of amethyst jewelry that would be so fun to pass down to a little girl. If this is a boy, he can come early if he likes - I won't protest. If I have 3 sons, I'll pray for a grand-daughter or daughter-in-law who has a February birthday, and share my birthstone then. It's silly, but it is something that I thought would be neat.
On Tuesday, September 8th, we are having a sonogram, and hopefully we'll find out then. I really hope to know, because the next day Ronny leaves for Africa and I'd like to be able to clean out and organize for this baby while he's gone. I have 4 boxes of baby boy clothes left over from Kyle that need a home (either the baby's room or someone else's home), and I'm ready to get started on all of that. I'd also like to settle on a name, although Ronny is probably glad that he'll have some time away from me reading to him from the baby name book like I did with Kyle. I really do like the name Andrew or Abby Gayle...
But for today, I wait, and I try to be patient. Oh, and as for other questions - are you tired? are you hot? are you sick? do you feel the baby moving yet? The answers are all: YES!

Picture of Baby
I had another sonogram at this doctor's visit, to check on a cyst that was on my left ovary at the last visit. The cyst was gone (never was worried), but it was a good excuse to see my baby again and this time get a picture.
Here you are, little one! We could see your heartbeating and the outline of your face. I wonder what your name is?

By the calendar, I am 11 weeks, 1 day. By the size on the sonogram, 10 weeks, 6 days + or - 4 days....ha! My due date is set officially for 2/4/10. Very cool!

3rd times a charm, or my 3 sons?
I was suspicious about a week ago, but that test was negative (it was a little too soon). I took this test without Ronny knowing, in case it was a false alarm, but this time it was positive RIGHT away. I waited and waited for Ronny to get up out of bed (I woke up at 6 AM to take the test, and couldn't go back to sleep). He came out of the bathroom and said, "So, what's the big idea? You think your pregnant?"
RC was so excited when we told him. That night, during his bedtime prayers, said, "And, God, can you just go ahead and tell me if this is a boy or a girl, or do I have to wait?" After he was finished praying, I said to him, "Well, what did God say?" And he pouted and said, "He said I have to wait!!"
