Two Digits!

Yea! The pregnancy ticker is down to only two digits now. We're getting there, slowly but surely. I told Nick that this is probably the first pregnancy where I'm excited about the baby coming but also content with the fact that he's not here yet. They are so much easier to take care of in the womb versus out. I'm just enjoying feeling him kick and wiggle all the time. Next Monday I have my glucose screening appointment. In the past I always throw up after drinking the sugar drink, but maybe this time won't be so bad.
Nick managed to get through his 12 hr shift (the Saturday before last) and then got both his assignments turned in and took a test. The prof. still hasn't said anything about the test to the class but Nick said only 1 student turned in their test before the time was up and everyone was pretty upset with how it went. Hopefully that translates into a bad average on the test and a good score for Nick. We're excited for this semester to be behind us!
Andrew has started up with his tantrums again, but now he adds in lots of "humphs" and "sighs" and sounds that tell me how disgusted he is with my parenting. Hopefully it's a short stage he's going through because it's really annoying!
Madelyn is at the end of her month long stage of teething. She's getting 4 teeth right now and goes through about 3 shirts a day, because of all the drool. Her teeth come in so slowly! I hope these are the last ones for awhile. Everyday she is coming up with new words and repeats them over and over and over throughout the day.
We still can't agree on a name for the baby, but the ones we like are Timothy, Elijah, and Luke. Let me know what you guys like...

I really like the name Luke. That sounds fitting. Luke Timothy Nielson has a nice ring to it.

Yay for the countdown! I am getting really baby hungry, but I am determined not to even think about getting preggo until the summer.

Congrats on the double digits! I hope you'll tell me when it gets to be too much to take care of Miss Pretty. I know that she can be a handful, so when you're ready just let me know.
I think Luke is a cute name too! Will it be Lucas and then Luke for short? or just Luke? I like it.

I'm so excited for all of you. If you are in need of anything, please call me, I'm just a hop, skip and a jump. I love the choice of names. Can't wait for him to come.

I love all those names! I especially like Luke but I also really love family names so that puts Timothy up there too. Elijah is cool but third on the list for me.

Good luck with everything! You are one of my heroes for sure! Keep me posted on bridal shower plans and let me know what you need me to do!

I like all three of your names but for some reason Timothy seems to go really well with your other 2! I'm just sayin'
