Here's Looking at You, Kid

Well...first week of school is done and boy do my legs and feet hurt.  I have to go shopping for more pants because I don't fit in ANY of mine!  I can't even do that rubberband in the buttonhole thing.  The picture does not make me seem too big yet, but I feel it earlier this time.  Seriously, I am bigger than this photo makes me look (must have used a "funhouse" camera).  I'm sure I am going to have a big boy with a BIG head (Thanks Scott )  This upcoming week I will start coaching my volleyball team.  If you know me well, then you know I wouldn't give that up :)  My feet won't thank me after next week is over.

A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet

Well, it's the war of the names over here in the Anderson household.  Now that we have two very opinionated teens who "won't speak to the baby, if we call him that"(ha ha... really!?) there is just no settling on a name everyone likes.  Thank you all for your suggestions, many of them very cool, some of them not so very.  Anyhow, we are going to put the name thing to rest for a little while and then go back to it later to see if any of the names on our very looong list have grown on us...Or at least one we can all be happy with.  But let's face it, the person doing all the work here gets final say on the name (as it should be LOL) So...what I'm saying here is you all will find out the winner when the wee one is born :)

My Kingdom for a NAME!

Okay, so we had a lot of girl names picked out.  I don't think baby boy  will appreciate any of them.  We had a hard enough time picking out a name for the last boy.  I mean...Murphy?  Granted that is who he is-  he totally fits his name, and I love it.  However, we only had that name for about a month before he was born and we hadn't gotten sick of it yet like the four others we had picked out.  Given a little more time-he could have ended up as...Aloysius-who knows?  So the dilemma continues.  We are looking for a name with a "y" in it -not Aloysius(because all the kids have a y in their names)  Also, when you are a teacher, it is hard to find a name because you automatically put that name with someone you've had in your class, be it a star student or not.  So let's hear your suggestions :)  You just might help name this baby. You can click on where it says comments below and add your idea.  Good luck.

Hello Everyone :)

So at 19 weeks, we've finally announced Baby Anderson to the world.  We went for a level II ultrasound in St. Pete's on Tuesday July 31st.  I'm of "advanced maternal age" (old lady), so they had to do a special sonogram to make sure everything was going fine....and it is! Yay! Baby Anderson is now about 11oz. and looks great, as you can see by the pictures. We found out something else too......it's a boy!  That will make 3 Anderson boys.  Poor Laney :(
