Almost 7 Months

I was checking the calendar today after a conversation with a senior about graduation when I realized that there are only 65 days left of the school year. And I still can't believe not only how quickly this school year has flown by but how quickly and easily (knock on wood) this pregnancy has been. I truly have been blessed to have no morning sickness, no "side effects" to being pregnant. Nothing other than a growing appetite and a growing belly. Gifts from friends have trickled in. Momma Marcia sent us a box of wonderful things that make it all the more real that soon our little boy will be here.

We are still discussing names. People ask me how the "preparations" are coming along and oddly we've done nothing. We're waiting to move so perhaps once that move happens and we actually have room for the baby we'll start making preparations. Suppose we should buy a crib and stuff soon but I don't want to buy stuff and then have to move it. Better to only move it once right!

6 Months

So I reached six months prego last Wednesday. Or 24 weeks how ever you want to look at it since it seems pregnancy/early years of a child's life is measured in weeks/months, not any other length of time. We have another doctors appointment this Thursday with Dr. Holland. It's hard to believe that it's been 4 weeks since we found out we're having a little boy. We've tossed around a few ideas for names. Tyler really wants to keep the T.T. tradition with names. Like Torin, or Tyson, or Trevor (we don't actually like any of those names it's just examples). The only thing we have decided on is the middle name... will be Baby Ski Jerry Thomas. Now we just have to come up with a first name. I'm more of a unique name type of person more so than a classic name type. I want a name that can be long or short like William/Will. But we have yet to find the perfect name that fits our baby and our family.

My boss has forced me to reduce my hours at work because he was concerned about the hours that I was putting in. Which I am truly blessed to have a boss that cares about and looks after the well being of his employees. I have always had a flexible schedule but after he sat me down in my office and talked about my health and the health of my baby I feel like I've been given permission to go home early when I'm exhausted or not feeling well. So now I can come in when I feel like it or leave early when I need to as long as my work load is being done and I'm passing some things off and sharing responsibility.

We haven't bought anything for the baby yet because we're waiting to get moved before buying stuff. That way when we move we don't have to move all that stuff with us. Hopefully we'll get moved sometime soon so we can unpack and get settled and begin to try to put together some type of nursery. We won't be able to paint or really decorate the room because there is the chance that we will have to move again next June so the crib set will be the expressive part of the nursery!
