It's about time!

For the sake of living on the edge larry and I decided we would wait a bit over a day from my due date to figure out our unborn child's name.

Yeah right.

We thought we knew she'd be named Elise but then we changed our minds again and again and again. So tonight I told larry he couldn't take a nap (he was really tired) until we nailed down a name. So...
London Elise Thorpe
That's the winner. Now all she has to do is be born. Somebody mind explaining that to her?

I'm having a what??

So, Monday night I had a very interesting dream. I was at an appointment-ish thing with a Health nut/work out guy. Why i wasn't seeing a doctor, who knows. But he continued to tell me that I was pregnant, but was having a guinea pig. Huh? yeah. ... So as time went on I started to become more and more confused. I asked him how, with Larry and I both being human, can we have a guinea pig? He explained it to me. I wish I remembered what his explanation was, but I don't. All i remember is being satisfied with his answer for just a minute and then going back to confusion. I soon started to face the facts that I was indeed having a guinea pig, and I remember wondering what color fur he would have and what not. Soon the guy came back and told me I wasn't having a guinea pig but I was having a midget! He told me that to make the news a bit easier to take he made up the guinea pig part so a midget wouldn't seem so bad. Ha. Weird.

New Bed

A lady our ward called Larry and asked if we wanted a toddler bed. We had been looking for one for a while but hadn't decided on one. Lar said sure and we picked it up yesterday - mattress and all. Reagan loved it and surprisingly slept in it the whole night hardly moving at all. I thought she would fall out because she's quite the mover but she stayed with her head on one side the whole time. Then when i woke up and looked at the monitor, she was just laying there awake. She didn't even get out of bed! Hopefully it stays like that.

10 days to go!

So obviously i suck at taking pictures and can't even get myself centered. but to my defense, i am taking a picture on the phone and it's really hard to press the button with one hand. oh well, at least you can see my big belly...40lbs later. Ha! I just keep putting em on. There's no stopping me!!! Mua-ha ha!!

And just because, here's reagan wishing ya'll a merry chirstmas a bit early. She likes bubbles. I don't know what her facial expression is all about. Ha.

Seriously???

oh my goodness.

So i had a big slap in the face on Sunday. How did i not realize i was so close to my due date?!! I kept thinking I had almost a month. I think my "logic" was that it was the beginning of August and my due date was the end of August. Well, time sure crept up on my fast. I have, now, less than 2 weeks until my due date. AND if this birth is anything like Reagan, she came almost a week early. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THAT MEANS??!!! I can be going into labor in a week!!!! Yikes. So, yesterday - realizing that I'm not close to being ready - was spent organizing, packing and washing. Still more to finish today. Then I kept having dreams that I was having contractions. There was a few times I woke up in pain but I don't know if it was the stress of my dreams or just serious Braxton Hicks contractions. My goodness. Wish me luck.
