My sisters Jill and Cara have decided on a name that they will call the baby until it is born This name they decided to call the baby stems from a couple of years back, in a story that I once told them. Scott and I were at a wedding of one of my St Mary's friends in which I ran into people I hadn't seen for a while. I was talking to a friend and he was telling me that he had two little boys, one named Fletcher and I can't remember the other one. I said, "Fletcher, that is so cute! Scott, isn't Fletcher the cutest name?" Scott replied, "Are you kidding me?" At this point I couldn't figure out why Scott was being so rude in front of my friend about his son's name. Scott then said, "Fletcher Ketcher?" Then it dawned on me that I was no longer Ami Schumacher and realized how bad that name sounded. We had a good laugh about this and I am guessing my sisters never forgot the story because they now call my poor unborn baby Fletcher Ketcher. Cara was even trying to teach my niece Ella how to say Fletcher. So for the next 35 weeks I guess I am carrying Fletcher Ketcher!


There is another story from this week that made me laugh so hard. I wasn't going to document this in the blog, but this is for Scott and I to remember everything so I had to include it. Thursday afternoon I was missing Scott really bad. He had to work both Wednesday and Thursday night so I knew I wasn't going to see him until Friday. I text messaged him, "I guess my hormones must be in full effect because I want to be near you and I miss you so much!" Scott then replied back by saying, "My book said you would go through a time of extreme closeness to me." Seriously, how funny and cute is it that Scott is reciting The Expectant Father a book that he got as a present and is obviously reading! He is going to be the best daddy!


My good friend Frances sent Scott and I a big package today that I found out she had been collecting for two years and was so excited to finally send it. Scott and I were just as excited to receive it! She sent books, CD's and a baby t-shirt but the present that stood out the most is a kids book called Punk Farm about a bunch of farm animals that started a rock band. It is the cutest book and you can download the song they sing at http://www.punkfarm.com/. Thanks Jordan Family!
