And the naming begins!!

Well I think Allen and I have decided on names for our little one. I know I'm only about 6 weeks along, but I like to have something in mind from the get go. My sister just laughs and says I'm nuts!!! But she will learn when she has babies. Our girl will be Lane Eva Green and our boy name is Liam Avery Green.

I am very much planning on a daughter named Lane, but you always have to be prepared. LOL So I bet it will be my little Liam. We will see how it goes. It has been very crazy trying to find names, but I was determine to get them picked out soon. I think I am already nesting. ROFLOL I want things prepared and I have SOOOOO long to go. I'ts going to be such a long pregnancy.

I guess the picture says it ALL!



 

We surprised Allen when he came home from Memphis this week. Needless to say, HE WAS SURPRISED!!! LOL

So, our new little member will complete our family and we are all so excited! We are very blessed! So we have decided on the name Liam for a boy and well we NEVER think about girl names. It's just something that Allen and I never seriously think about. LOL So I guess I should claim Liam now, just in case. It seems there are so many babies being born this year. Our church is so blessed! I am grateful! :)

I needed to go back to bed...(SERIOUSLY!)

So where do I begin? What a day it has been so far. I just felt it when I woke up this morning. I KNEW something was going to happen. I never thought it would get this bad! So here it goes. . .

Two weeks ago I started wearing a NTI at night to help with my headaches. Gosh, it has really really helped with the headaches (I admit, I was doubtful), but I wake up with such a dirty yuck taste in my mouth and my teeth hurt for the 1st 10 minutes or so. I think it is a good trade to eliminate the headaches so I won't complain. But this morning I just got so sick. I couldn't get the taste out and my teeth were just simply aching! I wanted to crawl back in bed, but yeah right, like that was going to happen.  So I got up and got the boys' their breakfast and then it was time to get Allen up. He had a doctor's appointment this morning and was running late.

I totally forgot it was Monday and the girls would be here in an hour and a half. YIKES!! I was not prepared. I had run out of laundry detergent and my clothes are piled up and and the dishes were typically not done due to another crazy Sunday. So I get to work and get ready and go check on the boys. Jaxon asked me to "fix" one of his guys. So little carpenter fix-it mom me, I try to do it with the help of a butter knife. Allen then comes in during this from the doctor and he had bad news. I was listening to him and not really paying attention and I slip and the knife jabs into my hand. I started screaming and running to the bathroom. Our boys started going nuts after they hear me and the wonderful red color is flowing everywhere. It really freaked them out and Allen too. I was just screaming in pain and really just shocked. I have NEVER done something so stupid and careless. Gosh, at least not in front of the boys. Well of course it is in a place that I just can't get a butterfly band-aid to stick so I am trying to decide if I need to get stitches. It's kind of bad.

Well 20 mins later the girls arrive and I'm one-handed with 5 kids under the age of 5. (pray!! LOL) Allen leaves to meet a woman to sell some stuff (I love craigslist!). He calls and says he just got a ticket. His first in 8 years and that he is praying that things get better. He then calls 30 mins later andsays he is still trying to find the lady he was meeting. He is now frustrated and has a huge meeting today and he is losing focus. Just great!! That's what I needed to hear as Asher falls out of his chair while eating and our Vonage box quit working, so our phones are down and my cell only works upstairs and the kids are playing downstairs. lol

Seriously, I guess you just have to laugh, even as I am writing this one handed and it is taking me an hour or so. Some days are just meant to be tough, so that you know a great day when you are living it. Well I just pray the Lord has realized that I am trying to survive this and get to a GREAT one!! Just pray for us and that our night goes a bit better. LOL :)

JAXON

Well we have spent the entire week in the dentist office. Dr. Givens is my FAVORITE dentist ever, so it hasn't been as tough as it sounds. lol Allen and I finally bit the bullet, so to speak, and went. We hate going to the dentist, but Allen had some time off this week and we just took a leap of faith. LOL  We also got Jaxon an appointment. It was his first time going and I was as nervous as any mother could be. I almost cried just sitting in the waiting room.

He did GREAT. Just sat there and watched cartoons and joked with the ladies. I was so impressed and surprised. I have never been that calm and I'm a grown adult. I guess when you know nothing about what can happen in that office there are no fears. He was such a trooper. We did find out a lot about his teeth and he had one cavity that they said they needed to fill. So today we went back and had that taken care of. Again, I was a nervous wreck. Dr. Givens told me not to say anything about what would happen and that there would be a SHOT involved. So I bit my lip and let him walk back without me. I sat there and just cried. I had warned them on Tues. that I would more than likely respond like that and they were super nice about it. It's official. . .  I'm that mom!!

But he did so well. I finally went back and checked on him and I was getting my NTI fit for my mouth and he was in the room right next to me. I could here him laughing and telling the girls all about the cartoon that was on the tv. I was so proud and just thanked God for His blessings. I had worried all day yesterday and this morning. But HE took care of it. So that has been our big adventure this week and man am I glad it is over until October!!! Asher will be going too!   Until then. . .
