Five Months and Counting


Only four more months to go until we get to meet this precious bundle of joy!  We couldn't be more thrilled or blessed to be anticipating this newest addition to our family.  I feel great and have had a wonderful pregnancy thus far and pray it stays that way.  Both of my pregnancies have been super, in fact.  My only cravings seem to be for ethnic foods:  Mexican and Chinese primarily.  It is amazing how much more laid-back I am with baby #2.  Keeping up with a 2 year old certainly keeps your mind and time occupied.  When I was expecting Hadley, I worried constantly about everything.  Especially in those weeks before I could feel her move.  Is she alright?  Is everything ok?  And then when I did start feeling her move, I worried if I went too long without feeling her.  I mean, I worried about everything!  My how things have changed in round 2.  Thankful for that! 

  We have one coat of paint on the baby's room with another to follow soon, hopefully.  We also need to paint the changing table and dresser and get the rocking chair recovered.  I found the bedding set at one of my consignment sales.  I do love those!  Needless to say, we are busy with preparations for this little fellow.  Hadley is referring to him as "little brudder" and will kiss my belly.  She actually started calling him Tiny Tim recently.  Not sure where that came from...she shouldn't be familiar with "A Christmas Carol" yet.  We are still quite uncertain on a first name.  His middle name will be Dale after Justin and his dad:  Ronnie Dale and Justin Dale.  Thankful to pass on a name from two wonderful men.  And I did have a student ask me this past week what my baby's LAST name would be.  Oh my....bless her heart. I asked her to repeat her question, thinking surely she meant to ask what the first or middle name would be.  Nope, she meant LAST name.  Just for the record, it is most definitely STINSON.
