We interrupt this broadcast...

...to announce the arrival of my BROTHER'S baby girl ~ Lucy True! Born around 8:30pm on Thursday, January 27, 2011 8lbs 13oz!

At least SOMEBODY was busy building a baby!

Itching Itching Itching!

Okay, so many people I know are either pregnant or have just had a baby. This is not helping me! I'm totally itching for our next baby! UGH! I'm already thinking of names! For a girl I like Eden Soraya (but Kenny hates it...he says Eden sounds like a stripper...sigh). You'll probably think we're completely nuts but we BOTH love the name Esme' (pronounced: Ez-may with Joelle as a possible middle name) but I'm not sure if I actually want to use it due to the Twilight phenomenon! But does that mean people are going to stop naming their kids Edward or Isabella? No, so maybe we'll use Esme', I don't know. Anyway, we used to like Christian Joseph Salvatore for a boy but now we kinda just like Salvatore....even though it doesn't really go with the names Karis and Shiloh. Of course we have PLENTY of time to think of names but if you know me even a little bit you should know that I'm a NAME FREAK so I like to start way early, haha.

Box remains closed

That's right, we're not pregnant. Was I worried that there was a CHANCE we could be pregnant? Um, yeah kinda sorta. You see, me and Birth Control pills don't really get along...as in, I always forget to take them. And then, whenever I'm off schedule with said-pills there's always that "kinda worried" thought in the back of my mind. That is, after all, how we came to have Shiloh when we did, haha! So, no we're NOT trying but yes I'm still itching for Baby #3...even though the timing isn't right (financially speaking). We'll keep you posted although there shouldn't be any news until AT LEAST the summer, if not later!

Pandora's Box

Did I just open it?! I mean, we DO want more babies, just not right at this moment! I've been enjoying the blogging thing and already have two (private) blogs: one for myself (which NO ONE is allowed to read, haha) and one for the girls (where I record everything I want to remember about them as they grow). It's so much easier to TYPE than to keep a handwritten journal and I've been doing really well keeping up with both blogs! Well, I was bored so I thought I'd create another one. This is one that I'll be able to share with family and friends, when we finally ARE expecting Baby #3. I'll record everything about doctor's visits, etc. So, now the question remains. Did I just open up Pandora's Box?! We shall see!
