I have so much that I need to get done and no motivation. I've been extremely blessed with my other three children to have my mom close by. With all my other pregnancies my mom would come visit for a weekend, about six weeks before I was due, and help me get ready. All I had to do was make a list and it happened. The most fabulous thing was I got all the stuff done that you normally would never get taken care of...fridge and freezer cleaned, carpets cleaned, fans and base boards wiped cleaned, bathrooms made spotless, every closet/ garage organized and any other odd ball thing you needed. Sadly this time around my mom is in another state and I've yet to hit that "nesting" stage. I'm simply just to tired and can't be bothered. I still have to dig the baby clothes and car seat out of the garage (they're still packed away from when we moved from Arizona!) We shall survive though and this baby is coming whether we are organized and spotless.
Sadly we still have no idea what this child will be named. Hopefully we'll figure it out before we leave the hospital. I think we'll just take the baby name book with us and play eny, meeny, miny, moe. I like a few names but all I get from Kevin is 'the look' so we shall see. Here are the ones in the running... Eli, Tucker, Henry and Oliver (Kev says absolutely no to this one because we already have and Olivia). I have a few others but these are what I feeling right now, it seems to change weekly. We're still up for any suggestions, so do share.
And last but not least here is a picture for all of you who doubt I'm really pregnant. I'm not a huge fan of fat, pregnant pictures of myself but here I am in all my glory.

Yay a picture of you! You are so cute. You and Ben look so alike its kind of scary. I wish I could come and help you and my sister at the same time but maybe I'll get a job here soon and have to actually have a life :( Tell Ryley to pick up a broom and start helping!
Thanks for taking the time to post. We really miss you guys and are really thankful for any and all points of communication. You look wonderful and I must add beautiful I think the glow of pregnancy is amazing. The roundness goes away and you have such an awesome little package to remember it all by. Arthur and Everett are names to throw in to the pot. Little RETT would be an uncommon name and you are in the south now. So what do you think ;-). We love you and miss you. I do wish that we were a tad bit closer so we could help get you ready. Just know that you will have help with all that stuff when we all come when the baby is born. Never to late to get things done.
You look beautiful. Congrats. I am so excited for you!! But, I can't help on the boy name, I had a hard time last time. Girl name this time was hard enough. :)
you look great!!!! I miss having a pregnant belly! for what it's worth I like Eli
WE did the baby name book. It is amazing how we have gone in with "the" name and ended up with something different after we saw the baby. Good luck with the "nesting" just get out the car seat and clothes nothing else is really that important yet anyway.
You are adorable! I can't wait to pencil this baby into my calendar. Not that it makes a huge difference to me, but I never really knew exactly when you were due since I was always getting the facts from Nate. We are fans of the name Eli over here but know whatever you decide will be great. Hang in there! Hopefully your visiting teachers will read this post and come and clean your house for you!
Katie,
Have you thought about Patrick Daniel (Tillman)? Your dad still thinks Jack would be a great name, especially after he watches "24" with Jack Bauer. Cooper is always a solid choice. The pictures were great of you and the family. I can hardly wait until March 23, maybe I can still get your house in order before the little guy arrives, after all I am bringing my posse, grandma Brady, to help!!! Love mom and dad!!!!
How about Brady? Isn't that your mom's maiden name? I heard Grayson the other day, kind of cute. Paxton "Pax" is one I heard that is cute too. Good luck! Thanks for finally posting a picture...
You look great! We all know what I look like at 6 weeks left! good luck with the delivery. I always hated my c-section. Visit Nik's bog and you will feel better about being pregnant. Maybe her nesting will rub off a little. good luck with that, and the name. Is your mom going out there after??
Woo Hoo! You only have a about 4 weeks left:) We are scheduled to go in on Mar 29th to be induced if everything is favorable. I'm happy to have a date and some control over it! I hate those trips to the hospital at 2am when you have other kids to get to the sitter, etc!
So are you any closer to knowing where you will go from Texas? We hope to see you in NC! Good luck with the nesting. I have yet to hit that stage but am gearing up to cook and freeze meals soon.....
Congratulations, we hope all goes well with your delivery! I can definitely relate to not having family around for a baby! I was sad to move away when I was 5 months pregnant with our first baby. Thank goodness for friends and church members! You look so cute pregnant, but you always look cute! Here are some baby names that I like but may never use since we keep having girls! Miles, or Milo, Brady sounded good, and Caleb. I hope you figure it out! It is so hard to decide, Aaron has named both our girls!
