Yeah!

As of Sunday we now have a baby changing thing ordered!!! And to be honest, I can't even remember what it looks like right now because I've looked at so many! But we are def excited now that we can proceed with the room!
Yesterday Shannah had a doctors appointment and while there was told the baby is in the correct position (head down), and he's looking strong, big... 5 almost 6 lbs at this point. I have heard the last month or so the baby is suppose to gain half a pound a week.... anyone know if this is true? Or what it is? Let me know!
Pilot training is going well for Phil - as of today he is about 3 flights away from soloing! This means he will fly the T-6 by himself without an instructor. This is a big deal... Shannah should go watch when he solos' in order to take some pictures... This should be early next week at the latest!

35 weeks

So today Shannah is 35 weeks pregnant. That means that no matter what - we will have a baby in 6 weeks (TOPS!!!). The doctor said he'd only let her go over by 1 week... We have yet to decide on a name. Phil wants Quinton Bradly, and Shannah wants Quinton Philip... Funny thing is if the baby is not Philip William the 4th - phil doesn't want any of his names used. (all or nothing) But is still willing to use Shannahs middle name of Quinn (w/ some variance)... But ironically shannah only wanted to use quinn to show phil how silly it is to insist upon naming a child after ourself in the first place - somehow shannah feels this is a trap and told phil last night if we don't use one of your names, we shouldn't use mine! So we are back at square one - No name!!! No dresser/changer.... Shannah can no longer stand being inside the house with so many things unfinished in the babies room - so if anyone would like, she's outside today working on the yard... taking occasional breaks so as not to over work herself and put her in labor early... because that would be bad... since we have no name, no dresser, the room is a mess, and the stroller isn't together still... etc! but the crib is... but nothing is pre-washed (apparently something you're suppose to do to baby clothes... go figure)

blessings come in all different ways

We just decorated for halloween this past weekend! It was so fun - Phil and I were at spirit halloween looking around and - as normal phil was not too excited to shop. He was having a hard time wanting to spend money so he didn't even look at stuff - probably his way of trying to trick me into thinking he didn't like anything - but I knew he just didn't like the prices. All I kept thinking was "man I wish he would act as though he cares!"
Then, we met a man named Eric. He just moved here to our little town - and seeing as that's the case, really has no friends. But since we happened to show up on the employees "friends and family" discount day - he offered us his coupon for 30% off our total purchase. About 2 minutes prior to meeting Eric, I could see the look in Phils eyes - he was ready to leave. I'm glad I tried to stall longer, because we got blessed w/ Eric and his coupon! All the sudden phil was mUCH more inclined to shop. He even picked a couple things out without my help! It's AMAZING what a little thing like that can do... Don't you think
