Reece at 31 weeks

He is doing great!! Growing strong and really getting lots of chub added to him. He is approx. 4lbs 2oz. Loved getting to see him one more time before he is here.

Wonderland

We had the fantastic opportunity to help at the annual United Parents picnic/Wonderland/gathering at Thompson Park a few weeks ago. Cameron was bummed because he had to work to get caught up because of the rain that we have had lately. So myself and all three kiddos headed to the park to pass out water/drinks and then headed over to Wonderland. Thankfully we weren't alone. A great group of people from church helped me and took the kids on all sorts of rides. Whew!!! I was so thankful! Cannon and Gracelyn loved it. Mason could have stayed home and been just fine. Rides are NOT his thing at all.

Progression of pregnancy~and baby name

Here is the progression of this pregnancy. I am feeling fat, huge, massive, whale-like, enormous...nice huh???? I know I look normal and that ALL pregnant women go through phases of feeling like this. But seriously this summer has been HOT so the swelling has been a nice touch. (sarcasm at it's best)

My cankles are lovely and instead of going down each day and showing up around 4 in the afternoon. They are permanent these days. From my thigh all the way to my feet it is one long line. No definition at the knee and actually they look like stumps. My toes look like little sausages to boot. he he he!

As far as how I am actually doing~GREAT. Feeling exactly like I should with the right amount of uncomfortableness, the right amount of tiredness, the right amount of aches and pains. So just perfect. :)

The greatest accomplishment (besides growing a healthy baby) I've done this pregnancy is name him before he is born. I mentioned it before about how we haven't ever done this before. It is soooo fun. I think if I knew how great it feels to name a child before they are born I would have done it sooner. Seriously I love calling him by his name. Makes me feel like I am one of the elite group. Silly I know but it is fun to say his name. It is fun to write his name. And it is fun to make things for the boy's room knowing what his name is.
Oh you want to know what his name is??? Well it is...


REECE

No middle name yet. Hey that's a lot to ask of us. We got the first name so give us a break on the middle name!! :) Not sure if this will be settled before he is born but I am hoping so. I always thought it would be Williams but Cam won't commit to it. I think he is just holding out to mess with me! :)

Baby Reece or Weece as Mason calls him will be here anywhere from 7 weeks (I have gone into labor at 36 weeks with the other 3) to 13 weeks since technically delivering at 42 weeks is just as normal as delivering at 38 weeks. UGH!!! I can't imagine the possibility of being pregnant in November!!! I have it in my mind the last week of September but still I am absolutely not going to bet on a date or think of it being a sure thing. I want Reece to stay as long as he needs to.
