So I have officially stopped the count down now.

I actually think I am not ready for this baby to come yet and it is just simply way too soon.

so it is going to have to wait.

Here is a list of why the baby can't come yet.

1. This is the 1st baby I have had since my mom passed away, I think I am getting sadder as I get closer to the actual date that she won't be here

2. Name conflict- my vote is for Grace- in fact I have already hung it on the wall. We will be limited to names we can spell with Grace rearranged. Acre or Ager or cager just don't work for me.

3. Middle name conflict- well not so much a conflict as I have no good ideas when it comes to middle names so any suggestion would be appreciated.

4. I haven't cleaned out all my cupboards yet.

5. the sleepless nights I know I am in for without the aid of caffeine

Now that I know that I am going to be fat forever because this baby simply can't come yet, I think I will go lay on the couch, watch hgtv and eat cookies.

Edit to previous

Sorry- I was writing that post at 1:00am because I couldn't sleep - apparently I am not that coherent because I forgot to mention that those were pictures of Jacob and Merry as babies. We are wondering if we will get the brown baby version or the pink baby version this time.

Let the count down begin

2 more weeks until baby Stott #3 is going to arrive
That is May 7 for those without a calendar handy
(unless she decides to make her debut earlier- which I doubt)
Jacob and Merry have been having a debate over what color hair she will have. Jacob is pretty sure it will be dark brown like his and Merry is sure it will be pink. As for a name- that has yet to be decided, Jacob is voting for just baby.

Lost and Found

My keys disappeared a couple of weeks ago- The scary part was the last time I remember seeing them was when Merry was walking home from the mail box.  I was sure that she dropped them on the way home and some strange person had my keys.  Brian and Jacob went to Utah a couple days after my keys disappeared so I was so paranoid the whole week he was gone that some one was going to break into my house.

Any way we were working in the garden over the weekend and decided to move some pumpkins that had sprouted in our front yard where our pumpkin had started to rot into the garden in the back.   When Brian dug up the pumpkins he found my keys-  Merry had so kindly hid them in the garden.  I am so excited to finally have my keys back.

Soccer Star

Jacob at his first soccer game.
It is pretty entertaining to watch 3 year old soccer. Jacob spent most of his time finding dirt clods to throw or other random things that got left on the field. When he actually chased the ball he scored 2 goals.

What's bloomin

I love spring time- here is a peek at what is blooming in my garden

Amaryllis

Thrift with pin cushions in the background

Snapdragons and petunias

a red amaryllis

Iris "Betty sills" and stock

"stella de oro" daylily and daisies

guara and more daylilies

lots of tomatoes

beans- how cute are these

Merry quite contrary checking out her garden

Other random photos

Typical end of day look at my house-

Merry was telling Jacob that he had a little, teeny bit of dirt of his face - I guess she hadn't looked in the mirror yet

Jacob usually isn't wearing pants at the end of the day- actually it is usually by lunch

Merry posing in front of our house - my roses are starting to bloom- I love spring time

Last but not least, my 30th birthday is this week- we celebrated this weekend because Brian is taking Jacob to Utah to visit his dad this week. Brian had a smashing party for me and now I have half a cheesecake in my fridge to eat- how can life get any better than that.
Side note
I finally put together Merry's twin bed, so that we would have some where for the baby to sleep. This plan didn't work to well as Jacob decided that he would like to sleep in Merry's new bed and Merry decided she really didn't want to move from the crib yet. As I am posting Jacob is fast asleep and Merry is screaming on the top of her lungs "wake up sleepy head" to Jacob. Lucky for me he sleeps really soundly.
