So we've told the kids about the baby-to-be. It is exciting to listen to them talk about it. So far, they've given me lots of advice: Victoria--"Remember MOM, lay on your back, NOT on your tummy, so you don't squish the baby!" and Luke--"You need to eat really healthy now!"
Also, the children have come up with lots of names...
Victoria likes my idea for "Rose" but added a middle name: "Rose Mother", also she said "Landon" if it's a girl (Eric corrected her quickly) and she likes Victoria. :0) She suggested "Ty" because she "knows 2 Ty's". She has given me lots of names, most of which have temporarily left my brain. thankfully...
Luke initially said: "Obi Wan" (Eric also corrected) because then he and the baby could have Star Wars names together... then he said he likes TJ. So Luke has suggested Thomas Jake, Thomas John, Thomas James, Tyson... anything that will end up with TJ as the initials. He is also assuming that "TJ" will play hockey. (and assuming that mommy even LIKES TJ) No names my kids give will beat the creativity of my nephew. He wanted to name his baby sibling to-be: Butt Toot if it was a girl and Scooby Doo if it were a boy. They are having a boy. I can't wait to hear their "real" name!!
So... all is well. That Dr's appt on Monday of next week cannot come FAST ENOUGH.
