the lucy family: "baby hayes".

"baby hayes".

at first trey and i were about 90% positive that we were going to call this baby "hayes" no matter the sex of the baby. now i guess we're 100% because sk calls him/her "baby hayes" anytime she talks about the baby. it has just really become the baby's name for sure!!

sk and her smoothie:

hayes is after my grandma hazel who i was so close to. if the baby is a boy (and i'm about 99.9% positive that it is) then his name will be thomas ernest lucy IV but we'll call him hayes. trey's not budging on the given name and i don't blame him since he is the only living lucy and would like to keep the tradition going. if the baby is a girl then her name will either be "mary hayes" or "mary hazel" but we'll call her hayes either way. mary is for my mom (rosemary). mary was her grandmother's name, too (my great grandma gowen who was my grandma hazel's mama!).

(we've been playing outside ALOT...glorious weather!)

so, all that being said about the name, i wanted to remember some things that sk has said about "baby hayes" lately.

sk: "mama, you see my smiling face?"
me: "i do! i love your smiling face, watcha smiling about?"
sk: "i love baby hayes!"
me: "that's so sweet sk, you do?"
sk: "yes. i do."
me: "and baby hayes loves sarah kate so much!"
sk: "yes. baby hayes loves sarah kate. ashley and jon-jon love sarah kate, too mama." (ha! just thinking about who else loves her i guess.)
melt my heart.

sk: "baby hayes is in my foot, mama."
me: "i thought baby hayes was in mommy's tummy."
sk: "no, he right here (pointing to the bottom of her foot)."
i have no idea where she came up with that one.

sk (with her hands on her cheeks and the most worried voice): "oh no mommy, we not have any bottles to feed baby hayes!"
me: "we'll get some!"
ha! she's a worrier.

sk: "baby hayes still not walking yet!!"
me: "no he's not. he's not even here yet."
sk: no he sure not.
(yes we refer to the baby as a "he")

me: "do you want a baby sister or baby brother"?
sk: "a man." (she has answered this question in all kinds of ways but saying she wants the baby to be a man is my favorite. typical...she loves the men in her life so much!)

that's all i can think of right now. she randomly brings up "baby hayes" each day. i wish i had started writing it down earlier. "baby hayes" has been in everybody's tummy, too. baby hayes is in my tummy, daddy's tummy, her tummy. baby hayes has been in mimi's tummy. my...ahem...chest has been poked at and been accused of being "baby hayes." when i told her that what she was poking was mommy's chest she said, "well that part of it anyway." ha!! she's got a point there.

sk loves her train now!!!! she rode it alot today.

beau is very concerned about the train.

all the pics that i posted above were taken with my new iphone! that's right....i finally gave in and decided to get with the times. i was due for an upgrade on the 26th of december so trey bought an iphone for me. i'm enjoying it!

on a completely unrelated note....2 things....number 1: i have been so sick with a sinus infection since last wednesday and i'm ready for it just to go away so i can sleep at night! i'm alright during the days when i'm standing up but as soon as i lay my head down my nose gets completely filled and i can't breathe. so annoying....can't remember the last time i've had any sort of cold and of course there's not much i can take for it.
number 2: we are headed on our 4th annual lucy family trip to blowing rock this friday. we've had such a mild winter and i don't think they've gotten any snow at all yet up there. we've never not had snow on the ground on our trip! our weekend temps look to be absolutely freezing....highs in the 30's and lows in the 20's....sunny so no snow. burrrrrrrr!!! we may be spending a snuggly weekend by the fire in our cabin! we'll see.
