I love the pool.
I love that floating, weightless feeling I have when I'm in the pool.
I even love that Jellybean loves the pool, because she starts kicking A LOT.
I just don't love getting out of the pool, because then she lands on my hip-bones and all the weight comes right back on.
I wish I could live in the pool... for the next 2 months.

Finally, looking it!
I'm a big gal, I know it.
Finally I'm looking pregnant (not just large) and I am totally feeling it!
The Dr. said that we're looking at mid to late August, depending on Jellybean's size.
I can't wait!
Maybe I'll even post a picture soon.

Not Father's Day... yet.
I don't know where all of this sickness has come from. Just a few weeks ago, I was telling my friend how healthy all of us are. Then... WHAM! We are down. Not all of us, Aaron and Curt are mostly fine.
I think I've had it the worst. Hayden had a fever a few days ago and a night of "Frowding ups". Last night, I quickly started heading downhill. I couldn't keep water and soda down. I learned quickly that I was done eating solid foods. I was up every other hour visiting my "Porcelain King" and paying homage to him. Alyssa visited him once in the night and that was it! She just has an oogy stomach today.
Curt was so nice about it and let me sleep (when I could) and he took care of the kids. He was starting to get concerned that he needed to get me to the hospital to prevent me from getting dehydrated. Thankfully, we had Ginger Ale in the fridge that had already been opened, carbonation just would make things worse and we were getting worried about Jellybean.
Around 7:30 this morning, he handed my phone to me and told me to call Judy Holden and have her play the organ for me. I don't remember the conversation, but I remember being grateful for the easy songs to be played in sacrament meeting. I don't remember much after that until around 9:30 when Aaron asked me if we were going to church. After a quick panic attack about the organ, Curt reminded me that we'd called Judy. (Thanks Judy, for saving me from trying to play and throw up at the same time.)
So, even though this is Father's Day, I feel like I'm getting the Mother's Day that I really wanted... I just wish I didn't have to be sick to get it.
(I'm starting to feel a little better... I may just be able to make Curt's Father's Day dinner of Steak and Crab Legs this year. YAY! No break in tradition!)

Mommy Melted
Hayden wasn't feeling very well last night and fell asleep on the couch around 5 pm..
He woke up at 8:30 and started crying. As usual, I started asking questions.
"Hey, buddy, do you want a drink?"
"No."
"Are you hungry?"
"No."
"Do you need to go potty?"
"No."
"What do you need?"
"You."
Awwww... you'll find me in a puddle by the couch.

Name Game
We have started the countdown! Okay... who am I kidding, we started that a long time ago. But, we are still trying to find a name for this little girl, other than Jellybean.
I have a poll on the left side. These are the names that we love the most~ for right now. There are no guarantees that she'll be named the winners' selection, but we'd like a little input... for my indecisive husband.
If you have any other suggestions (or comments on the names that are there), feel free to share. We just need to have a name for a blessing before she heads into surgery!
We are going for the middle name of Gwen. I love this name and it's Curt's Grandmother's name. You see, I figure since Jellybean is going to have some struggles, she needs a strong name and Curt's Grandmother lived for a few decades after her husband died and was a very faithful church member. I only got to meet her twice, since she died the summer after Curt and I were married. From what I hear, she was very determined, stubborn and independent. These are things that I admire in women. So, I'd like to carry the name forward!

Life - unchanged.
I was thinking about how much things are going to change with another little child in our home. BUT, then I remembered all the wonderful things that will always be the same!
* Aaron will still be the oldest and will always be my first baby. He's starting Junior High, but I know that his attitude will not change. He's a very "grounded" kid and he knows who loves him. He's always up for a new adventure and another little sister isn't going to knock him off his pedistal. He'll share it... gladly.
*Alyssa will always be the big sister. She's got the happiest "go-lucky" attitude that I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to her being a teenager. We have a contract that she signed when she was 5 that clearly states, "I will never hate my mom or dad. I will always love them and kiss them before I go to bed" (The rule in our home is that no one will ever be too big to kiss their mother in public)
* Hayden is awesome and is happy most of the time. If he's not, I can usually talk him out of it. He's the funniest 3 year old and I love that I'm the most important person to him. I love that he "hates girls". (Except, Heidi, Ellie, Bailey... and Shea.) He even hates me... or so he says until he realizes that he doesn't. He thinks he's one of the big kids and is almost as independent, but not as stubborn.
* Curt will always be here when I really need him the most. He's more freaked out about Jellyean than I am. I'm calm, he's concerned. He's also got the best BBC humor, but people don't see it often. When my Mom asked where he was going to be working, he told her APS. She wanted to know if it was APS the electrical people. He reply? "I don't know... it could stand for Arizona Popcorn Supply. I forgot to ask." He said it with such seriousness, that I had to wonder if he was kidding or not, then he smiled and walked away. If you haven't had a chance to see this side of him, you're missing out. It's one of the reasons I fell for him in the first place.
* I'm the only one that I'm worried about. I know and believe so many positive things will come out of Jellybean's life that I'm actually worried about losing myself in the process. My family is SO important to me and I do feel like I forget about my own wants and wishes in the process. I still would like to go back to school and get a Nursing/Medical Degree so that someday I can work for the Red Cross, but that just doesn't seem like something that will get done. But I'm grateful for all the medical classes that I have taken which are going to help me get through the next few years. I'll work me out eventually. Right now, girl's night out is providing me a "Mental Vacation" from everything.

Come on Curt, help a girl out!!!
There are so many pictures I want to post! Curt switched me over to a new computer and I haven't quite figured out how to get my camera to link up. He's been so busy running from job interview to interview, working at one only to quit for a better one 2 weeks later, and dealing with my hormone spikes.
He's starting a contract job at APS on Monday. It's a great job and he already likes the people he'll be working with, he'll be able to ride the lightrail to and from the job! I GET MY VAN BACK!
On a side note, am I the only person who is 26 weeks pregnant who feels like I'm NOT big enough? I feel the same size as 3 months ago. I guess I'm just weird.
