Many Thanks

It has been fun polling the public for baby names and baby weights. Only time will tell what happens in each case. My funny story for the day is that a customer told me it looked like I was well cooked because she could see that my belly button is kind of protruding. It isn't totally out, but it is out there enough that my shirt doesn't hide it too well. She said it looks like the plug you put in a turkey before you stick it in the oven. When it pops out, you're done. Well folks...I feel done. Tomorrow is my last day at work, and I can't wait. I am exhausted from being on my feet today. Brent's school is closed until next Monday because of the flu. They had over 50 kids gone today so that puts them in the percentile of absences that forces them to close. He will get to put in a couple extra days on the basement before Friday's big delivery. We are all excited, including Gracie. Feel free to keep commenting on names and such. It has been helpful.

Hey, I always buy the turkey with the helpful plug to let me know the meat is done and ready to take out of the oven. So are you going to be overcooked since you're going to bake until Friday? Nah, just adding more flavorful sweetness and color to our anxiously-awaiting Fuzzy, Ella, or Emma. Then the middle name. This pregnancy sure has been an adventure. Thanks for entertaining us. Love you guys!

I hopefully just figured out how to leave a comment! I felt like I was missing out on all the fun! I'm behind on all of the polls but heres my for what it's worth. Baby's wieght 8lb. I really like both names but I like Ella Katherine. Oh wait I guess there wasn't any mention of middle names were there. We are all so excited for the Birthday of Ella Doolin (just getting you use to saying that) Ashton has show choir on Sat. so we won't be able to make it down. I figured you maybe worn out by the time we could make it down on Friday so we're hoping someone (Aunt V) will take lots of pictures to show us. We will be praying for you all! Yeah Gracie your a BIG SISTER!

Yeah, Kathleen! I knew you could do it. Thanks for writing in. I have to tell you that I still love Ella, but we won't be able to use Katherine. When we named Gracie Katelyn Grace we got enough static from Brent's Grandma about how she had too many Katie's and Catherine's to keep track of. There are 2 Katherine's and 1 Katelyn and 1 Kalyn, so I know Katherine is out. It does make a beautiful name though. I totally understand why you can't come down. Don't feel badly. However, if it had been you guys in our shoes, we definitely wouldn't be missing it! :-) Sorry...couldn't resist one more poke! Love you guys!

Yes, Auntie V plans to make a road trip and plan to take Brent out to dine at Fiddlestix. Yes, Brent, you can have anything you want on the menu on the Neally house.

Kathleen, I'm also proud of you for figuring out how to comment on the blog. Yeah!!!!

Fuzzy wuzzy was a babe
Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fussy, was she?
What was her name?

Kathleen, I hate to break the news, but you need to guess again on the weight . . . Moses already has dibs on 8 lbs. Try, try again but check out the weight page so you guess a weight not already taken. Now take a break from American Idol and check it out. :-)
