So. . . We have started discussing baby names again. We had put it on hold until we found if it was a boy or girl. Now that we are getting close to that time we have started it back up. We decided that we would only choose a name we both really liked, no I choose if it's a boy her if it's a girl kinda thing. I think we are making real progress; we are down to about 40 boy and 30 girl names.
The people @ work say I have been pretty stressed lately. I don't really feel stressed but I guess I'm coming across that way. Jess is convinced it is subconscious fear about having the baby. We talked it out and I think she may be right. Don't get me wrong I love kids. I would take home any of my nieces, nephews or godkids in a sec, but utimatley they aren't mine. BIG difference! So I'm facing my fear, thumbing through some parenting books, practing some breathing exercises, mentally preparing for birthing classes, and double checking the budget to see if I can afford it. :-)
Anyway, back to the name thing. I have come up with a boy and a girl name I love. For a boy - Denton and for a girl - Robin.
Now I just have to convince Jess.

Dr. Appointment
So we went to the doctor yesterday. We found out good news and bad. Let's go with the bad first. The Dr. said I needed to watch my weight gain. WEIGHT GAIN?! Are you kidding me? Isn't being pregnant a free ticket to eat whatever you want? The one time in a woman's life that she can eat cheesecake for breakfast guilt-free. No, just kidding. I don't want to get big as a barn, but, man, it seems like it just piles on so easily when you are pregnant. Jon says that I'm not getting fat, I'm getting "baby." I love that I have a husband that would say that I look beautiful even if I gained 50 pounds with this baby. But then again, he did tell me my rear was getting bigger... Hmmmmm
On to the good news. We heard the heartbeat again. I think that is something that I'll never get tired of hearing. Jon is already trying to figure out how he can record it on my next appointment. He wants to put it on his computer so he can listen to it whenever he wants. I know, we're obsessed. But hey, give us a break. It is our first child. I'm sure that you were or will be just as bad. Last month it was 164 which got me thinking girl. This month it was 144 which of course got me thinking that it is a boy. Don't fret too much about it. I go on November 19th for my ultrasound. So unless this child is as ornery as his father(or mother) and has his or her little legs pressed together, we will know if we are having a Jonnie or Jessie!

Beginnings of a Blogger
Well, I finally got around to getting one of these blog thingys. I'm not much of a writer so you probably won't read anything too intellectually deep. I did this for our friends and family that we no longer live by. You will mainly see pictures of my rapidly growing body. But dont worry, in five short months those will be replaced by sweet pictures of a bouncing baby. Boy or girl? We do not know yet! I'm sure if you stay tuned you'll be the first to know. Okay, just kidding. I'm sure if I don't call my Mom on the way home from my ultrasound I may not live to see the birth of my first born. Needless to say, we are more than excited about the arrival of the baby. The name hasn't been decided yet, but for a small college fund fee we would be willing to take your suggestions! Well I guess that's about all I have to say about that. Until next time...
