Jarett Wilson Baker

Baby Jarett entered the world around noon today. Julie and baby are doing great. There was some concern with Julie early on, but she's doing fine now. Austin and I are leaving for TX early in the morning. I'll post some pics when we return. Congratulations Jason and Julie!

Funny Prayer

Derek prayed tonight at dinner. He first prayed for the food and then proceeded to pray for Houston Nutt! He prayed that he would find a good job, but that the Hogs would beat his team if we played them!!!!!! I kept my laugh inside.

Doctor's appointment

I went to the doctor today. Everything is going fine. Her heartbeat sounded great. My veins hurt, but the support hose really help. I go back in 3 weeks and do the sugar test. YUCK! We talked about scheduling the date for the c-section. Nothing's set yet, but we're looking at February 18 (Monday) or the 20th (Wednesday). I'll schedule it for sure when I go back on Dec. 6th. By the way, we have settled on a name.........Brylee Rebecca Jobe! Mom had 3 girls and didn't name any of us after her. So here ya go Nana, Rebecca's just for you!

Things are good at work. But, man.....I'm ready for my extra 3 days off next week. Hopefully, we'll be heading to TX soon to see my new nephew. No pressure Julie! This is the first year ever that we don't have Thanksgiving plans. Kent and I talked about it tonight, and with gas over $3 and a trip to TX soon, we may stay put here in El Do. Who knows?!?

Frazzled!

Do you ever feel like a frazzled female? Lately that's how I've been describing myself. Between full time teaching, being a mom (of sick kids) and wife, being 6 months pregnant, job change for Kent, and still having my own responsibilities at church..........I'm frazzled! Thank God for His unconditional love and grace. I can't imagine going through all of this not being a Christian!

Trunk or Treat

We had our annual "trunk or treat" at church this afternoon. Kent and I disappointed several people by not dressing up. That has been our tradition the last few years, but we couldn't think of anything. Really, I thought a pregnant nun and a preist would be funny, but Kent didn't think that was appropriate...but it would have been stinkin' hillarious! The boys got so much candy, so it's back to the 2 pieces of candy a day rule.

Tomorrow I will be 23 weeks along. She is the calmest thing. Sometimes it concerns me that I don't feel her very often, but then she'll make her presence known with a little kick. I'm really curious to see how she will be as an infant outside my tummy. Kent and I have narrowed our list of names down. Well...Kent doesn't like all of these, just a few. Let me know what you think. Brylee, Julianne, Jenna, Chaney, and Kylie.

Hope everyone has a great week! I've only got 30 more days as a teacher. I'm ready to stay home and get things organized here for this little girl.

Weekend in Texas

Mom and Dad to be!

Jason and Julie had the ladies vote on their favorite name. They have had the hardest time deciding on a name. Finally, tonight, I got the call! His name is Jarett Wilson Baker. Fine choice Jason and Julie!

What a day!

It doesn't get much better than today! God is good! We are having a healthy baby GIRL, Derek played a great soccer game, I made the cutest scrapbook calendar at our ladies night, and Derek lost his first 2 teeth........yes 2!

As you can see the ultrasound pics aren't so good. I took them with my camera from the shiny, originals. First, is Derek's new smile. Then, the next 2 are of HER face. HER left hand is by HER head. The second one is a little better than the first one. You may be able to distinguish the face better. Next, two femurs and no wee wee :). And last, the arrow is pointing to the all important 3 lines that mean GIRL!

At the ultrasound, it was so funny. Derek has been saying girl for the longest and of course, Austin wanted a boy. So, when Dr. Watson said it was a girl, Austin hit the table with his fist and then was in a bad mood for several hours to follow. I don't think it was so much the girl part, but that Derek was right and he was wrong! I told him he could help me name her and that helped the attitude a little :)

I came home around 9:30 p.m. from our ladies night and Derek was awake and said his bottom teeth hurt. Now, I have tried at least 10 times to pull this stubborn tooth. I told him it needed to come out tonight! I tried 4 times and it finally came out!!!!!!! YAY! Then the tooth that was beside it scooted over to the middle immediately and became extremely loose. I told Derek I thought he could pull this one on his own.........and he did! So, right now, under his pillow, in a baggie, are 2 sweet little teeth. He also put 2 suckers in there for the Tooth Fairy!

It has been a great day! I'm going to TX tomorrow with mom to go to Julie's baby shower! I'll post pics of the two pregnant sisters soon!
