And Baby Makes Three...

It's been a busy few weeks, as many of you know. Jeff and I are just starting to recover from the miles upon miles driven, and it doesn't look to slow down anytime soon. This week, we both are BUSY with our Masters work. The semester is wrapping up and we both have large assignments to do. Actually, let me correct myself. Jeff has A large assignment. I have MANY large assignments. I guess its a mix of procrastination and being busy, but I have put off too much to then end. I just hope I can get it all done. And, this weekend, we head out to Dickinson for my great-aunt and great-uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. It should be a great time. We will see Katie and her family, swim some, and maybe head to the zoo.

So, the title of today's blog....Baby makes three! We are pregnant with our third child. I have known for awhile, but with my history, I wait to tell people. I had my 10 week visit yesterday, and all looked well. There's a little one with a FAST heartbeat just growing and growing! I am excited, anxious, nervous, happy and scared. I was such a wreck on the way to the appointment yesterday! I was never that nervous for any of Alex's appointments! I think I just was worried that I had miscarried again. But all looked well, and hopefully, all will continue to!

So, along with the nerves, I have all kinds of feelings. Like - what will I do if it's a Girl! How do I come up with a third boys name? How do I not sleep for another few years? What will I do if its a girl :) How do I NOT gain 80+ pounds? What do I do to NOT be a wreck and drive my Dr. crazy? What do I do if it's a girl? LOL. People who do know have asked if we are really hoping for a girl, or if that's why we wanted a third. I don't understand that. I just think any baby is such a gift. I don't know why there has to be a motive for wanting to have a baby. Now granted, # 3 wasn't planned (FYI Alex wasn't either!!!) but we certainly weren't trying just on the off chance it would be a girl. It's not up to us anyways! I still am convinced I am meant to be a mom to boys...we'll see in November.

Also, as a side note. Does anyone have any great ideas for names??? In fact, lets make this a question of the day... What would be your picks for a boys name and a girls name for Paulson child 3?
