You probably already know...

"A girl?!!? I might 'a known she'd have a girl!"

Quick, what's that from? (hint, it was one of my favorite movies when I was little)

So if you haven't already heard on facebook, I'm pregnant, and we found out yesterday it's a girl. We are beyond thrilled!!! Last night, I spent most of my time thinking about how to decorate the nursery and Boston's new room. Now, if I can only think of a way to PAY for my new ideas. lol.
We have a first name and are stuck on a middle name. Madison is the first and some options for the middle are: Rachel, Kate, Kaylee, and Faith. Maybe we're a little bit ahead of ourselves, but we can't help it. What do you think would be a good middle name? (You don't have to pick from what I posted)

Boston has no idea what's coming. Every time Chris asks Boston where mommy's baby is, he points to himself and looks at Chris like, "I'm right here dad, why would you ask such a dumb question?"

Speaking of Boston, he's had a rough few days. It's the first time in his little life that he's been super sick. He's been throwing up, had diarrhea, a cough, and a fever that was hovering between 102 and 104 and that's with Tylenol! Thursday night was the roughest, and I stayed up with him all night trying to keep his fever down so we wouldn't have to take him to the E.R. I finally got him settled enough to sleep for a bit around 5am. I stayed home Friday to take care of him and take him to the doctor should his fever not come down. Today has been better. He's only thrown up once, so far hasn't had much of a fever, and he ate TWO individual fruit snacks! This was a big development because he has refused to eat anything at all since Wednesday. I'm hanging out with him at home tonight and going to see if I get get him to eat. Wednesday he had a 6 hour nap, and today he's slept 5 hours. I figure if that's what his little body needs than go for it.

I've got exactly 7 days of student teaching left, and I'm so ready to be done! It has been an amazing experience, and I've learned and grown so much from it. However, I feel that I'm ready to move on to the next phase in my life and focus on just being a mom. So while I'm sad to not be able to teach, the happiness I feel about being a stay at home mom makes everything else seem less important. :)

Congratulations! I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well for you. Where is the quote from? I'm pretty sure I've seen the movie a long time ago, but I can't think of it right now.

I'm so happy for you Rach! Both about the girl and the student teaching being done! YAY!

Congratulations. Madison is a cute name but I would stay away from Kate as the middle name just because it's too close to Adyson Kate (Jelaine's girl). Not that it should really matter. Just saying...

you are so awesome fo rposting a 7b47b quote. Seriously AWESEOME! I actually think kate would be so cute with it. I think if one name is longer than the other one should be shorter. it just usually sound better that way. I can't wait to throw you a shower for this new little lovley (because yes you do need a shower for each sex!).

ok... so yes, I love the name too... but Adyson Kate and Madison Kate will be pretty close names.
What about Madison Marie.. Madi Marie? or Madison Brynn (that one is my favorite) or Madison Jane?
those are my suggestions.
girls rock!!!!

Forever!!!
