We can't pick a name and settle on it to save our lives! Well...mainly we pick a name, but then I want to change it because I think too much about it. I think once we know what it is...We will be able to settle.
It also doesn't help that no one really likes our names...oh well. After all it is my kiddo so I should pick a name that I like...Right?
Well, just in case all you readers out there are interested here is what we have so far...
We like all of these, but just can't decide.
Girl Names:
Annabelle Reese (Evan's Grandmother *Osmer* first name is Anna). Initials AOR
Cheyenne Lee or Leigh (Evan's Grandmother *Brakefield* middle name is Lee) Initials COL
Presley Allen (My grandmother's *Sanders* maiden last name, my mom's middle name,
and my middle name is Allen)Initials POA
Lily Kate (My great-grandmother's name; Lily Kate Farmer) Initials LOK
These are just a mixture of *Old and Modern* Names I like them all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Boys:
Judson Alexander (Both name's are on Evan's side of the family. Judson was a Baptist Preacher and a Civil War Solider, and Alexander was his son). Initials JOA
Bradley Evan (Of course Evan...is after Evan) Initials BOA
We also like Colt and Stetson, but no middle names...yet
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ugh. Well, that's it. So HOPEFULLY Baby Osmer's Name is up there. I would prefer this child have SOME kind of family name either in their name or as a part of their middle name. Maybe I'll just throw them in a hat and pick. Decisions ... Decisions... Any comments?
I know our names aren't popular, but I'm not trying to win a popularity contest here. I just want the name to be strong, original, but not common.
Can't wait for Saturday! I was feeling girl, but now I just don't know. At least I have a 50/50 guess! :)
What are your predictions? Boy or Girl?

Busy Bee!
Sorry I didn't post last week, but in my defense we did start school and I was so tired after each day. I'm starting to get into the grove of things now!
School is going great! I've got a talk-a-tive bunch, but love each and everyone of them! I have a GREAT class. SO excited about this year!
Well, last week Evan and I went to our 14 week check-up. The doctor said everything looked great and I was measuring right on track! I've gained a total of 3 lbs...even though it looks like I've gained 23 lbs! My body has definitely reshaped and I have a defined baby bump now. :) The heartbeat was strong at 164!
At 14 weeks our baby was the size of a lemon! Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.--The bump.
Now we are 15 weeks and our baby is the size of a naval orange! Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now out measure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.-- The bump.
Well, I know I have felt the baby. Call me crazy...oh well...but I have felt the baby maybe a total of 3 times and each time I was either laying down or being really still. It just felt like a little popcorn kernel popping or something along those lines.
Here is a picture of me at 15 weeks. I know it's not the same dress as I have worn before, but I had this dress on and I was tired because it was like 11 at night! So, next time I'll post in that dress so you can see the difference. But trust me our little nugget is growing!
This weekend we are finally cleaning out the nursery room! WAHOOO! I can't wait to get the room emptied!! Next week, we will be 16 weeks and we are going to Babywaves on Saturday to see our baby for the first time since 7 weeks!! We are also going to find out what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO excited! Then after we get back I will have my 18 week appointment with my doctor's office which we get to see our little one again! :) Can't wait to fill up that baby book with his/her precious photos! Sometime next week be sure to tell us your predictions! :D

