slow updating here

I'm slow updating around here. Life has been VERY busy and hectic. First of all, we're having a girl! Her name will be Abigayle Claire, gayle after my mom and sister's middle name. After picking Her name, we found out Jon's grandfather is RIchard Clare and my grandfather was Richard Gail, so it honers both of our grandfathers as well, instead of using Richard. :)

They are concerned about her having pyloric stenosis, and will do another ultrasound on May 12 to determine it. If she does,it will mean a surgery after shes born, but should be relatively easy and simple. I'm very worried and nervous and usually cry when i think about it, but everyone who's had experience with this tells me there's nothing to worry about really. It's actually a great thing that it can be diagnosed now, rather than dealing with months of awful puking.

Our life is moving so fast right now. We are moving in about a month, which is much earlier than planned. It all works out much better this way, but it creates a lot of stress. I feel like I've been super woman lately, totally not by choice, but because I absolutely have to. We're having a garage sale next weekend, and we are literally selling about 1/2 of our stuff. Decluttering has never felt so wonderful and freeing!

My kids have been hilarious lately. For example, Hannah got in bed this morning with me. I asked her if I could have a hug and kiss and she said "No, Abby", pulled up my shirt, and gave my belly a hug and kiss. Some of Zach's new ones are I was changing his diaper in the back of the Suburban 2 days ago, and he said "Mommy, penis outside." yes son, it is lol!...He also made me lay down on his lap recently and told me night night, while he combed and "cut" my hair... Another "What's your name?".."Zachary A...M..." What's mommy's name?"..."Mommy A...M..." Lol..ok, that works, I have the same middle and last name as my son. ... The final one is one night, we were sitting down for dinner, when Jon realized he forgot to kiss me when he walekd in. So he got up and gave me a kiss. Zach asked what he was doing and I said "Daddy's kissing me because he loves me." Zach looks at me, gives me a huge smile and says "I love you babe!"
