Whats up with the name??

Once i heard 'Upside Down Pickle in a Jar' as a metaphor for a baby in a womb, and thought it was pretty fitting for our blog. This is for all the family and friends that Ben and I unfortunately dont get to speak to often. You can feel like you are here in all the action!

"Baby Phil"

Our lights are flickering and it's fixing to storm outside, so I figured pj's and chilling in bed would be relaxing.
This morning when I woke up, My stomach felt strange, so I lifted up the blankets and my tummy was lopsided! There was a lump on the right side, so I shook Ben awake, and when he put his hand on the lump, it moved and disappeared :) Its just awesome to actually see him in there. It's way different than the twitches we can see when he kicks or has hiccups.

I usually don't keep up with TV reality shows, but I heard the other day that the Duggar's are expecting their 20TH CHILD. I mean, I get that it's a religious thing, ya know," if God blesses us with another then it's meant to be". And in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with having a ton of kids if you can support them, and they are all given proper attention and love. But 20?!?! Michelle Duggar had a lot of complications with number 19,  I personally would be scared to have another one. But hey, they seem happy and mentally ok, so I guess there's nothing wrong with it. Not my cup o' tea. I know for a fact I don't want any more than three kids. Ben keeps saying he wants this many or maybe this  many. I'm like, lets see how the first one turns out, k? Also, Ben doesn't have to carry them and deliver them.  There are so many kids that need to be adopted, and we discussed If we ever had the extra funds we would adopt.  The duggars could have looked into that....... I'm sure TLC would be just as happy with a family that adopted 20 kids. What I want to know is: Why hasn't the lower half of Mrs. Duggar's body died yet?

Well, in one week it will be my second favorite holiday! Thanksgiving food just isn't the same on any other day. And this year I am super excited because I'm gonna pig out and no one can say ANYTHING. I'm eating for two! I've got my beband, and my plans, so Finn just doesn't even know!

We are eating Lunch with my family at my Grandmother's house. My brother is going to be home :) And then we were going to take family pictures, but it's supposed to rain, so I guess we'll schedule that on another day. So then I plan on falling into a food coma, and then who knows what we'll do the rest of the day.

So as most of you know, I work at a daycare. I work with 5 year olds who could care less about the fact that I have a baby in my belly, but I also spend alot of time with 3 and 4 year olds.  There's one child in particular that asks me just about every other day, "Hey, Hey, you still got dat baby in der?" Today Amy was talking to Finn trying to wake him up so she could feel him moving. So she called Jenna (3) over to help. "Wake up baby Phil!"-Jenna
I cracked up, but she was really trying to get him awake :)
