shopping with Brody

At the Lakewood Mall waiting for Mike to get done with his eye exam.
At Ikea, we though we lost him. Of course he was under the table climbing through the rugs...Duh!

Eating lunch. He was done eating because his belly was full....see!

This week Mike and I got out several time to go shopping. We are trying to get a head start on the Christmas shopping but it proves to be difficult with Brody. We just keep telling ourselves that this is easy and to wait until there are two.

Corona Fire

Hopefully this fire doesn't burn down the new house that Sarah and Jason just bought me. That would be terrible if I couldn't lay out poolside with virgin Margaritas this spring while my chef (Sarah) makes me delicious tummy yummys. Yes! Pregnancy has made me delirious.

Good morning sunshine!

Saturday morning at 6:45 a.m. there these two sleepy heads lie. I had to wake up extra early to write a paper and then get down to school to meet with my group. These two made getting up difficult.

Baby Names

So I got a little curious on what names we considered naming Brody. I went in search of this little pittiful baby name book that Mike and I got while taking a tour of St. Mary's Hospital back in 2005.

These were the alternatives for Broderick Michael:

• Abner


• Austin


• Avery


• Baily


• Baxter


• Benjamin


• Brady


• Broderick


• Burke


• Carter


• Clayton


• Drew


• Eiden


• Elijah


• Ewen


• Finley


• Fuller


• Garret


• Gavan/Gavin


• Haddan/Hadden/Haddon


• HAuk


• Ilias


• Jacob


• Jonathan


• Kiley


• Lyndon


• Maddy


• Michael


• Nash


• Nate


• Nathan


• Nathaniel


• Neal


• Owen


• Page


• Payton


• Price


• Reed


• Sam


• Shep


• Sonny


• Stanley


• Taylor


• Val


• Van

Only a few names made it past the original picking, which were:

• Brady


• Clayton

So how did we get Broderick if it wasn't even in our last two names? Easy! There was no way in this world that I was going to walk around singing the Brady Bunch theme song when I called my sons name. I gave into Mike on the middle name Michael so he gave in on the first name Broderick. I can't picture my little devil being called anything else.

It's a ????

I know and I'm not telling!

Baby Sauser staring at their hand

Baby Sauser showing you their hand

I have other ultra sound pictures and a few in 3D I will have to wait to put those on till I can get to a scanner. The baby's heart beat was 160, and failed all of the AFP tests, YIPPIE! I go for another ultra sound Thursday, November 20th at 1 p.m. to make sure there are no other birth defects. Apparently the baby is taking my breath away! My left lung is starting to get blocked. I am now back onto my old asthama medication although I don't think I need it at all, the doctor says its a must. Baby Sauser is due April 10th, 2009.
