Girls names

Here is where the girl names are from: Sable is Keri's favorite name. Rene' is Keri's moms maiden name. River is a name we both really like, and Noel is after Keri's sister, Stacy Noel. Anika is a character from the Pipi Longstocking books (Dad used to read them to me and Stacy) Joely is after Joel. Margaret is for Joels grandma Hills and Marie because it's Keris and her moms middle name. We love all of these names.

This is how cute the kid will be...

8 weeks

I'm feeling extra sick today... I hope to fall asleep early. Joel has been a huge help. He goes to the grocerey store with odd new things on the list every time.

bored

I don't have anything going on until school starts in a month. My plans include a birthday party, a dinner party and a pile of books that I'm going through quickly. I'll be at the end of my first trimester when school starts so the timing is excellent. I'm trying not to drive at all because I'm off of my Seizure medication.

Mmmmm.....

Caine

My nephew Caine is 7 years old and at disney land with my mom. Today they found the wishing well and Caine threwin a coin. When my mom asked him what he had wished for he said "I wish my cousin was here." (This baby will be his first cousin) Caine is such a thoughtful kid, I'm very proud to be his Aunt.

About the Aries Child
A Natural Born Leader - Aries children are always pushing ahead of the pack. With an "Are we there yet?" outlook, they are impatient to arrive and get started already! Aries children possess a passionate, creative, and restless nature. They seem to have more energy than other children, with a vitality that's matched only by their natural bravery. Their "me first" attitude can be a challenge for anyone who has to contend with their high spirits and frequent self-absorption. Legendary for their straightforward honesty, Aries children tell it like they see it. They can overstep boundaries because they're naturally impulsive and tend not to look before they leap.

Aries children have a hard time keeping their emotions under control, but there's a positive side to this: They don't hold a grudge. Once the fireworks are over, so is their anger. Since Aries children are great at starting grand projects but not as keen on sticking with them, you'll need to be patient as you guide your child gently but firmly, helping her stay on track. Also make sure she gets plenty of exercise. Any vigorous activity will be an excellent outlet for her energy, and if it's a competitive sport, so much the better. But be sure she wears a helmet or any other essential safety gear. In their eternal hurry, Aries children tend to be accident-prone.

6 weeks, 5 days

Does it look more like me or Joel?

Joel Junior

So far I go to bed and wake up early (just like Joel) I get hungry quick and crave Beer brawts (just like Joel) There's going to be two Joels!!! (Thank god he's so handsome)

234 days left

I'm starting to feel sick now... it's a relief to FEEL pregnant. Joel has started to worry about dismanteling his office to make it into the baby's room. Our house seems smaller.

ZZZzzzzzzzz.....

Fatigue hit today. I had a 5 hour nap. I can't believe how tired I am, and so quickly.

6 Weeks

I got my test results back and my "Levels are rising nicely" which means I'm still pregnant. It has a heartbeat now. I feel great!

What's with all th e Sean Aric Todd votes?

Nervous

So now that we've told everyone, I'm really nervous about having another miscarriage. My Doctors say I'm fine, I'm just scared. I wasn't with the last ones. (Sticky sticky sticky)

The boy names

I'm getting questions about the names so here is where they're from. Clifton is Joel's paternal grandpa, Michael is my dad. John Henry is Joels dad. The last name we like is all middle names for Joel and his brothers; Joel Sean, Jevon Aric (I spelled it wrong sorry Jev) and Jonathan Todd. We want a name that fits preschool age to 90 years old. We are open to suggestions

Ultrasound today

So the US showed that I'm actually 5 weeks pregnant, not 7. Everything looks perfect though. "Sticky" seems to be sticking just fine. I also had blood work done today to check my "levels". I am nervous...

P.S. I'm not having twins.

The news is out

Ok, So most everyone knows. I've seen all my doctors and they say not to worry. I'm eating great and napping regularly. At the bottom of the page is a baby countdown (cute!) so it's easy to keep track. Love you all!

Baby Hills

I just found out that I'm 7 weeks pregnant. We have been trying for almost five years and we had just started an adoption. We still plan to adopt. We love kids, the more the better. We've felt unlucky for so long, it's wonderful to feel this blessed again. Everyone think "sticky"
