Names

Now that we know we're having a boy, we can settle down and concentrate on picking a name. Wow, it's really hard. We have no ideas...actually I do and I will run them down with you. Tell me what you think.
There are two options:
1. We can embrace our nordic heritage and hope for another white haired, bright blue eyed baby and name him....Sven, Leif, Soren, Erik, etc.
2. We can steal our siblings name picks. HAH. Don't think I won't do it, because I would. For example, my brother told me the other day he wants a boy named Simon. Stolen. Another brother said he wants a boy named George. Stolen. Somebody else wants to name their baby Max. They better watch out!
Anyways, if anybody has any good suggestions, we would appreciate them. Me especially, since Truston's main role in this whole process is saying 'no, I knew somebody with that name' or 'no, that's weird.'

Chattering

I took this video a while ago and forgot that I had it on my camera.
Talmage talks ALL day, don't ask me what he's saying, though. I can't translate.
I guess we're doing a little better now, at least I know when he's saying, 'no way' to me.

Easter Egg Hunt

This Saturday we had an Easter Egg Hunt with our ward. It was really fun (even though it rained), and we even had a special Easter visitor. I was a little reticent about the bunny because Talmage is normally scared of those kind of things. I watched him anxiously as the Easter Bunny came out. His eyes got wide and he started walking towards him with a huge smile, pointing and laughing. The whole time the Easter Bunny was with us, he just followed him around the field, laughing and pointing. I wish I would've had a video camera, it was so funny. As proof, here is a picture.

Gender

It's a boy!
A little friend for Talmage.

did you know....

Did you know what Hannah Montana has her own anti-persperant.
Wow.
It's called Secret Rock Star Rose.

It was a good day.

On Thursday, after I had a good morning workout and feeling on cloud 9, I did something I would normally NEVER do. In fact, I have been procrastinating this certain item for..ah... months.
I called our insurance company.
If anybody has ever in this life or previous lives called an insurance company for any reason whatsoever, they know what I'm talking about.
Several things are guaranteed to happen:
1. You will wait for at least 15 minutes to talk to a person.
2. You will have no idea what they're talking about when you do talk to a real person.
3. You will feel swindled.
4. You will start using bad words and making death threats.
5. You will think.."Could this be any worse?" and then you remember some stupidos are trying to socialize medicine and you horrifically realize it could get worse...

BUT

That did not happen! I did have to wait a while to talk to a guy, but he was super nice, explained everything clearly and slowly and broke the happy news that there was several hundred dollars waiting for me to be reimbursed. Awesome. Then he told me more good news, I have even more money waiting for me to use. It just kept getting better. I was ready to profess my love to this man. It was awesome.

Hah.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and this morning I did 3 100 IM's.
Hah.
It's going to be a good day.
