Yeah we are finally moving to our new apartment. Yesterday we got our tv/computers/desks and kitchen table moved over as well as our entertainment center and alot more boxes. Today is so busy that we won't have the opportunity to move, but Saterday is the big day.. the day we finaly move EVERYTHING to the new apartment. I am excited about it but at the same time a little nervous.
God is so good though and I have been watching the little girls in our church and you know.. I didnt want to have a girl because of the drama but the more I watch them and remember how funny they can be I am getting more excited. Kayla a 5 yr old in my church came up to me on Wednesday and rubbed my stomach. "Mrs Joy, is your baby doing alright.. i can't hear her!" I assured her that she was fine and then she asked me what I was going to name the baby. I told her what me and Chris have decided on, Reyna. "But mrs Joy you should name her Kayla because that is the best name that any girl can have" To which I responded that If I named her kayla then I may get confused on which kayla I wanted. She asked me" What color hair does she have?" I smiled and told her that I didn't know.. that it could be blonde like hers or brown or even red... she got excited when I said that. "Red hair! Then you HAVE to call her Dawson because Dawson has red hair. (Dawson is her younger brother). *giggles* I told her that it was a boy's name but she was insistent that if my daughter has red hair it has to be called Dawson because obviously everyone with red hair has to be have that name.
Oh it was such a funny moment and I had to tell her mom who laughed at it as well. I think that in the mind of this 5 yr old, there are only certian names you can use.Well yesterday I was talking to her mom and I heard kayla in the background telling her mom that Mrs Joy is going to name her baby girl Dawson because she has red hair. *giggles* I just laughed and listened as her mom tried to correct her without laughing at her outright.. though she did laugh later.
I think having a daughter will be good though because its so much easier to buy girl things.. just to have to find things that are modest. I dont' want the short skirts that the teens wear now days for a young girl.
Ok.. so now that we are moving into a two bedroom apartment and I can decorate the baby room I am excited. I am getting things ready in my mind with what I want to do with the room and I'm so excited. I am going to paint butterflys on the wall with lady bugs and flowers... I love painting so this is a fun project for me to do while I get things for Reyna. I am glad that we are moving because I am going to an apartment where the AC actually works.!! I have been like a walking sauna and its only getting hotter outside with the stoppage of the rain. Now don't get me wrong I know that we needed the rain to stop because of all the flooding and deaths but at the same time it was the only thing keeping the tempurture at a bearable level. Oh well I guess that is the price you pay for marrying a Texan! :D *I am truly happy I am married to him though, even if he does like the hot weather.*
Anyways.. I have pictures to post.. once I can get my home computer up and running saterday or sunday.. yeah for pictures.

Its a LIZARD!
I had my sono done on the 10th.. so yeah.. and the baby is very healthy and so I am. I was able to see the baby's gender and though my husband told me that he thought it was going to be a lizard.. he was wrong. Its a girl. I am so excited to be able to come up with girl names. Now don't get and critize me for wanting to know and telling others what i'm having. I decided that the best way to do this was to know because I had my heart set on a boy. So I was slightly disapointed when I was told I was having a girl. I am not sure I can handle all the girly girlness that girls bring and the DRAMA! oh I know about girl drama and I don't want it... so I shall try to get her used to not being dramatic.. try is key word there.
I am getting excited though to have a girl and the more I pray about it and the more I think on it, the more I am falling in love with my little girl. I am trying to come up with some names and Chris is doing the same so we can discuss names for her. I am glad that we know the sex of the baby though because we are going to be moving to a larger apartment and I wanted to decorate the baby's room in colors that were gender specific. No don't worry I shall not go Pink.. since I dislike that color very passionatly, but purple is a good color and so we shall go with that.
So far everyone who has found out what i'm having is excited because they wanted to go shopping for us and get us things and now they can get things gender specific. I am excited about it almost as much as my mother in law.
I was disapointed though because as soon as I told my mother in law she went and told prettty much everyone I knew and so I didn't get the priveldge of telling people.. just my mom and dad and my husband and my in laws... I'm disapointed in that regard because I was wanting to tell people, and she was just too excited that she just went and told everyone.. even though i asked her not to. I know for next time to tell her last *giggles* oh well. I get the honor of being the first to see my baby etc so I'm alright now.
Now yesterday my husband had his interview (which I though twas thrusday but wasn't till tuesday) and he said it went alright but didn't think they were wanting him so its back to applying for jobs and more prayer. I know that God provided us with this adorable blessing and will provide for us and our daughter, I would just like to know how and when.. but that is my human sinful nature wanting to know now.

God's Blessings
God is so wonderful to us all. I found out 4 months ago that I was pregnant and we don't have the fiances at this time to really support a child and so we started praying. God gave us this miracle baby for a reason and we know that since God gave us this child when we were taking all precautions not to have one yet, that God will also provide for this child. We have been praying about this for some time and things are getting tighter with our fiances but we are getting by. I am just so blessed that I have insurance.
Well this morning, Chris applied for a web designer/developer entry level job around 9am. After lunch he got a call to come for an interview. This is the field of work that Chris has been trying to get into for years and has allot of experience just no degree and so he is not too excited about this cause he doesn't think he will get it. However, I am excited that he has this job interview on Thursday around 2pm because it is a huge step towards his goal and it would mean a pay increase. Both of which is what we have been praying for. God is showing himself as our provider once again and I wanted to share that with those that actually read my blog and to ask also that you pray for him as he goes for his interview. This is something that he loves doing and would actually enjoying going to work if he got this job. It would also help us in our financial situation and would help provide for this blessing that God sent to us... and will be around in our lives crying and pooping and eating in December. I am so excited about this and Praising God for it even before it happens.
On other news I have finally stop having morning sickness so Yeah!! I am so glad because I feel more energetic and more alive. We are moving in 2 weeks to another apartment and so I have allot of boxing to do and allot of packing and throwing things away. I'm not to excited about that but That is alright because in the end I get to paint a baby room and get ready for our blessing.
Praising God,
