Today we are 12 weeks! I am hoping to wake up tomorrow feeling like a new woman. No more nausea, no more falling asleep while I am walking (who knew a person could be this tired?!) I know that this is not reality, but, it is nice to dream. I am ready to feel like myself a little bit again.
I have almost had all of my classes since the big announcement. They react in funny ways. I have received two high fives, been asked if we were trying, been asked if it is a boy or girl, been asked why we weren't finding out, been asked what my doctors name was so they could email the doctor and find out for themselves, where I am delivering, and many other things. Some really want to be involved, others, of course, could care less. They are just excited I won't be here for spring finals (I think they are under the assumption that they won't have to take them while I am gone, they are wrong).
I still am just in disbelief that Justin and I are going to be parents. I am so excited and anxious, but am having the time of my life. We are planning the nursery and getting the house ready. It is all just so much fun. I kind of feel like we are just playing house. I guess since we are one of the first of our friends to be having kids (okay guys, meet a man/woman and start having kids, ours will need a playmate!) that we don't really know what to expect of this life changing experience. I am so nervous that when the baby comes, we will lose contact with everyone and become "the old people". I know this will happen to a degree, but I also know that we have such wonderful friends, that they will still be around. Our baby is just going to have lots of "aunts" and "uncles"!
On another note, we need Grandparent names for Bob, Dena, John and Joyce! Any ideas?
Happy Halloween everybody!

Here ya go on name suggestions. Now some people like to see what the baby calls them but in our case we have 4 sets of grandparents so we had to name them ahead of time. So hear are our names and then some others I have heard of for the
Grandpas: Grandpa, Papa, Pop, Grandad, Grampy, Gramps, Papoo, Papu,
Grandmas: Grandma, Mimi, Nana, Grana, Granny, Gramu, Gigi,Gammie, Ma, Mu, Grammy
That is all I can think of right now! You should have your mom and dad choose one they like and them call them that for a few days and then switch to another one. We did that with the girls names. We would call them the two we liked and see how it sounded. Until we found the ones we liked.
I think it is SO much fun to wait until your little one starts to babble and let them come up with their own name for Grandpa and Grandma. Jaxon calls my Mom Drama and her husband Papa Tayne (Thayne), my Dad is Papa George, and Dan's dad is just Plain Papa and his mom is Grama Retta (Lauretta). These have evolved from what he was babbling and he continues to come up with new names for them as his language develops, and it is absolutely HILLARIOUS to watch! I thought he would get confused with 3 grandpas and 2 grandmas, but he TOTALLY knows who is who! You will be surprised how smart little ones actually are, it's amazing! So GOOD LUCK and Happy Naming! =D
