Vote!

After my last post on the size of this baby, I have added a new poll on the right hand side of this blog...
I'm curious what everyone thinks. How big will this next baby be?
Vote and let me know.

Be kind.

Just a little background info on the sizes of my last three at birth so you can make an "educated" guess with your vote:

Olivia - 11lb 5 oz

Morgan - 9lb 8 oz

Christian - 10 lb 14 oz

10 VERY much appreciated comments:

Jessica said...: 1) You are WAY out of my league on big babies. (My bigger ones were 9, 9 1/2, and 8 1/2 which now seems really wussy.)

2) I met Audra through blogging, but we figured out that her grandpa was my husband's grandpa's brother. So my father-in-law is her dad's cousin.

3) Laurie was my roommate at BYU.

Small world...blogging is so fun that way.; March 7, 2008 at 5:54 AM
Tim and Lisa said...: You are an amazing woman to have such big babies!; March 7, 2008 at 8:57 AM
Margaret said...: I agree with Lisa is takes a strong momma to have big babies! You go girl.

Funny side note. I don't know know Jessica above. But we figured out we went to dances together in high school since she lived in Tracy. The boys I hung out with always talked about the Tracy girls in hushed reverent tones. So I was very aware of her presence at Tri-Stake dances. And she is friend's with Ilene (who used to be in my ward) up in Spokane. Anyway, it really is a small world.; March 7, 2008 at 9:35 AM
Amanda said...: Wow, Rachel. I am going to vote for the smallest so that I can will your baby to be small. Although, they do seem less breakable . . .; March 7, 2008 at 1:00 PM

I just noticed Jessica's comment about how we know each other and I am confused. I just thought Ryan and Mike were cousins! :); March 9, 2008 at 9:02 AM
Jessica said...: Okay, clarification:

I have an AudREY who comments on my blog and that's who I thought you were referring to.

AudRA is married to Mike who is my husband's cousin.

Sorry for the confusion!; March 9, 2008 at 10:46 AM

{June 2013} Watching her favorite movie Lemonade Mouth, Delaney declares she wants to change her name to Stella. I asked her if I should start now calling her "Stella"? "No", she decided... "I'll change my name when I'm older."

{October 2012} Christian age 6 "My teacher says we can't pick our boogers. That sucks!"

{September 2012} Delaney age 4 "Thank you for making a real dinner, Mommy."

{September 2012} Morgan age 13 "I want to marry a Canadian with an Irish accent."

{May 2012} As Christian went to fetch popsicles for our sore throats, Delaney exclaimed, "Bubba's a good man!"

{December 2011} Delaney: My sexy and my know it!

{August 2011}

Christian said to Delaney, "I love you so much. Don't grow up!"

Delaney responds with panic in her voice, "I not BLOW up!!"

{April 2011}

Delaney pronounces her v's as b's, so TV is TB, movie is moobie...

{April 2011}

Morgan - "My sandwich broke in half so I had to tape it back together with peanut butter."

{April 2011}

Morgan - There's smart and then there's MORGAN smart!"

{May 2010}

Delaney pronounces "Morgan" as "Middy"... cute! Olivia was making fun of it relating "Middy" to "MEDIEVAL" emphasis on the EVIL. Morgan struck back by saying, "At least I'm MID-evil and not FULL-evil!"

{April 2010}

Christian's prayer today had these two sweet phrases in it: "Bless Delaney to laugh and to hug me" and "Bless Jesus Christ to love us."

{March 2010}

Morgan: Mom, what's the hardest job in the world?

Mom: Being a mom.

Morgan: Oh. I thought it was being the President of the United States' wife.

{March 2010}

Christian refers to Delaney as "Cutie Queen"

{January 2010}

I was saying Morgan smelled like gardenias... but she corrected me saying that was Olivia's flower - hers was Pomeranian!!! LOL (she meant plumeria!)

{December 2009}

Christian: "Mom, can I get some help in here??"

Me: "What do you need?"

Christian: "YOU!"

Christian {December 2009}

Yelling out the open window to cars driving down the road: "Cars. Why are driving? Are you going home? Hey car! See you later."

Carly {November 2009}

After being taught the phrase, "That's what she said!", Carly mistakenly said, "She said that!" instead.

LOL

Not the same effect, unfortunately.

Christian {October 2009}
Buckling into our seats on the Star Tours ride in Disneyland, Christian ever so casually asked me, "Am I going to die?"

Grandma Sally {September 2009}
Mom and I were sitting at dinner one night chatting about shoes. She was trying to remember the name of a specific brand... it went a little something like this:
Grandma Sally: What are those shoes called? They're plastic. Gators?
Rachel: Crocs??
Gators... Crocs... same same, right?

Christian {August 2009}
I asked Christian if he'd bring me the phonebook because I needed to call Target. He looked at me and asked, "Call Target?" I said yep. He asked, "Target can... TALK??"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I made brown rice with dinner one night and added a bit too much water, making the rice very sticky. Martin commented that it's okay that way... the more water in it helps it to digest faster in our systems. Morgan commented, "Oh. That's why pee comes before poo!"

Olivia {Jan. 2009}
Morgan made a comment about Indians (Native Americans) and Olivia corrected her by saying, "Morgan, Indians are from India. Native Americans are the ones with the feathers right here". (right here was demonstrated with two fingers over her head.) Good thing she corrected her politically incorrect sister!

Christian {Jan. 2009}
"Dis is bewy good! Dis is bewy bewy yummy in my tummy!"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
Referring to a person of Hispanic origin: "Spanishkin"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I asked Morgan to get the Quaker oats from the pantry. Not knowing what exactly I was talking about, she asked, "Is it the can with the English man on it?" We laughed at that comment... so to correct herself, she asked, "Or is it Lewis or Clark??"

Morgan {Dec. 2008}
"Mom, what's the difference between hypocrite and Republican?"

Wanted to go home from church early because she was SORE from playing the Wii!!! Martin calls her whining "WiiWaaaaaa".
