And the name is...

Cole Wright Croshaw. I really made up my mind when Becky left her comment about using my maiden name and how she wanted to use Croshaw as a middle name for her next boy. I wasn't sure how I would really like but after seeing it typed I really like the way it looks and sounds. My brother's wives are both expecting boys this year also as well as Colin's brother's wife. That sentence sounds strange but it is almost 11pm.

Oh I can't wait to have this little guy!! I really am so tired most of the time and I can't hardly bear to pick up the clutter because that involves bending so the playroom is a bit deep right now. I am nesting a bit but I really want to paint some furniture first and then get things moved around before I wash baby things. I feel like time might be getting away though. Colin has Monday off so I am hoping to get him to work on it with me. I suppose if he would just watch the kids it could be a few hours of alone time for me if the weather is nice enough.

I swell a bit at the end of pregnancy anyway but with the heat it is worse. I haven't worn my wedding ring in weeks and feel naked without it. My feet arethe most uncomfortable and I really have to watch my salt intake. By the end of the day they feel 900 degrees and are fat. I know, elevate, elevate, elevate. My joints are getting stiff in my hands and hips. Cole is head down, I think, and loves to kick my ribs. It is just a great feeling to feel his little life inside me. I asked Colin if he ever wanted to be the one with the baby in his belly and he said I wouldn't love him as much but I am pretty dang sure I would. If only he could do it for the last 2 months.

Well now the rambling is beginning to get crazy!
