So I know that some might consider a blog a little less personal than an email, but really, posting here saves me time. Plus, I think it's about the same as if I just sent a mass email with updates to everyone. Besides, now that school is starting, I'll have less time to email.
So... here's an update on my baby experience thus far:
-Morning sickness: Perhaps a better description would be all day sickness. I've been fortunate, though; I've just had to deal with the nausea (not fun but better than what usually accompanies it). Thankfully, that should be nearing the end (at least, that's what I've heard).
-As of today, I'm 13 weeks. Yes, I'm officially in the second trimester. Yeah!
-Baby C is set to arrive March 5 (And talk about timing: I have friends due March 4, 5, and 6!), though De is positive that the baby will arrive early (her exact words were: "Another February baby!"), probably because hers all did.
-Come October we should be able to find out what we're having. Scott's convinced that we're going to have a girl, but I think he's just trying to prepare himself for that scenario. (He really wants a boy.) I'd eventually like one of each, but I would like a boy first. That being said, you can see why we need to find out what we're having. :)
-Names: Well, we have several boy names to choose from as of now: Angus, Dwight (yes, after Dwight Schrute from "The Office"), Leroy (from the Worlds of Warcraft video on YouTube), Goliath Megatron (our #1 choice). Girl names are much fewer: Abysmal "Abbie" Medusa.
And no, we are NOT serious about those names, though it has been fun referring to the baby as either Megatron or Abbie. We do have some serious names selected, but based on our history with names, we've decided not to share the ones we like. (In the past, any time we've mentioned names we liked, our friends happened to choose them for their little ones. We have a boy name -- a serious one-- selected, but we don't want to share it in case someone else snatches it. And with so many friends and family pregnant and due either just before or around the same time as us, well, it's best we keep the names to ourselves.)
-This coming Friday we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. I'm so excited! Though waiting all week will be tough, at least it'll give me something to look forward to... and hopefully make my first week back at school pass that much quicker.
-Which reminds me. Some have asked what we're going to do once the baby arrives. I definitely plan on staying home with the bambino. I know it'll be a challenge financially, especially in this area, but Scott and I truly believe that's what God wants us to do. Plus, we know it's possible considering how many of our friends also make it work. And can I tell you that I cannot WAIT to do that?

We considered the name "Petry" for our baby's name, given her origins. LOL! Seriously, though, you are doing well by keeping the name a secret. We are supposed to, but Donnie keeps telling people! he's so excited
Try to take a camera that videotapes to your sonograms if you can. They probably won't allow it, but they also might. It was the neatest thing.
I'm soooo excited for you! and of course for the possibilities of future playdates and scrapping with babies sessions. : ) I just made that last one up, but it actually sounds pretty cool, doesn't it? We could do it!
sorry about the morning sickness. God spared me on that, but after all the shots, maybe he thought I'd had enough misery already. : ) love you girl!
