Boy or Girl... that is the question.

On June 24th we found out we were having a little baby! Kinda a freaky moment I will have to admit. Hard to believe I am at the stage of life for a child. Everything seems to be in the "right" place - married, house, good job... still freaky. Preston really seems to be much more excited and not quite as nervous. I keep reminding myself that he does not have to actually give birth! Yes, I know a trillion billion people have done it and most more than once... still does not take any of the freakiness out of it. ha.

We went to our third doctor appt. today. Hearing the heartbeat again was just so amazing. Something you can hardly explain to someone that has not experienced it. Seeing Preston get teary eyed makes me cry just that much more - well and then makes us realize how emotional we are going to be when we actually have this child! Preston always says how much our kid is going to hate us, all we will do is cry. ha.

More so, I think we are going to drive each other crazy. On a daily basis we are totally obsessed with our dog Frank. No matter what he does, we have to share it with one another. "Oh babe, look at frank... he is laying so cute under that blanket". "look at how cute he is when he runs like that". "Did you just hear him grunt in his sleep, how cute" This happens, oh about thirty times a day. I can hardly imagine anything being more annoying to the outside world. Watch out, when we have kids we are totally going to be one of "those parents". Look at this picture of little Johnny going potty for the first time on the big boy toilet... ohhh ahhh.

No, our child's name is not going to be Johnny, but that is a question that Mom's and Dad's to be hear just a few times during pregnancy. One word of advice for those with out children, do NOT share your baby name ideas with anyone! It sucks, no really it does. I can not tell you how many times people have said things like, "oh that really does not roll off the tongue" or "I like the other name better". I think I am just going to surprise everyone and name my kid the most frequent word I use while in labor... Now that sounds like a good idea ;)

In a little less than a month we can start to narrow down the "real" names - because this is when we pray that this kid shows off it's little private parts! I rarely hear much during my doctor visits, my main focus - THE DATE OF THE ULTRASOUND!

February 23rd is my unofficial due date. I am secretly crossing my fingers for the 29th, it just sounds like fun. Leap year baby - not that I want to be pregnant any longer than need be - it just sounds like fun.

I felt movement! Of course the first person I called was my mother - well and then she called the rest of the world. Leave it to mom's (or just mine). I can not wait until I can see a little foot sticking out of my side, sounds so strange to me. I wonder if Frank will notice as he is sitting on my belly. ha.

Well, bye for now.
