Love & Buttins: September 16 - September 22, 2012

Well, we are up to week 30, and while baby boy still doesn't have a name, he sure is getting big. He is now as big as a cucumber. We have been throwing a few baby names around, but none really seem to stick. I am getting anxious about coming up with a baby name, but I know that when the right one comes along that we will just know. It will fit perfectly! Something new this week is that the baby had the hiccups, which felt more like me having the hiccups. It was such a funny feeling at first, but I got used to it after a while. Bella has been playing with her new toy, just about every second of the day that we will let her. It is an automatic ball launcher! We got it from Jordon's aunt, and Bella just loves it. She will sit in front of it for hours. I don't much like that Jordon lets her play with it in the house, thank goodness for vaulted ceilings! We haven't been able to let her out of the house much this week due to her being sick with a stomach bug and the fact that last week she stepped on a piece of glass and cut her foot. It is healing, but we are trying to be extra careful. No walks means that Bella seems to be bored a lot! I just want to say how enriched our life has been because of Bella. She is the sweetest thing, all the time, but especially in the morning. I love how she will lay down and cuddle with you and give you unconditional love. I hope that I can keep those memories in my mind forever. Of course, she loves Jordon the most, but I relish every little second of time that I get with my little Bella! I was able to keep up with my crafting this week as I made the Knudsen's a thank you card for inviting us over for pizza last week along with a few cookies. They sure are a nice little family. I also have been working on the baby quilt, as I hope to get it close to being done before this baby comes! I am a little worried, but hopefully it will be finished. I started my new job this week in the float pool, which is a little slow and boring, but I look forward to the slow days now that baby is getting so big. Working twelve hour days is a bit too much lately. I am on the infant unit, which is only going to prepare us for baby. Speaking of baby boy, we had another doctor's appointment this week with Dr. Thackery. He measured my belly and let us listen to the baby's heartbeat. I always love hearing that little tone on the doppler. It is so reassuring for me to know that our little boy is doing alright.. I know that Jordon has been reading up on baby books. He is going to be such a good father! We had another baby class this week and learned all about breastfeeding, but Jordon couldn't make it because he was at work. That's okay, I think it was more for the mom's anyway. We were able to spend some time with the Petersen's this week at Sunday dinner; as well as see my family when we helped Nikki put together her bedroom set. She is so happy that it finally came. I think she has been waiting for about three months! Saturday was the best day of all as 'the boys' from Jordon's family went out to Wendover for the AIR SHOW! We love air shows, but I had to work Saturday night, so I told the boys to go without me. Jordon said that they had a blast! They saw all different types of planes and Jordon ran into his instructor. I hope that someday soon we can buy a new airplane for my love! Baby boy however did not like working night shift, so I don't think I will be working very many more until after graces us with his presence.
Have a good week everyone
