peaceful and resting.

all my babies are resting right now. even amelya. THAT is the feat. i don't think she is feeling a hundred percent though. (don't worry melissa no puke!) she is actually sleeping. so please just keep her in your prayers. my little man is softly cooing himself to sleep on my chest. all snuggled up in my moby wrap. i love this thing. and i love a sleeping baby on my chest even more!!

i scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow after noon. it's at a 'free' clinic that i went to when i found out we were pregnant with dustin. they do free pregnancy testing and ultrasounds. when i was there with dustin i felt 'bad' using a free service. but the nurse told me that they wanted me to come in because they can always use the practice. so i thought it was a perfect opportunity. so i'm taking that opportunity again to go there. it's a really nice resource and isn't being funded by tax dollars, just donations. :0) so i'm super stoked to be able to see baby e.

i also am teaching my first cloth diapering class tomorrow. i'm excited about that as well. i'm hoping for a decent turn out. and need to get my information ready for that. guess what i'll be doing after this. lol. for those of you in my area its at the mom and pop place at eleven!!

awww. dustin is now softly sleeping. i wish i would've had a wrap or sling with my first two. i didn't get one til i was pregnant with caitlyn. amelya and i spent hours asleep together in our chair. i would've loved to have her snuggled up on me like this too. oh well.

so. you all know my blog name is "proud mommy of four". what should my NEW name be. because it ain't four anymore! proud mommy of five just seems....i dunno...uncreative? to me. so i'm looking to YOU to help me. with nursing and being pregnant my brain cells are down. so i need your brain cells to help me. should we have a contest? like you all give me your ideas. i'll pick my favorite three or something. and then we could all vote. hmmm. maybe. so start thinking.

i also am serious about any baby 'e' name suggestions. so far i like emilee and eden for girls. and i'm wishy washy on eli or elijah for a boy...because i'd want him to be just eli or just elijah. not elijah AND eli. make sense. i like them both though. ezra has been suggested a couple of times. i must say i'm liking that too. shaun wasn't too keen on it. he thinks this baby should have a 'z' name. lol. you know...the end of the alphabet. but i think z would be just as hard as e. so i'll stick with e. and i figure i may be able to talk shaun into ezra because it has the z in it. we could call him zra for short if he feels the need. no. never mind. i don't like zra. ezra is much nicer.

so you all have a major task ahead. naming my blog and potentially my child!! lol. i'm also stuck on middle names. like IF this is our last baby who should we name him/her after? if anyone. the four other kiddos middle names are all after someone. and amelya and dustin's first names are. here's the low down::

amelya (my grandma's middle name) francis (shaun's dad's middle name)

breigh (because that's a name we liked) mayann (a combo of my mom's middle name and mine and my mother in laws middle name)

caitlyn (because i've ALWAYS wanted a caitlyn...even though i never imagined calling her caity) michaela (shaun's middle name is michael. we thought caitlyn was 'it'. so we named her after shaun)

dustin (shaun's brother's middle name) russell (my dad's middle name)

hmmm. i just realized they're all named after middle names. interesting. when i was pregnant with amelya i came up with the middle name kamielle in a dream! yes a dream. the k was for shaun's sister, the am was for my sister and the ielle was for shaun's other sister. all those letters are from their FIRST names. so we'll see if this little e is a girlie then i could go with kamielle after all our sisters.

i haven't decided yet if i want to find out if this is a boy or girl. we did not know at all with our first three girls. we decided to find out on number four. i was glad to know what we were having because i bought him an entire wardrobe last summer at rummage sales. it worked out quite perfectly!! although it was hard because we didn't tell what we were having, so i rummaged not around my home town. and the one i did rummage at was a few days before his birth and i swore them to secrecy. i can not pass up great deals on clothes like that! i love rummage sale time. i just want to know whoever came up with the idea of having a sale in your garage for ppl to buy your stuff. you know? like if you really think about it, it's kind of weird. but i'm weird, so i fit in quite well.

i will admit, i would love another little boy. a little brother for dustin to have to play with. and another member of the testosterone team in our house!! plus i 'feel' that my sister is having a boy. so what fun would that be to have all three of them close in age?! amy says she feels boy too. so we'll see. i know that we'd both take either or. but i must say having a girl would be 'weird' when i'm so used to this boy stuff now. lol.

oh and i don't think i've ever said how far along i am. according do a normal 28 day cycle i'm due around christmas. but my cycle wasn't 28 days. so if i go according to the length of my cycle i'm due around new year's day. so we'll see. that puts me somewhere around seven-ish weeks. wow. almost two months already.

the bummer part is i never got brave enough to wear my un-maternity clothes. so i'm already wearing maternity pants. i will say i'm secretly excited to at least be pregnant and wearing them not not pregnant and wearing them. oh well. either way it's nice. i feel bad though because i'm rushing my friend out of my maternity clothes that i borrowed to her. BUT she tried on some pre-pregnancy clothes FIVE WEEKS after having her baby and they fit. so that says something for her. way to go. i'm not brave enough i guess. and it makes me not feel as bad asking for the rest of them back. because i know how hard it can be for some to lose the weight right away. i am not one of those 'rubber band' type ppl. i'm kind of hmmmm like a blob of jello pretty much. i do not snap back into place. i wiggle and jiggle into place.

okay. so now i'm talking all crazy. i'm off to get that cloth diaper stuff ready and try to figure out something yummy for supper. i'm leaning towards tacos. simple. easy. and way yummy. or pizza. because that has been my hugest craving. greasy pizza. yummy. :0)

oh and if you want to know. i haven't been 'getting sick' i just 'feel sick' all day long. which is pretty similiar to the other pregnancies. i would much rather feel sick then get sick. so i'm content with this.

alrighty then. i think i covered everything. so have a super night.
