Baby Names!

We are working on these early. I hate calling the babies A, B & C. It drives me crazy. So we are working on names now. Totally unlike my usual of wanting to meet the baby first. I want the babies to start to have their individuality now. Especially now since they don't even get their own uterus! We have a final list of 5. I'm pretty proud that we got so far so soon. We are usually deciding when the baby is like 3 days old and the birth certificate registrar lady is standing at the foot of my bed with all her papers tapping her foot. I am an admitted Name Nerd and this process, while fun and exciting, is also very stressful for me. (Aaron totally does not get it, he either likes a name or he doesn't but its all good, we work it out ) In my opinion, It's the first thing I give my child when they enter this world and what their name is, is extremely important to me, and will be to them as they grow up, and hopefully they will love the name that we have chosen.

I'll announce them as soon as we decide, I just have one favor. If you like them, I'm happy to know. If you love them, even happier. If you hate them, keep it to yourself please. Learn to like them, love them or just accept them. All will be names that we love so I think that the old phrase that your mom taught you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", should be applied here. Not trying to be a bitch, just trying to tactfully say, Respect Our Decisions.

Thank You :)

Bleh...

Lilah is sick. Ick. It's not pretty. Poor thing. Good thing she's very verbal about the fact that she's about to vomit so I can get something under her. It's going to be a very very long day. A pukey (and another not mentionable predicament) toddler on about 2.5 hours sleep. Fun.

Vacation Notes...

Finally. I've had so much to say that I forgot to post vacation photos. We had alot of fun. Kids all loved it, as usual. The only surprise was that Annie LOVED the water (she even went tubeing!) and Lilah was literally scared to death of it. Wouldn't even go past the grass line at the cabin. Needless to say, it was nice not having to worry about her.

And, my favorite:

Fifteen Weeks....

Not much to say but.... Here we grow again! Babies are perfect. I'm growing, thus the babies are growing. Not even gonna complain.

It's Official....Well, Pretty Much

As official as it gets without them actually being born.

We are having....

THREE..... BEAUTIFUL......BABY........

GIRLS!

I'm actually relieved. I'm so glad that they are all the same gender. It makes them seem much more like triplets that way. The only think I would change if I could is to make them all boys. Not gonna happen. I think that God has a very interesting sense of humor (I call it interesting, you can call it what you want) but seriously. Try for A BOY. Get THREE GIRLS. Yup, that is interesting humor to me. ;). The best thing about this is that these babies will be born by 36 weeks which technically makes them preemies no matter which way you look at it. Girl preemies do much better than boys. I'm not sure why but they do. Another good thing is clothing. I have a TON of girl clothes already. I saved most all of Delilah's stuff. (except for the really tiny stuff) And bedrooms. They can all share a bedroom, forever now, if they have too. I say it's all good. They are all growing and HEALTHY, what more could we ask for?

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIETTE**

TEN WHOLE YEARS! I can't believe it. Or, "Double Digits" as Juliette and Aaron call it. She's so excited to be "double digits". lol. Poor sweet girl had to spend her whole birthday in the car driving home from the lake, but I think she was ok. We had a small'ish party for her at the lake before we headed home and we stopped at the restaurant of her choice (Subway, my kids are so easy) for dinner. All in all, I think her day was a Happy one. Next week is her Tie-Dye-Water-Balloon-Friend Party, and we are going to try to squeeze in a family party this weekend in between 3 kids soccer tournaments. (I swear, Aaron is developing Adult ADD, he loves to just go go go to soccer stuff with the kids)

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweet, special girl. I can't believe your TEN whole years already. You're growing up into such an amazing little person. Your sweet, kind, empathetic and most likely the best big sister Annie, Lilah and these 3 little ones could ever ask for. Your quite the little sister too. ;) I thank God for you every day. I can't believe that I am lucky enough to be your Mom.

I Love You Sweet Girl. I hope your day was fabulous.

A New Picture....

I went it today for another quickie check. Just to measure cervical length (its great!) and to check babies before our vacation. This US Tech was really nice. She got a good picture of all 3 babies and TRIED to guess genders. She thinks A & B are girls. C was doing it's usual sleeping and thumb sucking so it was hard to get a good look, but she's thinking girl too. Why am I not surprised? 3 baby girls will be nice. Why change now after 12 years? ;). BUT, she said not to call it yet. Not until next Tuesday. THEN we will know for sure. IF Baby C will wake up and move around a bit. Nice quiet lazy little thing. Hm. Kinda sounds like a boy to me. ;)
