Quick update and prayer request

Ok so today I feel huge. Which is quite ridiculous as I know my girth will be growing quickly from this point on. I am thinking I am not going to be a happy camper come August. She's moving more and more now kicking my butt literally. I feel her kicking towards my back so much. She likes to eat. She gets very excited from the moment I put the fork to my mouth...if I didn't know better I would swear that she could smell the food.

On another non-pregnancy related note we need some prayer here. We need to get $500 somehow in the next week. We have to get our stuff out of our old house next weekend the latest and we have no money at all to go do it. We have quite a bit of things left there and we had put it off for a long time because of snow. Our driveway is super long there and there is no way we would have gotten a moving truck down there. Now the snow's gone and time is running out. We don't want to get locked out of the house and not be able to get the rest of our things. Only problem is we don't have the money. We have literally been living pay check to pay check, much to our displeasure and we haven't been able to have enough extra to get that much saved. We desperately need prayer from all you guys out there. I have been praying about this for a while and a guy Phil works with called us and said hey I was thinking you need to get that stuff out of there I have the money you can borrow it. So we are going either way, but I need prayers to be able to get the money to pay him back. Once we get back we have lots of things we can sell and that will help. But God presented the opportunity for us to go get this stuff next weekend so I have to trust he will give us the money as well.

So we are not expecting any money from anywhere, but I have heard crazier things to happen and I am just taking this as an opportunity for God to show off. Somehow the money will come through whether it be through over time (we only have one hour right now) or something unforseen.

Please, please pray for us.

Names, names, and more names

I have a book that has 100,006 names to choose from for a baby. Do you think we could agree on one? NO! It seems like we do have some common likes, but we use the name for a few days and it just doesn't seem to fit. I don't know if this is because we haven't come across the perfect name yet, or if its that weird feeling you have calling this person by a name. I don't know about you but every time I brought a baby into this world it was always strange to start calling him or her by their name. It just seemed weird for the first few days and then it was their name and it was natural.

It doesn't help that I am a first born people pleaser and I really want others to like the name I choose. It makes the process alot more difficult. I don't know why I care because as I said if I love the name once she is here it will be her name.

I came up with my top 15 gave them to Phil and he doesn't like one of them. HAHA! This is so hard.

This probably sounds silly but I have been praying that God reveal her name to me, as I know He knows what it is. Afterall, He did create her. I keep thinking I will end up dreaming her name or something but so far nothing. I know I have time....4 months to be exact but the first 5 have flown by so I know it will come up quick. I don't want to be at the hospital and have no idea at all what she will be called.

I keep thinking that it won't come to me until I am further along. I am thinking once I have my 3D ultrasound and see her I will be able to more easily name her.

That's still 11-12 weeks from now. So for now, we keep praying and searching.
