Jay and Anna

We have had a hard time deciding what to call our son. We had not come up with any boys names prior to giving birth. Justin wanted to come up with a girl name and then a boy. Needless to say, we never came up with a girl name much less a boy name. When the birth certificate people called to see what his name was, I had no idea. So, as Justin says, he became a Jr. by default! At first we were going to call him J.J. but we have decided that he will be known as Jay. Anna said that she is still going to call him J.J., which is fine with us.

Just thought I would share a little about Jay's birth.....I woke up Thursday feeling like it was any other day. So, when my water broke I was completely in shock! This was not supposed to happen so soon! My section was not planned for two more weeks. I was only 37 weeks pregnant!

I was on my way to the hospital when my mother-in-law called to tell me that she told Justin the night before I was going to have the baby. I asked why and she said that it was Jason's birthday. I had completely forgotten that it was Jason's birthday! For those of you who do not know Jason, he is Justin's brother who passed away almost 5 years ago. So, even though he decided to come early, Jay could not have been born on a better day!

On a side note, my baby girl is no longer a baby! She lost her first tooth the other day. She didn't even cry! She is also whiping her own hiney now too! I guess it's about time, she is almost 6! I guess I have just been one of those mama's who would rather do it myself than have her rear not competely clean!

Justin Norman Moss Jr. (J.J.)

J.J. decided that he could not wait until November 1st to come into this big world. Instead, he came yesterday, October 18! I was sitting in class, luckily with no students, when my water broke. By the time I got to the hospital my contractions were strong and close together. It wasn't long after that J.J. made his debut. He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and is 20 inches long!

22 and counting

I have finally hit 36 weeks. We have set up our c-section for November 1st at 12:30. So, in 22 days this baby will be here!! The only problem is that we still do not have any names picked out (either boy or girl)! Nor do we have the nursery set up. We started several weeks ago cleaning out the bedroom but the bed still remains along with several boxes of odds and ends. I keep telling myself that I am going to get up and clean out the room but I end up resting instead. Hopefully before this baby comes everything will be in order! I am going this weekend to buy everything we need....car seat, matress for the babybed, bottles, baby wipes, diapers...you name it, we need it. You would think we would be prepared, but no, I am still the procrastinator that I always have been. Everything gets put off until the last minute here in the Moss household. Lets just hope that this baby doesn't decide to come early!
