Well, many of you have requested a baby update; so here you go!!!
Well, there are the joys of pregnancy and then there are so many things that are unexpected that goes along with it. Everyone asks...how are you feeling, are you having weird dreams, what do you think the sex of the baby is, what names are you thinking of....so, I guess that's what I can update you all on.
I am feeling great compared to some stories of other moms-to-be. The worst side effect is tiredness. Just the other evening I fell asleep on the couch at 8pm...and slept until 7am...of course, in between I got up at least 3 times to use the facilites. My belly is certainly starting to grow which doesn't hold people back from asking "wow; what are you having twins? triplets?". I will have to say I don't love people like that!
As for my dreams, they have been amazing! They are so vivid and when I tell them to Sean he just gets this "why am I married to her again?" look on his face. Without going into much detail, I have had a dream about a terrorist attack; about how I made friends with 2 cats and a duck and they ganged up on me and threw hermit crabs at me (and this dream I literally screamed out loud and Sean came running because he was still downstairs watching tv), and several other dreams about friends who are pregnant and I have predicted the sex of their children (now they have had ultrasounds and know)...I have been correct with 2 of the 3. I have had a dream about our child...and it was a boy!
As for the sex of the baby; it's really a 50/50 chance however, I will have to say my first instinct was a boy...so, I am going to stick with that; even though I am starting to lean towards a girl. Sean insists this baby is a girl. Actually, he's not the only one...I will say just about everyone has their opinion and insist on the sex of the baby; about 90% say this baby is a girl. Having people guess is quite fun. My one friend came up to me and asked me to show my hands....in return my friend insists it's a girl by the way I showed my hands.
As for names for the little one...we are toying with 2-3 names per sex of the child...but, we are not going to share the names until...the baby is born. We want to have somewhat a surprise for everyone and something fun for them to look forward to. However, since we are still not 100% sold on a name; we are taking some suggestions.
(Here's what the little one looks like now. Weighs about an ounce and is the length of a flip phone)

Your baby looks like a cartoon?!? That's strange.
I want a cartoon baby!
Kidding, kidding. Lovely update. Looking forward to more, and to whatever the name is, though I guess that'll be awhile! What do you mean by three names? Like, first name and two middle names plus a last name? All I can say is that whatever you do, I implore you NOT to call your child by his or her middle name(s). Being a Sara Kathryn who goes by Kate SUCKSSS.
Haha, anyway, I sort of hope you have a girl because EVERYONE I know has boys... & because everyone likes buying little girl gifts. ;)
Looking forward to future updates -- especially on these insane dreams!
Hahaha, Nate's comment and your dream about the animals cracked me up! I'm still giggling about the animals! :-) Thanks for the update! I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages, lol.
Oh, and no stealing any of my "some-day" names...hahaha
"menfat" made me laugh so hard I snorted, hahahaha
