been awhile

So it has been awhile since I posted. Sorry, I have been just trying to keep my head above water.

I had my doctor's appointment last week and everything is looking good. I have gained 19lbs so far. My blood pressure is low at 102 over 60. All my tests have come back great. By the doctor's standards I am having an uneventful pregnancy which they like.

I on the other hand physically feel like crap. Still really tired. Baby moves a lot. Had another episode last week where my belly gets really sore to the point I can't walk. My belly button bruises easily. I am so ready for this baby to be born.

Some of you have asked about names for the baby. We have a few picked out but I am not sure I want to mention it here. I haven't given out my boys names on this blog but I know if you really looked hard you would be able to find them. I do have a story about girls names. We came up with a name and thought it was perfect. Then one night I woke up around 2am and it dawned on me that the monogram would spell A.S.S. I could not believe we did not see it before. I started laughing and told Hubby about it. He couldn't believe he missed it also. So we have gone with a different name. I have a boy's name just in case. I am still thinking about whether to post the name or not when I announce on the blog the birth. We will see.

Two things to look forward to is one I will have Hubby take a picture of my belly and I will post it with a story about my encounter with the laundermat lady. And two in honor of Prom season I am going to pull out a couple of prom photos and post them.

I hope to do this in the next few days.

I can't believe you've only gained 19 pounds! That's awesome!

Yeah, ditto the admiration on the 19 pounds. I get SO FAT when I'm pregnant.

I don't blame you for not wanting to tell people about baby names just yet. I mean, aside from putting it out there on your blog for every weirdo to find, people often don't react well when you tell them your baby name ideas. I vividly remember a friend and co-worker's reaction when I told her our top pick for our unborn daughter's name. She said--and I quote--"EWWWWW! Don't name her THAT! I used to know a dog named that and it was the most horrible dog ever! Do you want to name your sweet little girl after a horrible dog?! Ohmigod!" As if we were really naming our daughter after the horrible dog she knew and not my husband's great-grandmother! People just can't help themselves sometimes!
