Not much to report

not much going on around here. i'm trying my best to take it easy and rest up before the baby comes. we've decided on his name - it'll be elliot christopher. not sure about the spelling of elliot, but that's his name. emily calls him eric, i call him everett and ethan just calls him baby. i like everett a lot better, but dan took the fun out of that name when he changed his mind and decided he would not let me call him rhett, so elliot he will be. i'm not too bummed though, elliot is a good name. he should feel lucky - he's the only mcneal baby to be named before his/her 38th week. actually, ethan was not "ethan" until after he was born. dan was sure i'd give in and let his name be jacob & i was holding on tight to ethan. i won, but i think only because he was born at 3:45 in the morning. dan was probably too tired to discuss it anymore. :)

also, thank you all for the kind comments on my last post. i know things will all be worked out, so i'm really not stressing, well, not too much. my blood pressure was up a little at my last appointment, so i can't afford to dwell on what may/may not happen - or how things will turn out. the only thing we know for sure is i'll have a baby, and we'll move. that's all!

since i don't have a ton to say, i thought i'd end with some pictures.

their latest fun thing to do is to take everything out of ethan's changing table and get inside. i don't care what they are doing these days as long as they don't make each other bleed...


sometimes, you just gotta let them sleep where they want too!

i count myself lucky emily even naps anymore, so again, who cares where she finally goes down. i've been told some kids give them up around 3; i need her to nap until she's 5!!!

Aren't kids adorable when they are sleeping! My kids are going to have at least 1 1/2 hours of quite time everyday until they go to school...for my health, and theirs.
