Kolby Ray Petty
We have had a ton of questions about it - so let me give you the load down.
Kolby - is just a name we picked. We had a running list from about March of names we liked. I used a book, websites and even the flyers from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that had rodeo participant events to pick all these names. At least once a week we would go through the names and mark off ones we didn't like, star those that still stuck and eventually we got it down to Kolby. We struggled with a "C" or a "K" but I really wanted it to be unique. And if you know the big joke around us lately with "C.R.A.P." Then you understand that we could not by any means have a "C", so here we are with a "K" and Kolby is it.
Ray- I didn't know at the time that I fell in love with this name, that there was WAY more to the story about how the middle name came about but I do now (and will have to write it all down for the baby book). BJ's grandmother - Mammaw, Mrs. Hazel Ray Moore went home in August of last year. When doing her program for the funeral I fell in love with her middle name. BJ and I were still debating if we were even going to have children (as I have always said God had different plans for us, because we were really leaning the other way!) I told him that I wanted to use it. So it has been the plan from day one - something Ray Petty. I always told you all I had 2/3 of the name done! Nanna Mae was telling me Saturday about Mammaw's middle name, and I caught most of it, but I will have to get to her house and write it all down for the book and will blog about it for all of you.
Petty - well duh! This is a no brainer.
Update on me:
Went to the doctor this morning (starting my weekly visits) and everything is going well. I am waking up with headaches in the morning, but for the most part I am doing well (blood pressure is normal, measuring good, etc). I am getting up to pee every 2.5 to 3 hours but as I have been told this is God's way of getting me on that schedule! Baby is measuring on target for a July 4th due date. Dr. G is not going to let me go to far past my due date (thank goodness!). This last week was the first week I have been "done" with being pregnant. I have been really blessed in that I haven't had many of the crazy pregnancy issues that many women experience, but not knowing I was pregnant the first 2 months and then the last 6 months have been a breeze to this week, I am done. My husband can issue the eviction notice to Kolby and get him moving on out. He is still pretty high, but head down (always has been). He is kicking up a storm and rolling around in there (now that there isn't much room!). Other than that, I am good staying healthy, keeping my weight in check and getting ready.
We are in the process of getting the room finalized. Got a bunch to do there, but shouldn't take to long. Ready to get all the baby stuff contained to one area for now. Right now it is in about four rooms and my nesting syndrome does not help when mixed with OCD. Remembering I have to wait and take my time is hard. But BJ is keeping me in check and helping a ton. Thank you to all the family and friends calling and checking on all of us. We are blessed beyond belief to have such wonderful friends and family. Love you all!!!
Till next week!
