His name will be:
Owen McLeod Jackson
My sister-in-law,Jessica, told me that people were going to call him OJ. I figured if Price could overcome Eugene then Owen can certainly overcome OJ!! :)

Mom's Group Playdate
It was my turn to host lunch at my house for the playdate and I made chicken salad on crossants, potato soup and a starlight cake with buttercream frosting........ALL FROM SCRATCH!!
I was proud of myself since I usually would have gone to DiPratto's and acted like I made it! :)
We had a great time and Price is sound asleep from all the playing. Here are a few pics to share.

Happy 18 Month Bday Price!!
Sweet Price -
The past 18 months have been such a blessing. You are the light of my life. You are no longer a baby but instead a very busy toddler. You keep me and your daddy on our toes. You can do and say so many things now that it's hard to list them all. The biggest accomplishment is that you can sing your ABC's. You don't say every letter but you certainly have the jist of it. Every morning you wake me up by singing the Alphabet song or EIEIO in your crib. When I get you up and change your diaper you immediatly grab your diaper and say "Trash" and off to the trash can you go. Then you have to go over to the lamps and you say "Light" (or something close) and I have to turn on the lamps. Then you go to the windows and say "open" so I open all the blinds. Then you say "toons" and we cut on Micky Mouse Club. That is by far your favorite show. You love Micky Mouse and the Wiggles. You also like Elmo ("Melmo") on Sesame Street.
You love meal times. You always remember to say your blessing. As soon as we put food on the table you make your prayer hands and bow your head. When we are finished saying the blessing you say "Maymen". You are such a good eater. Bananas ("Nanas") are your favorite food. You also love grapes, peanut butter sandwiches, Spagetti, Green Beans, and Cheese dip (from San Joses). You can eat very well with a fork but not so good with a spoon. You always try to flip the spoon over before it makes it to your mouth. I think you are going to be left handed, which is great because Dr. Oz (on Oprah) said that lefties are usually smarter! :) Plus, Your daddy want's you to bat left handed so you already have an advantage.
You love to play with other children and you are doing so much better at sharing. It's so wonderful to watch you interact with other children. You are definitly an aggresive child but you have so much personality. You make silly faces and smile all of the time. You wave to everyone who passes us by, in a grocery store or restaurant, and say "Hewwo"!
My favorite part of the day with you is before bedtime. You love taking baths and usually get the entire bathroom soaking wet with all your splashing. You also love to stick your head underwater. You think it's so funny when you come up. Once we get done with bath, I fix you a sippy cup with milk and you bring me a book (or several books) and we read. Your favorites are "The Nose Book", "I knew you Could", "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", and "Hit the Ball Duck!". I have read most of them to you so many times I know them by heart. Once we are done reading you say "Toof", referring to your toothbrush, and we brush your teeth and then You brush your teeth. (You are very independant and like to do things yourself.) Then you give Daddy a "Night Night" Kiss and we go say our prayers. You again say "Maymen" and the very best part of my day is when you give me a BIG OL' KISS and say "Lub You"! I know you probably don't know what love means but I am sure you love me regardless! You are such a loving child and whenever you get put in time out or popped you ALWAYS have to hug my neck and sit in my lap afterwards. It's like you want to make sure I'm not upset anymore. It's so sweet.
You are such a special blessing in my life and I thank the Lord for you every single day. I love you more then any words could ever describe and I love being able to spend every day with you. Watching you grow up is my greatest joy.
With all my Love,
Mama

Donuts for Dads
Mary Grace and her family came to visit us on Saturday! Price loves "Gace" (as he calls her)!
Friday I did go to the doctor and I got a great report. The baby is doing great and all the blood clots are gone so things look perfect. I am still measuring almost 2 weeks behind so I was only 15 weeks EXACTLY (according to them) when I went. I asked the doctor to give me a educated guess on the sex of the baby. He said if he HAD to tell me an answer then he would say BOY!
I have to be honest and tell you that wasn't exactly what I was hoping to hear. My heart truly longs for a girl to dress in pink and bows and paint her toes and wear frills......the list goes on....
BUT, I am a Christian and I have prayed every day for so long and I know that the Lords plan is Divine and he knows what is best for our family.
My Bible study group is reading "Calm my Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow. On Wednesday I was reading the book and it was talking about the difference in Faith and Sight. It was saying that Faith is something you have when you can't see. Some people confuse sight with faith. She had this quote in her book: "Sight says, "I see that this is good so God must have sent it to me." BUT FAITH SAYS, "God sent this to me so it MUST be good for me!""
God sent me this baby so no matter what, I know it's good for me!! And I already love this little one more then I could imagine, regardless of it's sex.
My friend Stephanie is scanning me tomorrow so hopefully I'll know 100% then. Either way I am excited that all is well.
I know Price would love having a little brother, because Let's Face It: I am not going to be playing in the mud nor will I EVER touch a bug voluntarily!! He will have someone to do all those "Boy" things with! And, I am sure it will be nice being QUEEN OF THE HOUSE with all my boys!
There's always next time.....RIGHT?!? Besides, Josh and I make precious boys!! :)
I'll post the final results tomorrow!!