Kitty Drama...and it isn't me!
Well, now that I'm pregnant my interaction with Tide has not completely went away, but it has toned down quite a bit. Mainly because I'm trying to get him used to less attention because when the baby gets here I don't want him to feel too left out. So, if I don't really give him alot of attention now, he most likely will not notice it later. IDK...just my theory and I didn't want to mess with him too much because of the dreaded fear of toxoplasmosis which cats are prone too. BUT tide has always been an indoor cat and has never ate a dead bird or rat...and the fact that he NEVER goes outside of a 78 degree temperature I figured the chances of him actually having it where pretty slim. So to be on the safe side, my doctor went ahead and tested me for it! Good news...I don't have it! :)
Any rate...I am still not allowed to change the cat box, but I still get other cat jobs. One of those jobs includes giving him a bath. Ugh this is such a chore. Here is why...because I have to get him in the tub and make him stay in there, wash him down, get him out, dry him off, blow dry him, brush him, and then clean up the mess in the tub as well as wash all the towels I used. So, I decided to call the vet to see how much they charge to bathe and defunk a cat. The receptionist said $10, but he has to be updated on all his shots before going back with the other animals. I was like okay no big deal because he needs those anyway. Then I asked her about how much my final bill would be and she said about $56. Well, I was like wahoo. A $10 bath is worth not having to put up with all that mess, and the other amount is a one time fee for his shots! Cool Beans.
NOT. I set up his appointment for the next day at 9. She told me not to let him eat after 9 just in case they need to sedate him. Okay well I wasn't thinking they would have sedate him because he 1 has no claws and 2 he isn't mean.
I drop him off at 9 and yes he is a little scared because I guess he senses he is not in a familiar setting. I tell him bye and the lady said they'd call when he was ready to go home. I was like that is fine because I'm going to work in my classroom. Well, its like 1:30 and I haven't heard from them, so I call the vet. He isn't ready yet because they had to sedate him. Pick him up after five. What?! After five? Why? Well, we just want to make sure he is okay when he wakes up. Okay.
So, I go to the vet after five to pick up my clean cat and I'm thinking I'm just gonna run in pay and go home...so I leave the car running. NOPE. I walk in and tell the lady I'm picking up Tide. So, she goes back to see if he's ready. Then goes to a patient room and turns on the light. Next, she motions for me telling me that the doctor would like to speak with me. I told her I didn't need to speak with her because I was just picking him up, and she said well she still wants to talk to you. I roll my eyes and say well, I wonder why. I'm thinking seriously!!?!?!? I KNOW MY CAT IS FAT! HELLO, I live with him!
So, I run outside and turn off my car. Go back inside to meet with this vet. Well, she's tied up at the moment so she sends out a tech. I was like whats going on? She began to tell me how he is severely obese. I said laughing...you don't say. Then I asked well, what is his magic number? She said 25.5. Then I said well he's lost .5 Lbs since we were here last, and that's progress! Please tell me what I should do? She begins to explain how they sell this food. I interrupt her and explain he is on that food. Then she goes on to say...well there is another food. I just throw my hands up and say NO. He isn't going on another type of food sorry. She said well we will keep trying this food and if it doesn't work we can check his thyroid. I was like... whatever.
Then, I proceed to checkout to find that I have been baited and switched. Talk about POED... you have no idea. I was thinking my bill would be about 60ish $ after tax. NOPE...OVER $100. I WAS LIKE WHAT FOR?!!!!!!!!!
Shots...Sedation...Canine fee for bathing him because he is "overweight"...Bathing and grooming fee...and a Flee pill (which I did ask for)...Aoy!
Sedation...why is that $45?!!!!!!!!!! Because they put him in a gas chamber. A GAS CHAMBER?!?!?!!! WHAT?! Are you serious! That is just plain ridiculous. I'm never coming back here again...other than to get his food...until I can buy it somewhere else...
Finally, they bring him out and he is crying and hissing. I was like Hey Tide, and he looked at me like... I HATE YOU B*a! I get him home and realize...oh he isn't even dry! GRRrr. I wanted to go back up there and give them a piece of my mind, but they were closed. The rest of the night and a few days later...Tide would not go down stairs...The day after his visit he stayed in bed all day. Poor Kitty!
Switching gears here. Lately I feel like such an old lady. I mean, I already do things like watch the news or old T.V. shows. Today, I went to work came home turned on the news, ate dinner in my chair, with my blanket, and proceeded to watch Wheel-Of-Fortune! HA! I was like...I'm getting old...oh dear!
Seriously though...I ROCK at game shows. Whether it be Wheel-Of-Fortune, Family Feud, Price is Right or even Let's Make a Deal. My current favorite show is Let's Make a Deal with Wayne Brady because I'm not even kidding...I win every time! HAHA! Yeah, yeah. I know what your thinking how do you win every time... because I tell the people what prizes they should go for or what not to do. I'm right about 90% of the time. Just ask Evan he was listening to me one morning! HA! It was soo funny. He was like SOO this is what you do every morning. I was like pretty much I watch this show and eat breakfast in bed!! :) Love Summers! Maybe one day I'll be a contestant!! :D

13 weeks
Well, we are on our way out of the first trimester! Whoop Whoop!
Here is a picture of me at 13 weeks!
As you can tell, I look pretty tired. This was taken after "Meet the Teacher" night at school.
How big is the baby? A Peach!
Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)--The Bump.
Okay maybe I'm crazy, but I swear I felt the baby move last night. I was laying in bed on my side of course and I was just lying very still. Then all of a sudden it felt like a piece of popcorn popping in my tummy. My first thought was maybe its gas, but it wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo cool!
Well, I finally did it. My first nursery purchase! A leather elephant bookend! I just thought that it was cute and it would go in a boys room or a girls room. :)
What's new... Everything. Hormones still going like crazy. Poor Evan. Acne is going away! Yea! Still haven't gained any more weight other than around a lb, but my body is still reshaping and my pants don't fit anymore.
Cravings? Mexican food and fruit like honeydew/cantelope. Oh, today I went by buybuy baby which is the most coolest store ever and Gigis. I promoise I was only going to eat half on my red velvet cupcake...but once I started eating it I had to finish it. SOOO good. Too much icing, but still delicious.
Sorry it is a short post...gotta run get some cat food for the fatty cuz he is starrrrrvvinnn. BTW I'll have to tell you the recent vet story later....SHEESH! Let's just say he was tramuatized for a few days...poor kitty. Adios!
