My sister, Jessica, is finally getting internet hooked up her in new digs, so I thought I had better provide an update. Also thrilled to include some faithful viewers, Lauren, Lisa and my Mom (whom I doubted would ever check this out!!). Here's the update....I had a dream last night where I was calling our baby "she." I am not sure if this is a sign, but it was the first dream I have had where the sex was determined. I should also include that the dream involved me running to feed "her" every 45 minutes. Yippee! The only upside to this is that I am actually waking up frequently during the night. I suppose it is in preparation of this exciting (??? not so sure) change. As most people know, I love my sleep. I no longer am able to sleep in (until 9 or later as in my high school/college years), but I go to sleep early (8 pm---not earlier, despite what Chris or anyone else wishes to say!!). I should also note, in my defense, that I wake up rather early--5:30 am. All in all, I feel it makes me pretty normal, again, despite what others will say! The other side to this dream thing is that Chris had a similar one last night, but his was with a male baby. Interesting...guess we'll see who's right on Tuesday!
After much teasing and opposition related to an occupational name, we have changed our boy name to Mason Christopher (even though Mason is also an occupation). The girl name is Claire--no middle name yet. I would like her to have my middle name, Leigh, but that does not quite flow. We have to keep thinking about that.
I have begun to search for nursery decor and found one that I really like at Pottery Barn for Kids. My Mom, a wonderful quilter, is going to replicate this for me, which I am very excited about. It is important that my children understand the value of talents and treasure gifts...what better lesson than a quilt from Grandma. Anyway, I am thinking of painting the walls a sagey green (not sure if it will be sage, per say, but a lighter shade), throw down a rug, hang some pictures/letters on the wall and call it a nursery. It will be cute and hopefully one that will transition through toddler-hood. However, the nursery is third in our line of projects, so we have some time. We first have to finish sanding and painting all of our trimwork, and demo the attic. Hopefully I will figure out how to upload pictures this weekend, so you can see our fun.

I really enjoyed the blog today! It was quite humorous especially the relation to occupations! You really should give credit to your family for all of the humorous additions we provide you with for your blogs! We are like your muse. Haha!

By the way Claire Lynne has a nice ring!!!We can only hope she will be and beautiful and intelligent as me...ha ha!!! or if it's a boy Jesse?

Olivia looked at your blog this morning so finally you can stop bugging me to show it to her. She wondered where our pictures are...now it is only J and some people we don't even know!! Olivia thought Claire Olivia would be nice or Mason Dixon, that is my own joke. Mason is a nice name, honestly. Have a good day!
