lazy afternoons

this is pretty much all that goes on after i come home from work. yoda loves to cuddle up to my belly but we've run out of room on the couch for the three of us so yoda has found a nice spot to hang out right on top of me and baby. the picture of aidan is when we watched his parents dog little buddy. you can sure tell some one is jealous in this picture. i love dogs so much they have so much more personality then i ever could have imagined. i can't wait to have a new addition to our home (that however will be three boys with one girl i don't know how i'm going to handle it).

Good News

well i have good news i will be having baby in one month. yephoo. we have scheduled an induction on sept. 11th. so unless baby comes earlier sept 11 will be his birthday. well that's about all i have to say i'm just hoping baby can survive in my womb that long. it's getting close to the time that we lost ella so yes i've been freaking out and having a lot of stress. i have been paying really close attention to babies movements and it's kinda sad but i report to aidan everyday to let him know that yes baby is still alive. that's about were our focus has been which is why we are way behind on having every thing ready for baby. i just don't think i can come home to any empty nursery again so we haven't really set it up. but no worries i have been working on it just slowly. when you have a baby after having a stillborn they call it a rainbow baby because it is the rainbow after the storm. let me tell you it has been a storm and one that i didn't think i'd ever see the end. so just a few more weeks of hurricane and then the sun will come out. anyways enough with all the personal blabber. we are excited.

Aidan Lounging

bear lake was a lot of fun. we rented a cabin that was up on the hill and we had a beautiful view of the lake from the deck. it was a lot of fun. we spent a lot of time at the lake just hanging out. we also went to the pickleville playhouse to a western mellow drama and not only did the kids love it the adults had fun booing and hissing too. we tried to go to the cave that is up in idaho and drove all the way to find out it was a two hour wait and decided to just go back to the lake. no worries we made sure we got a famous raspberry shake yummy. it was a lot of fun hanging out with the family and playing games and talking. we are going to try and plan something for next year even if it is just camping we want to get back together again.

i need baby names

so aidan and i have really done pretty much nothing to get ready for this baby. i'm sure this has been out of fear of getting attached and then loosing so much again it's just easier not to think about it. but now that i have started thinking about it there is only two months left and if this baby makes it home we are soo not prepared. I'M FREAKING OUT! so here is the deal to all my friends out there (i think there's about four) i have finally sat down and looked at boy names. i've made a list and went over it with aidan and i just wanted you to look over them and tell me what ones ya like or if ya have any suggestions that would be great too. so here i go.
Parker
Peyton
Jesse
Carter
Camden
Holden
Tate
Tayton
Paxton
Ryland
and Stoner

Ha Ha just kidding about the last one. but i did seriously find it on the web sight. who honestly would name their child that. with ella we actually had about three names we liked and then when um she was born but not really born we picked two of them so it was easy. this time we have no idea. also if you could all pray that baby will come a few weeks early and healthy that would be nice too. well put on your thinking caps and get to work with the task i have now assigned you. thanks.

Our Date

So now that i'm really really pregnant i swear i can't get enough food. i do not feel full it doesn't matter how much i eat. anyways aidan and i went on a date last night it was soo much fun and it's been a while since we went out and did something together in public. he took me to dinner and i wanted country fried steak so we went to this dive of a restaurant and i got my steak. however i ate everything including most of aidan's meal. the waitress even brought me another salad because she accidental took my first that i was still working on. well after dinner we went up to cascade golf course and did some miniature golfing. i would like to say that i won. even with all of aidan cheating i still won. i had a blast. we didn't want the night to end so we decided that getting a shake would be a good idea and go figure it was(a good idea). i was a little upset because we should have taken the camera so i could have posted some photos but what can ya do.

my hero

Well my honey bunny who spends countless hours play WOW (world of war craft) as seen in the picture above was able to fix the swamp cooler. so to all my worried fans out there, that i'm sure were very concerned about my comfort and well being, can rest assured that i am finally able to come to a cool home. my puppy is also very great full to aidan for accomplishing this feat and likes to lay under the cool air in the hallway making a small road block for a big mama bear like me to have to navigate around. he think he owns the place and can get very demanding of his time and space. it will be interesting when baby gets here and he has to take a back seat. i just hope that he doesn't feel like lady did on "lady and the tramp" and run away from home and eat a lot of spaghetti. well that reminds me we still have not come up with a name. honestly we haven't really been trying too hard to find one but if anyone has some ideas let me know because we are running out of time. i will also have to post some pictures of baby's nursery when it gets all set up. our little boy will be in a lovely girl nursery for the first year of his life. oh well what can ya do. well i'd better run.
