We are the Millers

I always have tons of baby names swirling around in my head.  I write them down on random pieces of paper that get scattered throughout my office or home.  So now I'm writing them here.  All of the names that I love for this next baby. I didn't reveal Ashlyn's name until she was born.  I didn't want to hear any opinions on the name we had chosen for her.  You know how people get.  Oh well I know an Ashlyn and she's a character.  Oh well I know three Ashlyn's so that name isn't as unique as you think.  Ashlyn?  What kind of a name is that? Yea....wasn't having it. I don't really care this time, though.  I feel like I'm a little more laid back this time around.  I feel like the hormones aren't making me quite as crazy as they did last time.  So here are a few names that I have picked out so far.  I'll add to this list and re-post as I come up with more names. Girls Names: Brenlyn Grace  (love, love, love this ...

This week, I'm saying so what if... I spent most of my day yesterday in the bathroom throwing up.  I think I got a stomach bug because I just couldn't keep anything down. I lost 3lbs due to above mentioned stomach bug.  3lbs in one day.  Blah. My Mom gave me more chicken pot pie since it's the only thing I've been able to eat lately that doesn't make me want to throw up. I'm officially changing my vote to Boy.  I just have a feeling. After weeks of anticipation for this first ultrasound, my husband forgot about the appointment.  I was left on my own to wrangle our toddler while getting an ultrasound done.  Momma was not a happy camper. I'm thinking about sharing my list of names for this baby.  I would really like one big snowstorm before the warmer weather gets here.  I really love snow and I feel like we got ripped off this year.  Sorry to all of those who are stuck with tons of snow! I started tearing up when the la...

I finally got to see my little baby today!  It seems like it took forever to get here!  I had my first ultrasound with Baby Girl at 12 weeks, 5 days so they are very comparable in size. The heart rate today was 171 and, again, I didn't write down the heart rate for Baby Girl at this time so I can't compare!  I think hers was still in the 160 range.  The baby didn't move nearly as much as Baby Girl did at this point.  He or she just chilled with his or her hands up by his or her head, like he or she was laying in a hammock! Everything looks good.  Doctor says the baby is measuring perfectly according to my due date.  They did the neck test for Downs and that was normal as well. I took Baby Girl with to see the ultrasound.  She was a little freaked out at first.  I don't think she liked being in the room.  But once the lights went off and we got situated, she was fascinated by the screen.  She was bored with it after about ...

-I'm pretty sure this baby hates me. He or she has decided that he or she does not like food anymore and he or she makes me sick every time I eat. Mommy does not think it's funny. -Baby Girl is sick, yet again. This time it's a nasty cold. Problem is, if she doesn't get over by the end of the week, we have to re-schedule her ear surgery. I was really hoping to get it done before she had a chance to get another ear infection but that might not be the case. -I'm so tired of dog and cat hair that I'm actually considering having all of the animals shaved. Not only will it cut down on the hair, it will solve the flea problem that one of them has. What do you think? Will a pug still look cute if he is hairless? -I went grocery shopping on Sunday and got a week's worth of awesome meals to make only to realize that we won't hardly be home this week. Guess I'll have to try again next week. -I really only watch the Oscar's for the fashion. Those wo...

This was supposed to be a Valentine's Day link up but I sortof dropped the ball.  I had already answered the questions so I wanted to post it anyway.  I answered the questions and then asked my husband to answer the questions.  Enjoy!

Linking up with The Sweet Season for Friday's Letters Dear Friday's Letters, my bad.  I had you all written out yesterday and ready to go and then I forgot to post you!  Dear Baby Girl, I'm so sorry that you are sick, yet again.  This little cold you have is really kicking your butt.  I can't say I'm not glad I got to stay home with you Thursday, though.  I'm just anxious to find out if this little cold will push back your surgery date. Dear Baby #2, only a few more days until we get to see you!  I'm so excited!  Dear Grey's, OMG!  You are amazing!  Every single week you are just awesome.  I won't spoil it in case people didn't watch yet but I'm so happy with this show! Dear Shady Maple,   it looks like we will be visiting you twice in the next few days.  Please be kind and don't tempt me too much.  I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and I have to weigh in.  I still have zero weight gain and I...

This week, I'm saying so what if... I took Baby Girl to the doctor last night just because she has been so cranky lately (and not eating).  I really did think something was wrong but it turns out she is just teething.  Stupid molars!  My Mom gave me some of her chicken pot pie for dinner last night and I couldn't get enough of it.  It was the first time in months that I have eaten a meal without wanting to throw up!Comfort food at it's finest. I voted girl on my poll but I'm starting to get a boy vibe.  Not sure what to think.  Don't forget to vote! I'm nervous about Baby Girl getting tubes in here ears even though I know it's only a quick in and out surgery.  Baby Girl had an epic meltdown at the restaurant on Valentine's Day and we had to pack up our food and take it home to eat.  That's what we get for taking a tired toddler to dinner. My husband's Valentine's Day gift did come in time!!  I got him a new wedding ...
