…to keep you interested. I promise to post more as soon as I have time.

Alright, we have narrowed down the names.  Don’t forget to vote and do it soon — the poll closes Sunday morning!

No cheating…I am watching.  😉

Baby Woodruff is a boy! We are still withholding the name and may wait until the day it is born…  😉

As a child (and even as an adult), I can remember having a very hard time falling asleep on Christmas Eve because I was so excited about seeing all the surprises under the Christmas tree the next morning.

Well, September 9th was a “Christmas Eve night” for me last night.  I tossed and turned last night anxiously awaiting the news today.  I woke up at 12:30am and thought it was time to get up — nope, only another 6.5 hours to go.  Finally 7am rolled around and we got up.

Now hopefully the little one will cooperate and the doctor will be able to tell us whether it is a boy or a girl.

We definitely have the girl’s name picked out, Amanda Louise Woodruff.

The boy’s name is pretty close to being finalized, but we may wait a little while longer before releasing it.  Maybe, I’ll charge a fee to see the boy’s name (I’ve got to start making money on this website so I can pay for diapers and college.)

Check back in about 2 hours and hopefully there will be some news.

Love ya guys!

Donnie & Victoria

I did quite a bit of work around the house yesterday and must have been a little over-tired so I had one of my infamous nights sleeping. I woke Victoria and the baby (see his/her posting below) because I swore that there was a snake in the bed. Half of you are thinking — what is he talking about. The other half know about my “sleep issues”.

Spiders, snakes, ghosts, etc… have a tendency to cause sleep problems for me and Victoria (seeing I always wake her up). I’ve had them since I was a kid and they come and go — usually tied to me being overtired or eating something before heading to bed (at least that is what I tell my mother). The truth is ever since my Mom dressed up in a white sheet and jumped out of a closet at my Grandmother’s house when I was 5 or 6, I have never slept soundly. 😉

As far as the baby “complaining” about not getting any sleep. I am sure Victoria and I will have plenty of sleepless nights come January, February, March, etc…

After my 2am snake wake-up call we went back to bed. Sometime later that morning, I heard Victoria trying to get out of bed and I guess I still wasn’t sound asleep but was not fully awake. I got up and helped her out of bed. Then I helped her into the bathroom. We walked slowly to the bathroom with me holding her tight so she would not fall. You would have thought she was 9 months pregnant and incapable of walking by the way I was helping her into the bathroom.

We had a good laugh about it this evening when she reminded me of the snake and the bathroom visit.

Hoping for a good night sleep tonight…

For some reason at 2am this morning, Daddy woke up and sprung out of bed. Mommy and I did not know what to do.

Daddy told Mommy to get out of bed because there was a snake in the bed. Then Daddy ripped the covers off of the bed looking for the slithery creature. Nothing.

Mommy’s snoogle was still on the bed and Daddy turned his attention to it. He quickly grabbed it and slung it off the bed. Again, NOTHING.

By this point, Mommy realized what was going and started to calm Daddy down and told him it was OK and nothing was in the bed. Daddy said he was sorry and climbed back into bed (like nothing happened).

Dad — you think you can keep it down next time, I am trying to sleep in here. 😉

Baby Woodruff

Victoria is at 20 weeks now and is half way there. She is definitely getting bigger and is at 115 lbs this week. The doctor said they will begin measuring her belly at our next visit in October.

We picked up the snoogle at Babies R Us for Victoria a few days ago and she loves it.  Between the baby and the snoogle, I think my days of snuggling with Victoria are over.  😉

36 hours and counting…
