We have a name...

Well, I think we finally have a name...

A few weeks ago Mark and I were talking in the car and I just said what I had been feeling for a few days...."I think I finally feel that their is a name I can call this baby boy!"

Mark said he too had been feeling more settled at the same name...

So here it is- Matthew Naylor

We are still unsure of the middle name but it will either be Aaron or Isaac (which is Mark's middle name).

My next Dr's appointment is June 3rd, so we will know more about a possible scheduled induction later in June at that time. The Dr just wants to check his size and make sure that he is not going to be a toddler size baby! Will keep everyone posted!

Having a Tea Party....in our PJ's

After breakfast Macy thought it would be a good idea to have a tea party with her babies....make sure and check out the background in the picture. Looks like we already have a newborn in this house huh? Macy has decided that the baby Moses basket, swing, and baby bed are hers...not her brother's! Hopefully by the time he is born she will be over them and will let him sleep in them. :)

Belly Pics- 32 weeks

My pregnant belly with Baby Boy (32 weeks)

I have been meaning to take pictures of this belly of mine for a week or so now but something always kept preventing me from taking them...I wouldn't have any make up on, I needed to shower, I was to tired, or I couldn't find anything that was clean that still fit!! Not that I am that vain or think that I was having a model photo shoot or anything but after all these pictures would be in my baby's baby book forever!

So I just decided that I am a mom of a 2 year old and soon to be newborn. I should look a little tired, and it was okay if my hair was a mess or my clothes were dirty....that is just going to be the new normal around here! So last night around 11pm (We were only up that late b/c Mark and I had both taken naps) I finally just said "It is time"!

Today as I was uploading them to my computer I realized how big my belly really was. Just to prove it I got out some pictures of my pregnancy with Macy at around the same times- "WOW" is all I have to say!!! And I still have a few weeks to go!

Major Accomplishments

So the day before we left to make a fast trip back to Missouri Macy decided that she wanted to start wearing big girl panties and not diapers! I was thrilled, shocked, and worried how all of this was going to fit into our travel plans. But it went very well- we just brought her potty chair with us, lots of little girl panties, and made sure she had on a diaper in the car (we weren't that crazy)!! She did great at my parent's house and even went potty in a public bathroom! Now that we have been home she is doing even better, I think only 1 accident in the last week and that was a #2!

Macy seems to do better when we let her do things "All by myself"...don't know where she learned that phrase but it is now a daily reminder we have a 2 year old! She does the whole potty process literally all by herself...which is much easier on this pregnant mamma since Macy seems to think she has to be 1/2 dressed while going potty...every single time!

So I have 2 questions for other mommy's out there who are going through this or who have been down this road before....

1. How do you get them to go #2 in the potty?

2. When do you start letting them go diaper free at bedtime and nap time?

I am totally puzzled by all of this and honestly it is a lot more work than diapers! But I can say that the thought of the diaper savings (at least for a few months) is really exciting me!!!
