22 weeks

I have been meaning to update this blog for so long. My pregnancy is going well even though I have been having these unrealistic nightmares about having complications for some reason. With that said, I am thankful for each day, which is never a bad thing! Today I am 22 weeks pregnant and truly feeling pretty good. Of course, I am writing this post at 3:19 a.m. because I can't sleep right now, but I haven't had a ton of these nights, so I am just rolling with it. I got some homework done and at least I am being productive even if it's not by getting my much-needed sleep.

On to the exciting stuff! I had an ultrasound on Oct. 7. And we found out that my instincts were dead on again - we're having a BOY! I am so excited, but I honestly can't imagine that my excitement would have been any different had I found out it was a girl. I think I'm just happy that I get to know a little more about this sweet little baby who is squirming around in my stomach.

At the ultrasound, the baby kept moving his arm up and down, so we would see it move in and out of the picture. It was so amazing! Everything checked out fine with my appointment as well. The midwife actually told me to take half a Tylenol PM if I can't sleep ... the problem is that I never remember to actually pick up the pills when I am at the store ... I only remember in the wee hours of night. Oh well! I will actually write in on my next shopping list ... if I remember!

Everyone has two questions for us: What are we naming this baby and will we be done after this one. The first I expected, the second question is totally throwing me off. I have no idea! I haven't even delivered this baby and people actually expect me to have my mind made up about whether or not we will have another. That's just crazy! Ha!

As for the name, Denny likes Colt ... I'm not sold on the name, but he did let me name Emma. A part of me just wants to say, you can name this baby - your turn. The thought of making this difficult decision is making me nervous ... so mostly, I try not to think of it!

Okay, that's all I think of right now. I will try to be better about documetning this pregnancy and my life! This is my 20 week belly picture.
