Names and Faces

Hey Everybody! Here's a picture of my beautiful wife!



And here's a picture of my beautiful baby boy! Two, actually.



Isn't he great? That's my boy! And I bet you have all been wondering what we are going to name him. You ready? Here it is: Nathaniel Hays Valentine! He's currently healthy and extremely active. Kylie just grumbled, "Nathaniel, go to sleep. I love you, I appreciate that you're and are letting me know that you're alive, but. . . *sigh* . . . you are making Mommy a little sick and unable to sleep." It's bedtime. He moves all the time, and isn't as shy when I put my hand on him. He gets the hiccups a lot, according to Kylie, which is, I imagine, an odd feeling for her. I just love how pregnant she is now! And how big he is! He was 3 lbs 12 oz last Wednesday when we went to get this ultrasound, with all sorts of good signs. In fact, he was big enough that they said that he is on track to be full sized nine days earlier! Yeah! But his due date is still the same. I guess? I don't know, I'm not a doctor.
   I am, however, a CPhT! That's a certified pharmacy technician. I passed the exam the other week, so now I'm just waiting to be transferred into the pharmacy. I'm super excited to try that out. I think I'll enjoy the new responsibilities and change of pace. It's gonna be different, that's for sure.
   Well, I think that'll be it for tonight. It's bedtime for Daddy, too. We have our birthing class tomorrow (I love going to it!) so I wanna make sure I'm full of energy for it! I am praying that you all have a wonderful week and a spectacular Thanksgiving. Remember to show that gratitude every day, to yourself, those around you, and to the Lord! It just makes everything so much better when you have an attitude of gratitude. Enjoy!

  1. So I just gotta say that Kylie's bedtime talk is just adorable. Plus I'm glad to hear about the technician certification. Glad to hear everything's going fine with the lil guy he is already looking handsome.
