Happy Fall and Tactfulness.....

I am so happy that it is finally Fall!! I am a much happier person since the weather is cooler!! Sean and I worked in the yard Saturday morning. Yes...I did help. I raked the limbs and leaves in piles. I even volunteered to help! Nothing new is going on in our house. I am enjoying have three football weekends where we are either not playing, or playing away. Since I work every home football weekend, I cherish the weekends we have off or away. I love everything about the Fall. I love all of the leaves, the smells and most of all the wonderful weather. Fall is without a doubt my favorite season!!

Baby Canaan is doing great. I go back to the doctor next Monday the 27th. That will be just a routine visit, but our count down is officially on. 19 days until we find out if it is a boy or a girl!! I am trying to figure out a way to push the day up a little.

I know I have blogged about this before, but people just come out of the no where to give you advice about your pregnancy. I mentioned to someone a work that we liked the name Sam for a boy, and this person looked me straight in the eyes and told me they hated that name!!! There is tact for you! I have also had many people encourage me not to find out what I am having, and some people have even gotten mad at me for even entertaining the thought of finding out. Some people don't want to know, and other do. To each their own. All of this advice just blows me away because I would never dream of pushing my opinons about pregnancy and babies on someone else. A complete stranger started talking to me at the Arkansas football game about how I should have a water birth. He said both of his kids were born through a water birth, and his kids are the smartest in their class. I did not even know this man, he just came up and struck up a conversation with me. My favorites have been when I tell people I am pregnant they tell me they are happy to know that because they had noticed I had put on some weight, and now there was a reason. I have had two people tell me that!! I promise, I am not making this stuff up!!

I do appreciate any and all suggestions and advice that people give me, and I love to hear what people have to say. I just feel there is a tactful way of doing it. There, I can get off my soap box now. Please keep sending me advice and suggestions, I really do love to hear them!!
