he almost got it right

I was talking to Garrett's Dad the other day and had him ask Garrett if he remembered what we were going to name his new baby sister(Lily). Garrett said "Daisy". Hehe,..... at least he got the flower part right. :)

Garrett has been wanting to name her Stephanie ever since we found out she's a girl. Sorry baby but that just isn't going to happen. We already have one of those in the family anyways.

Garrett had an accident on the trampoline at his Dad's the other day and they believe he may have fractured his wrist. He has to wear a sling/splint/wrap thing for awhile until it doesn't hurt him anymore.

Bethany has been doing excellent with her potty training. No pee pee accidents in the past 2 days,...her overnight diaper was even dry this morning! We are soo proud of her for picking it up so quickly.

Bethany is picking up new words/phrases left and right. She can count to 9 already. She likes to annoy the cats, pretend to sleep/snore, play baby doll, read books, tickle people, watch Bambi, unload the dishwasher, "boing" on the bed(while holding hands with Mommy or Daddy), eat grapes(greeps or beeps), play outside, swing/slide, get her nails done, and of course she imitates everything Daddy says or does. The list does go on but I don't want to bore you. :)

The pregnacy is going ok. 31 1/2 weeks along now. I don't think my medication is strong enough. For the past few days I have been having quite a few contractions unless I am sitting still. But it is impossible to sit still when there is a house and a 2yr old to care for. Even though she is an impossibly easy 2 yr old who never really gets into anything.

I have most everything I need for the baby thanks to her being a girl and still having all of Bethany's baby stuff. There are still a few things left on my list to get though, and quite a few things left to do before she arrives. Mostly things to make it easier for the first few weeks after we come home. Like having extra food in the freezer and stocking up on things like toilet paper, diapers, wipes, and stuff so I will have less to go buy for awhile.

Cody is doing good. He quit dipping almost 4 weeks ago. I'm so proud of him for that. I know it's a really hard thing to do esp. after having dipped for 11 or 12 years.

I have been organizing everything thing I can get my hands on for over a week now. LOL,...you wouldn't believe if I told you some of what I've organized. I just have the urge to get everything right before the baby gets here. I still have some specific areas I need to tackle though like the 3rd bedroom which is now being used as a storage room of sorts. Later on after we get carpet in there it will become the girls room and Garrett will have his own room. Lily will stay in our room until she's 6 months old though so we have till then before we need it.

Cody and I are planning on doing several minor improvements to the house in the next few months. Mostly paint, carpet, a sink cabinet in the bathroom to repace our pedistle sink and new hardware throughout the house. I'm excited to see things start looking more updated and fresh.

I've rambled on enough for one day. Hope you enjoyed it!
