Life is about to get a lot more interesting....another boy! All is well, everything looks normal and we are right on track for a December birth.
Sammy showed his first bit of excitement about the new baby last night when we showed him the pictures. He was so sweet. He told us how he can help feed him and change his diapers...but also how he will share all of his toys with him. Made me proud.
Thinking of a name is a little more difficult than is was with Sam. Sam's name came swiftly and easily...but we can't seem to get a grasp of this one. A lot of my friends have used the input of the sibling...but so far Sammy has given us some pretty outrageous names. Stuff he has made up. I'm surprised he didn't say "Booty Head" since that is his phrase of choice these days. Everybody is a booty head...or just booty. Day care has done wonders for his vocabulary!
So, there is much to do as we plan for this new adventure. We have decided to move back to Tennessee, a decision that was not taken lightly. We want to be there before baby 2 is born so that we are settled. The last thing I want to do is have the baby and then figure out where we are going to live! So, luckily, we may have found a house and we both have jobs waiting for us...it won't be long until we are back in the Volunteer State. I have to say that I miss it. All I ever wanted to do is move back "home" to Virginia...but I guess I never really stayed in one place long to feel at home until TN. I lived there for 10 years...prior to that is was a year here a year there...no real roots. Tennessee is different, Jim and I met there and started our lives together, Sammy was born there, I bought an lost my first house there, I have worked for the same company for nearly 9 years...it is where we belong and I am just realizing that. I will miss my family in Virginia for sure. I love them dearly and enjoy every minute we spend together...I will just have to make sure I came back more than twice a year. I just want normalcy and stability for Sammy, especially. He has been very confused since we moved and it is heart breaking to hear him ask about his home...where is it?...why do we live here?...this is not our home...he says all of the time. I'm ready to move on and start over....not in VA but back in TN. Wish us luck!
