36 weeks


I am officially 36 weeks today! I am really excited the baby should be making his debut here pretty soon. My belly actually measures 34.5 weeks, but the doctor says that it is good. This baby will probably be small, but that is okay. I am hoping for a May baby, even though my due date isn't until June 4th. Then we will have birthdays Jan, March, April, May, June, July and Aug. All we would need is a Feb. baby, but don't know if that is going to happen at this point. I Hope this baby comes soon, I am ready to be done being preggers and excited to hold the new little one. All the kids are excited too.
We believe we have the name for the new addition, but it can always change. As it did with little David. We didn't figure out his name until he was born. So the name for now is Samuel Melchizedek-Neri Taylor. The meaning of the name is God hears(Samuel) King of Righteousness(Melchizedek) My burning light(Neri). I was surprised to see that Neri is actually a Hebrew name. In case you care to know. We have really tried to give our children names that mean something and names that have stories with them of people who inspire and uplift. Rachel and Rebecca love to hear the stories of their name. Olivia doesn't really have a story with it but Christ used the Olive tree a lot in his teaching. David obviously, with Goliath. As he gets older he will hear all of king david, and learn a lot about repentance and how to make good choices, hopefully. Enoch as you know built Zion and was a very righteous man, as was his son, Melchizedek. Samuel, heard the call from God and served him his whole life. Sorry this is a little wordy, but I just wanted to explain a little bit behind the names, we give our children, I don't know if I've ever explained to my family why, but these are the reasons. Well we are hoping to take our little new addition to Pueblo to bless him. Hopefully we'll get to see the whole family soon.

Amy's Visit

Well Amy came to visit this past weekend and it was so nice to have her here and her help. Being almost 36 weeks with 4 kids is not always easy and she really helped out a lot. The kids just loved spending time with her. Rachel was extremely sad that she could not stay longer. Rachel is usually upset about people not being able to stay longer. Hopefully Amy will be able to come again soon and maybe this time bring the rest of the family with her. We would love to have everybody here! Anyway, these are some pictures of her stay.

Also Amy, made a cake that was so yummy it didn't even last 2 days. Thanks Amy! I have to say though that we have also had Sarah here, and that was a lot of fun too. Hopefully Sarah can make it up to visit again too.
