It's A ...!

BABY!
heheh...now did you really think I would cave that easy?! :)
We had our ultra sound today and everything looks great. Baby looks healthy and very active. Praise God!
And NO we did not find out the gender! Go us! I have to say it was tempting but we resisted. Bryan was watching the screen very intently. I think he thought if he looked hard enough he would be able to tell.
Our guesses are still the same. I think it's a boy and he is convinced it is a girl.
Keep the boy name suggestions coming because if I am right, at this point he will not have a name. :)

From Baby to Big Girl.

Where oh where did my baby go?
I was looking at the pictures that I took of Payton over the past few days and I can't believe how much of a big girl she has become. It has me wondering where my baby went.

Names?

This post may seem premature but due to the fact that Payton didn't have a name until two weeks before she was born and we knew she was a girl, I would like to start early with this one...at least get some names on the list which is a challenge for us. So I am seeking help.
We really are ok with girls names. We seem to have a good list going, however, the boys names are a completely different issue. I don't know why this is such a problem but we just can't agree on anything and frankly I can't even come up with ones that I really want to fight for.
The ones on the list are 'ok' but I feel like 'ok' isn't good enough. I have not heard or seen one that I love...very frustrating.
So I would love any ideas people have and are willing to share!
(if you want to throw in a girls name here and there that is ok too :)

A Bike for Bryan

It was my wonderful hubby's birthday yesterday. He had a great day....time with the family and time with friends.
Payton and I got to surprise him with a new Trek bike (with some help from our Moms and Dads). Something he has wanted for quite some time.
He really likes it. :)

Bedtime Update

The bedtime battles are over (& have been for some time now)! YEAH!
About two nights after my post regarding Payton's new bedtime wars, I figured out the solution. I started to think about when this new behavior started and when I put the time line together I thought maybe it had something to do with the time change. So I decided to put her to bed an hour later then normal just to see what happened and sure enough, 5 minutes of light sobbing and then sleepy time. The following night I put her to bed at 8:50 and there was about 3 sec of sobbing then sleepy time.
I figured it out! It was a little strange though because the first few nights after the time change she was fine. That is why I didn't think that was the issue at first. I moved bedtime up 10 minutes every night until she was back on track.
