I'm beginning to feel more prepared, or maybe its just my mood today. I feel like I know what I'm getting into now, at least a little more than I did before. I'm still scared to death of taking care of this baby for three months by myself, with Matt across the world doing who knows what. But we recently found out that most likely he'll be in a non-hostile environment, although possibly still in Iraq. We're just praying very hard that he is placed somewhere safe, but it sounds like there's a pretty good chance he'll be staying on the base and not driving convoys anymore. Which would be so incredibly nice, to know he's not in the middle of nowhere being shot at and driving over IED's.

Plus, I've got Megan down the street from me. She has been a HUGE help, and I know she'll just continue to bless me over these next months. She's already committed to coming over and helping with Baby, and walking the dogs with me. I'm so thankful God placed her not only at Starbucks, but two blocks from my home! She's such a huge support for me, and I can't imagine what I'd be doing without her at this point.

We're STILL trying to decide on a boy's name, Matt's decided he doesn't like Ephraim at all. So I'm letting go of it (although I LOVE the name). We're still debating between three or four, and I just pray that we have one picked out before the baby arrives! Or that its a girl... I'm still undecided on what I want in that department too. Honestly, it really doesn't matter to me. I'm just so excited to be supporting a living, breathing thing inside my body right now.

I went out and bought some maternity clothes yesterday, and I'm excited about them! They're so incredibly cute, and will look great when summer comes around and my belly is really getting big.

We have a guy moving in with us for a month or two, since his lease is up and his roommate is moving in with another guy, he doesn't have a place to go for a while. So we wont be setting up, or painting, the nursery for another couple of weeks. I'm hoping this is REALLY temporary, because I would like everything to be done and taken care of before Matt deploys. If I can't find out what the baby is exactly, then I want everything else set up and put together so Megan and I won't have to try and do it all by ourselves.
