About 10 Weeks...

I'm flipping out a bit...If this pregnancy follows the Max route we will have a new baby girl in about 10 weeks, give or take a few! Ten weeks may sound like a long time, but it's not at all. We have so much to do, things that NEED to be done before she comes. Finishing the basement is a must, making Max's nursery into the girls room, transforming Noelle's room into Max's room, transitioning Max from a crib to a twin bed...ahhhhh!!! Not to mention buying a new SUV to fit all three car seats. It's not too bad, but considering I was told by the doctor to try and not even pick up Max, let alone manual labor around the house, it's a lot for Tom to take on. As if that isn't enough to start freaking me out, yesterday I broke my ring finger on my right hand. A very minor break requiring no cast. I would not have gone in to see the doctor had it not been for the ring on my finger. Within mere minutes of my clumsy accident my finger had swelled too much to even twist the ring. It had to be cut off. Good thing it was not my left hand and my wedding rings. But it was Tom's engineering ring he gave to me during our first week of dating, awww. How sophomoric of us!

It's more annoying than anything else. I have to keep it taped to the middle finger for 3-4 weeks. It's sore, but again the worst part is it's hindrance to normal life. . Changing a poopy diaper on a very wiggly little boy who loves to be naked is a big challenge. We just love racking up hospital bills these days!
As far as names go for this little princess, we have a few that are milling around in our heads and nothing that is permanent right now. One is Annabelle. We really want to keep away from the top 100 most popular names. I use the Social Security Administration website for reference. After having a Noelle (Rank 504) and Maximilian (Rank 315) we don't want to have an Emily (Rank 1) or Madison (Rank 5).

I'm off to ice my finger and not use it much. Surprisingly, it's easy to type while not using the right ring finger!
