Lucy is 6 months old!

I can't believe Miss Lucy Jane is 6 months old...actually almost 7 now! She is crawling, laughing and melting this lil' family's hearts. Everyone drops anything at a chance to hold Lucy. She giggles at funny faces, funny sounds and at almost anything Boston does. I can't even imagine how life would be if we had not had our little "cherry on top" Lucy. It's obvious she is has a very precious little spirit meant to be part of our family. I thank Heavenly father everyday for her safe arrival. She loves chocolate and to snuggle with mommy...my personal fave! (yes...she is 6 months old and loves chocolate...don't ask. Part of the fun of having older sibs that feed you stuff Mommy won't...lol) WE LOVE LUCY!

I'm going to be a LOSER!

I am really excited. I am entering the Biggest Loser Fall 2010 contest. Contest runs September 1st to December 1st. (This is a local mom thing, not the real TV show)I'm going to lose these 20 pounds yet. I am going to track my progress on my blog and theirs. (http://biggestloserfall2010.blogspot.com/) I think being "accountable" will really help me. I will post my before pics asap. The first few things I am committing to are as follows:
~ Exercise 5 times a week...at least 3 of them MUST be cardio.
~ Drink 10 glasses of water a day.
~ Never eat after 7 pm.
~ Stay on calorie target


I BELIEVE IN ME! NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS!

Baby Countdown!

Well it's absolutley amazing considering where we started to think that I am 38.5 weeks along in this pregnancy! The baby is looking great and mommy is 150% ready to be done. I have been contracting tons for a month now and have been sent home from the hospital once. We are currently dilated to a 5 and 80% effaced. SO... it can't be too long now! Worst case scenario the doc will induce on April 13. That of course feels so far away yet I know it isn't. We are still debating on the name but do have it narrowed down to 2. Either Ruby Jane Taylor or Lucy Jane Taylor. I love both names for different reasons. I am hoping to have a big moment of enlightenment when she is born that tells us what she should be named. ;) Stay tuned for baby updates and pics when she finally makes her big debute! I can't wait to hold you in my arms precious baby girl!

The Name Game!

Ok, so we are so excited to be having a girl. (Our lil tie- breaker..3 girls and 2 boys - the FINAL score!) Although, now the naming challenge is in FULL SWING! Anth and I have very different taste in names. I gave him list of 35 names...35!!!! He put a "NO" on all but 3...and they were "maybe's." The 3 "maybe's" are Siciliy ,Annie, Olivia. My #1 and #2 picks are Lucy and Ruby. Anth hates both of them. His #1 pick is Charlie. It's cute, but not my favorite because of another girl named Charlie that I knew. Killed the name for me. Both of our other girls names are our Great grandma names so I would like to keep going with that but don't 100% love any of the other names we have to choose from. (1 of our "maybe's" is a great grandma,(Annie) but we can't come up with any other great grandma names so far.) Sorry great great great grandmas! I love you still though! I know this is silly but because the other 2 girls names end in the "E" sound, I want this one too...I know OCD! 11 weeks left to figure it out! Well, 11 weeks IF I go full term... never have in 4 other pregnancies, but we shall see.
