Note to self, no more summer babies!!!

I am dying of heat today and it only went to 85 degrees today. The only thing that went through my mind is...you are still in second trimester! Oh my. I am used to having babies in the summer Zach's birthday is August 28th, Grant July 20th and other little baby boy due hopefully August 29th. The only question is why? Why do I do this to myself? It's easy, I completely forgot how uncomfortable heat and pregnancy are, but it is quickly coming back to my remembrance. Note to self, don't do this again! As for names of boys, Timmy and I are not on the same page. I like the names Theodore and Bennett, and Timmy likes the name William and James. As you can see we are on totally different pages. Luckily we have a lot of time to think it over, but we know for sure the middle name is Steel, after my dad and my grandpa. I have found out when talking to people that the ladies tend to like the name Bennett and the men like James. As for Zach he likes the name James because it is a train name from Thomas the train episodes. Boy names are hard to figure out, but in the end he will have to be named that is a requirement to leaving the hospital!

As for life with two sweet little wild boys, it is a lot of fun and very demanding. I think that is just parenthood, it is hard. But it has been by far the most rewarding thing I have ever done or will ever do. I had lost my phone for four days last week and had no idea where it was. I finally found it in the little potty of Grants! The only reason it was found was because Grant wanted to try going potty and I happened to be right there! Miracle? I think so! Timmy is gone to New Orleans for four days and I am trying to be brave. The boys ask every night where he is and we all miss him.

Another funny thing about expecting another boy are peoples reactions. When the boys and I go to the grocery store, we create quite a scene. The kind people around me ask, "Are you having a little girl?" And I say "no, another boy." I can see the pity and sadness on their faces. They then say "It will be all right!" Yes it will be all right! We just want this cute little boy named "Bennett" (hint, hint) to be well and healthy, we can't wait for our little addition. In fact he can come before his due date, if he so chooses.

Here am I with my amazing belly! Yes I am feeling really brave at the moment!
