Well if you haven't been following the voting - it was a landslide. The name is set. We just got back from the Doctor. Ethan weighs 3.6 pounds. We did a 3D sono, He appears to be perfectly healthy and normal with the exception of one GIANT nose. Me and Joel saw it at the same time and said "is that his nose!?" Joel said if he could be born with that nose full of nickels neither one of us would have to go back to work.! But I'm sure it will be precious. I suspect he will see that sono picture later on in life when he least expects it; such as graduation or wedding day. I asked Joel to post the pic but he said he didn't think he could get it all on one computer screen.
Christmas is finally here. I am sad that I have to work though. That's the shift worker blues. Joel got lucky this year and his days off fell perfectly so he will be traveling to his family then on to the ranch.
I will miss my mom and dad terribly this year but will look forward to seeing them later on in the year.
I am about officially done with the pregnancy thing. It has lost it's glamour. I cannot seem to get comfortable when I am trying to sleep. I have indigestion when I lay down. Any advice from you moms will be appreciated.
People have been asking if my nursery is finished-I'm embarrassed to admit that there is absolutely nothing in there except clothes. That's really not like me. Maybe he's changing me already. Joel said we can keep him in a basket of clothes by the bed and he'd be alright. If I don't get on the ball that may be where he sleeps.
Love to all please pray for all those families that are traveling and those that are serving our country.

New happenings!!
It was great to see everyone at Thanksgiving. I am already missing everybody. I wish we could get together more often. I need to get with everyone and find out what the plans are for Christmas. I am already looking forward to it. I was unable to see my parents and brothers' family. Maybe I can see them at Christmas time. I also wanted to say thank-you to the Hoover/Thomas/Branch family for being so sweet to my sister and her family. I think Neal met his first girlfriend!
When we left for Thanksgiving we went by Dorothy's Ranch. It was the first time I had gotten to see it. I can see why Joel loves it so much. Such a peaceful place. If he ever comes up missing that's the first place I will look. If he had a choice he would go there and never go back in to town! I did not realize that there was so much to running a place like that. I listened to Joel, Bobby and the Walkers discuss everything and was in awe. I enjoyed watching the Walker twins play and giggle together. It reminded me of me and my sister.
As far as the Baby goes he's getting bigger everyday and his kicks are getting much stronger. Joel says he's already in trouble for tearing up things-referring to my belly. Joel is becoming a little more fascinated with the belly. At first he just laughed when he saw it. He will actually touch it now. When I see my sister, it gives me hope that I may actually return to normal. She looks great, it's truly amazing what the body can do. So far I am still enjoying the pregnancy and overall it has been very easy.
In case you haven't heard I am having surgery on Tuesday. I am very uneasy about it but I have no choice-my mouth is bothering me so much that I cannot sleep. I should have had my wisdom teeth out a long time ago. Apparently the procedure is safe for pregnant women and my OBGYN has been in touch with my Oral Surgeon.
In other news I finally decided on a new vehicle. After all the looking we went with our first choice. I have never driven and SUV, it's big but I am getting used to it. Big enough to fit more kids! Hahaha
I hope eveyone is feeling better. Jan was so sick during Thanksgiving and now Nicole is very sick too.
Were so excited about Erica and Beau's little girl Sadie. She will be here just after ours and I am sure they will be fast friends.
On another note Joel and Henri got a call from another Sheriff that wants them to come to work for him. I thought he was through with the drug stuff. Apparently he has made big impressions on people from his past in that line of work. I do not want to move again, but I know that he is very bored and under employed where he is currently working. His current employers do not encourage drug interdiction and that's really the only thing that Joel enjoy's doing. I don't think that his employers or even his coworkers realize how good he is at that stuff.
Anyway he was always made the right decisions for us so I expect the same this time.
Keep us in your prayers.
