Names, names and more names!

We have looked everywhere.

I borrowed a baby dictionary with 50,000 names from the library. Can you imagine reading 50,000 names? Ok, only about 25000 were girl names, but still.

We have gotten some suggestions. FYI - we will take more suggestions.

And we may eventually reach a decision. You know pick a name. It is actually, a much bigger decision than I ever imagined.

However, I will warn you. And I am completely honest - we will not be telling! Nope. No way. We will not reveal the babies name to anyone, except for maybe Mabel (our cat). Until the baby is born.

Then SURPRISE!

At which time you will only have one option. And that is to exclaim, "Oh, that is beautiful name!", or something to that effect. So start practicing. Just in case. Make it sound good. It is really not nice to upset a new mommy and daddy.

Love you all!

P.S. Ok, if we take your suggestion we might tell you. But probably not. :)

I am getting bigger and bigger and bigger . . .

I can't seem to take a picture when I don't look tired.

But I can't take a good picture even when I am not pregnant.

However, please notice the belly.

This picture was take on June 5, 2006. That was right about week 24.

How do I feel??

How do I feel?

Well, it depends.

Sometimes I feel like I am the queen of the world. I feel invincible. Like I could take on the world and win.

Sometimes I feel like I need a nap.

Sometimes when I am in bed I feel like a beetle. You know those beetles that get turned upside down and all they can do is wiggle their legs until exhausted. They just can't get up or over.

Sometimes I feel like I am burning up. At those times, Ryan could probably cook and egg on my hands or my feet.

Sometimes I feel so cold I am afraid I will cut off my tongue with the shivering.

You get the idea . . .

Did I mention whale . . . anyway.

But I think the bottom line is that 99% of the time I feel pregnant.

We bought a stroller!

When we went to register we were dismayed to see that all of the strollers available at the stores were either black, navy blue or green. Ryan thought that Baby Girl Fuller should have a pink stroller and he found one. It is our first baby purchase. I am so excited.

Baby bottles . . . baby bottles and more baby bottles . . .

Did you know that there are about 300, 000 different types of baby bottles out there. I think I am still in shock. Ryan and I went out to register last weekend, we had no idea what we were getting into. We went two Babies R Us first and after spending 2 hours looking at baby stuff, we were not done, not even close. But is was all I could take. My ankles are swelling now after all. The next day I went to Target by myself and spent another hour and a half looking at stuff and I am still not done. I wonder what people did in the 1800s'. There were no bottle warmers then. Why should I get a bottle warmer? I am sure I can probably figure out how to warm a bottle without a bottle warmer. How much stuff can a baby need anyway? I am stuck on the baby bottles alone! :)

Check These Out!

Here is Baby Girl Fuller at 17 weeks/semanas.

Baby Fuller is Coming!

Young baby Fuller, a girl, is scheduled for delivery on September 21, 2006. Her mommy and daddy are very happy. We can't wait to see her already. This takes WAY too long.
