I met up with all the LDS women at the stake center for Quilt tying and the RS broadcast. 1/4 of the Women were nursing babies, another 1/4 were as pregnant as I am and the other half were past their birthing years. I met a woman whose due date is the 17th of October and I felt so bad for her that I offered my hand to help her out of the pew. We watched the broadcast in agony while our toes turned into tight little sausages and we frequently wiggled our rings off to let the sweat dry under them. I can't speak for her but my tail bone couldn't take much more. When the closing prayer ended I/we popped up and waddled in unison to our cars.
We have a doctors appointment again this week and I'm anxious to see if I've gained anymore weight. The scale at Publix says I didn't but it always lies. I feel heavier and all my maternity clothes are tight. Really tight. Wayland came home early from work on Friday and caught me walking around the house in my grannie undies. He was very surprised and I apologized but my pants were too tight so I took them off during Martha Stewart.
Saturday:
Gretchen and Brielle went with me to shop for a bassinet. We wanted a second-hand one because I know how long those things get used. We went to Goodwill, then 2 Garage sales and then the Salvation Army where we found the most adorable wicker bassinet on wheels before 9:45 am. To top it off it was 50% off. Of course we had to buy a replacement bassinet pad which was $20.00 but we still only paid $39.00 total. We also bought an old school wooden high chair for $15.00 (the money we saved). It was a very successful morning.
Also....
We have decided on a name. Well, Wayland says he's 60% on this name but I'm tired of searching. We've decided to honor a couple of Grandma's and hope that the other couple of Grandma's do not feel left out or offended.

Elaine (Lainie) Rosalie Paxman I am so excited about this baby! I want to hold her and kiss her and smell her wobbly head. It may be hormones but when I think about her tears well up. I've never felt this way about a baby before and I am so grateful for the bond I am already forming with her. I also feel guilty because maybe I didn't give Gretchen and Brielle as much as I should have. I've found myself over compensating for this lately. It's good for them to feel a little extra love during such a big transition I think.

Oh my goodness, I don't where to begin. This was an awesome blog. Thanks. I loved hearing all of this from you. We know so little about one another because of the distance between us. Take care..... You are almost at the finishing line.

Love the name!! You are on the final stretch, good luck.
I am really flattered with the name! But I don't want to get too excited because you guys might change your mind. And I think it goes so well with Rosalie.
By the way' this is grandma great.
