19.5 weeks

Before you get too excited, I don't have a belly shot to post. Well, I do have a belly shot, but I refuse to post it because it's an absolutely disgusting picture of me. I meant to have David take one after church, when I was wearing nice clothes and looked decent, but I totally forgot. We went to the park that afternoon and I had him just go ahead and take one there before I forgot again, but I was sweaty and gross... which means the picture will not be posted. :) Sorry! I really hope to get one up soon, because this baby is definitely starting to make itself known!

I started feeling the baby move about 2 weeks ago, and have felt it every day, several times a day since. No matter how many times you go through this, it's still totally amazing. When I see my big kids running around, I can't help but think that these little arms and legs tapping inside me will be doing that very same thing before we know it. I have been feeling fairly well the last couple of days. At this point, I could feel totally fine one morning, and totally sick the next. I think this sickness is starting to wear off a little at this point, thankfully!

We have our "big" ultrasound this Wednesday, and I am SO excited! It's such a fun thing to look forward to and get to experience. I have had a few moments of doubt here and there about the fact that we aren't going to find out what we are having (which I'm guessing is normal?) but I am confident that we do NOT want to find out and I couldn't be more excited about that! I just need to figure out exactly what I am going to say to the tech to ensure that we don't find out by accident, again.

As far as names go, we definitely have a girl name (still working on the middle name) and have a boy name we like a lot, but by no means have decided for sure it's the one. If people ask me I will tell them the names, but I might not make an official blog announcement of the name until he/she is born. We'll see... I may very well change my mind. :)

I can't believe we're halfway there!
