Life update!

I am terrible at updating this thing. Let's see where to start....

Baby Douglas
Baby Douglas is a boy! and what a boy he is (if you get my drift).We have settled on the name Jace and have recently started changing the middle name around. We are contemplating three middle names Rhys, Marshall, and Jaxon (Jackson). Personally, I would prefer Marshall as it has some meaning, it was my great-great grandfather's name and I think that it would be nice to re-use an older name that is dying out. Dave is torn.

I am doing well in the weight gain department, I am now 30 weeks and have only gained 9 lbs! The doctor is a little concerned, hence an ultrasound in 2 weeks. So our due date can change or I could have been just a good pregnant girl! Ok, I am not going to lie, I eat Oreos, ice cream Snickers and I go through about 3 gallons of milk a week by myself! I even try to eat a huge breakfast on days I have to go to the doctor. I am just not gaining weight and I swear I am trying. Dave has had to defend my eating habits to the doctor on more than one occasion. So the good news, I will pop this baby out and go home in my pre-pregnancy clothes! WOO HOO!

The baby shower is on January 26th and will be held at my parents house. I know we have tons of out of town family and they would like to send to gifts for Baby J. We are registered at Babies R Us and Target. Our Babies R Us registry has a ton of stuff on it (have you been to that store? I could stay all day long with my scanner. Its shopping and not spending money!) Please please check the registry prior to buying something, I am at the waddling stage and I don't want to have to waddle to the store to exchange things because I got (2). Also, if there is something not on our registry and you just would have died if you didn't have when you had a newborn, I WANT IT! :)

Coach Douglas
We received some news that Dave's graduate asisstant position with UH would not be renewed. They were not generally happy with his performance. Which is fine, if you can find someone else who practically slept at the office everyday and their performance is much more satisfying... go right ahead. We will move on (which was a part of our plan anyway) to bigger and better things. The news was a bit stunning considering Dave's work ethic and how hard he had worked. God has closed this door but will open a door/window soon. We should hear something soon about a job in Louisiana like around Jan 1st, so please pray this is the job for Dave. He would appreciate all of your prayers and thoughts and positive energy!
