I have wanted to blog for a long time, but my life right now is not cooperating. I feel I am being pulled every direction. It sounds bad, but I'm actually grateful for it because it has made this pregancy fly by. I have 9 weeks left!!!
Everything pregnancy wise is going well. We are expecting a boy to arrive at the end of January. Dustin and I have not agreed on a name. I have had the name Britten C Russell picked since I was expecting with Kate. He has agreed to Britten, but wants to use the initials RC instead. I can not allow this. When I hear RC I think of "remote control". He thinks using the initials shortens the name. I will always feel we named our child, Britten Remote Control Merritt. Not going to happen!!!
The kids are getting excited to have a baby in the house. The girls rub my belly every morning and say. "Good morning, Baby." It will be nice to see them interact when he is here.
I'm getting excited too. I'm tired and I'm sore, but it will be nice to have a baby in the house. I think it will bring the softer side of my kids out. We have had too much teasing and fighting going on and I'm tired of it. My kids were so kind and loving when they were little and best friends. I'm hoping the baby reminds them how it used to be. It will be a good change.
We had a scare thinking I'd have to have a C-section, but everything has turned out for the best. I was happy to hear this news. I have had my last four natural and was hoping to do it with this one as well. The thought of being cut open didn't thrill me. Here are pictures of our latest ultrasound in October. I have a feeling he'll come out resembling Aaron. Seeing what our genes do is always the funnest part for me!!!
I'm happy that I'm finally allowing myself to be happy about this baby. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I was having feelings that everything would not be okay. I don't know it was my age or what, but I just had this terrib;e feeling that wouldn't allow me to be happy. I still can';t buy anything for him. I feel I'll jinx it, but my mind is slowly coming around. Thankfully we have been given almost everything for this baby, or we'd be in trouble. We are well prepared to have him because of generous family and friends!! I don't know what I'd do without them!!!

He has the Merritt cheeks!! Perfect to squish, kiss, pinch, and kiss some more!
I think of RC cola, but what ever you name him I know it will be adorable.
I was the same way with Baylee, I was so afraid to buy anything or be too excited for fear I'd jinx myself. Why do we do this to ourselves- we know we can't jinx ourself, we know there is a plan- if something happened it wouldn't be because we got excited, but dang that stupid fear that comes into play. I'm excited to see this little boy- I so wish we were closer, I want to hold him and smell him and of course kiss his cheeks (the ones on his face)can't wait for these 9 weeks to fly by for you!!
Just beautiful. I am glad you are feeling more content about it...as hard as it is having a new baby around. ;) I am so happy for you.
I also think of RC Cola. ;) Ahem*
The merits of Britten C Russell (feel free to share with Dustin):
- I think all the double letters are fun. For real, five sets of double letters with Merritt, that's unique...without being Uneek, if you know what I mean.
- I like that he would have initial AND a middle name. Coolness of the stand-alone letter with the completeness of a full name.
- I'm down with what the C and Russell mean.
- It's got a good rhythm. I love sing-songy names. I mean, you know my girls' full names (maybe).
- It feels vintage and modern at the same time. Vintage+modern=my favorite.
