So we found out yesterday that we will be having another boy!  Yay!  We are excited.  It will make it so much easier to prepare for the new baby with Chris gone.  I'm sure Shaden will love having a little buddy.  

Now to figure out a name.  We want to use Jonathan as the middle name.  We are considering a few right now.  What do you think of these:

Jayce Jonathan

Merick (or spelled Marek) Jonathan

Parker Jonathan

Bryson Jonathan

Kayde Jonathan

These are just a few of the ones I like and Chris hasn't immediately gone "NO Way."  We want to stay away from the main stream so if these sound out of the ordinary that's the point.  :)

Easy Patient

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday.  We were running a little bit late because of traffic to get on post and construction around the hospital.  Thankfully my doctor was also running behind.  It seemed that her appointment before me was taking a lot longer than she thought it would.  This happened a few times with my appointments with Shaden.  It makes me wonder if I don't ask enough questions or if I'm just an easy patient.  

My family doesn't have any major illnesses and I am healthy and don't drink or smoke or do drugs, so I like to think I am an easy patient.  

Why I start wondering about this is because my appointment only lasted 10 minutes.  And that was with me asking a few questions.  

I'm not complaining at all.  I like to be the person that can help catch a doctor up to her schedule.  And my last doctor would always thank me for making her job easier.

Now for some news from the appointment.  The baby is healthy, in the right position, and has a strong heart beat.  And is due sooner than previously thought!  According to the early ultra sound the due date is now October 10, 2009.  I was a little shocked by this news.  I was thinking the doctor would tell me that the baby was due later than thought.

This is great news for one thing: Chris will be able to go to the 20 week ultra sound!  Which is now scheduled for next week.  Hopefully we will be able to find out if its a boy or a girl.  I like knowing.  Chris was really disappointed when he wasn't able to come to the first ultra sound and was also going to miss the next one, so this is wonderful!

Great Birthday!

I had a wonderful, terrific, awesome birthday!

Chris was supposed to be stuck at the range all day, but got pulled off that assignment.  YAY!  He was able to come home for lunch (which is always nice).  Then he got released early!  Another YAY!  Especially since he has been getting released late recently.  

We decided to go to Carrabbas Italian Grill for dinner, because I wanted some place with a good dessert.  I remembered going there with Chris's family and getting dessert "shots."  So we ended up going slightly earlier than we normally eat dinner and got seated right away.  Dinner was delicious!  I love their Pollo Rosa Maria with Garlic Mashed Potatoes.  Yum!  Shaden is such a good eater and loved sharing my chicken and potatoes and of course some of Chris's pasta.  Then we asked about desserts.  Sad to say they aren't doing dessert "shots" any more.  BUT... We ordered this dessert called "Sogno Di Cioccolata."  OMG!!!!  It was sooooo very good!  It is two layers of rich fudge brownie with shaved chocolate crowned with chocolate mousse, topped with a little whipped cream and chocolate sauce.  We also added a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  It was heavenly.  I know what you are thinking... sounds like a lot of chocolate, it's probably too rich.  But it wasn't overly chocolate or too rich at all.  It was nice and creamy and oh so yummy.

While we were waiting for our dessert to come, an older gentleman came up to Chris and asked him if he was a soldier.  He started talking to Chris and telling him about what he did when he was in the army.  Then he said, "I would like to pay for your dinner."  My jaw nearly hit the floor.  He proceeded to thank Chris for serving in the military and tell him what a nice family he has and then he went back to his table with his friends.  After the uber yummy dessert came our waitress told us that our ticket was paid for by another patron and thanked us for coming.

After we left the restaurant we went over to Target and Chris bought me a Wii and Mario Kart!  I love it!  Mario Kart has been one of my favorite games since I was little and we had a Super Nintendo.  We got home and proceeded to play!

I am so grateful that I was able to spend the afternoon/evening with Chris and Shaden!  It was a wonderful birthday!

Going to the Airport

I remember sometime while in Greeley, watching this extremely cheesy LDS video where a couple went to the airport on a date.  It was over the top, but I have to admit I thought the idea of going to the airport on a date was fun.  Today, if you were to do that, you wouldn't be able to watch people board the planes, take off, or ride the tram at DIA.  Security is much tighter now.

BUT!  I am soooo excited, because we get to go to the airport and fly somewhere!  I love to fly!

 Also, I still love to go to the airport.  It is one of the best places to people watch.  There is so much emotion shown at the airport.  So many different reasons to be at the airport too.  People going on business trips.  People going on vacations.  You can see the excitement they have.  People coming home from vacation.  You can often see that they need a vacation from the vacation before they go back to work and school.  People picking up friends and family that are here to visit.  LOVE and Happiness!  People saying goodbye to friends and family that are leaving after visiting.  LOVE and Sadness.  And so many others!

I get so excited for any chance to go to the airport.  I even have been having fun dreams about it.  So, I would like to thank Nick and Margaret for an extra WONDERFUL reason to go to the airport and fly!
