Only 109 more days to go!

Out of 280 days! We're making progress, and I am getting HUGE! At least that is how I feel. And just think, the biggest weight gain is yet to come!

Dave finally scanned a few of my ultrasound pictures for me from our 20-week ultrasound. I do not scan pictures. It is the.most.boring.thing.in.the.world. to me. Hate it.

I am about 24 weeks now.

I have the most GIANT stretch mark you ever did see--on my hip of all places. It started while I was pregnant with Addie, and now it is just HUGE! It looks like I had surgery there. I would say it's about 6 inches long--at least.

Gotta love the effects of pregnancy!

Oh, well. I'd rather have stretch marks than ever throw up again. I am happy to announce that I have not thrown up in over a month!

However, I am still living around the clock off of my anti-nausea medicine. I keep telling people I feel like I am on a boat!

And I am tired, tired, tired!

I am looking forward to life after pregnancy. I cannot wait to meet this little one, and I cannot wait for the girls to see her for the first time!

We are getting closer!

Here are just a few pics:

Isn't she cute? She has a cute nose, and, as far as we can tell, she doesn't have Dave's ears! Whew! Just kidding, of course!

 

She's still skinny! She needs to stay in there for the next 109 days so she can get chubby before she comes out! At this point, I had gained between 10-15 pounds, but she only weighed about 1 pound! Go figure!

 

Her little arm:

 

The View: No boy parts!

 

Names we considered, but ones we are NOT going with:

Hallie (like Halle Berry) - Dave said no to this one

Lyla

Leah

Brinley or Brynn - Dave said no to this one, too

Honestly, we spent most of our time thinking up boy names because we really thought it was going to be a boy! The Chinese Gender Predictor Chart said so! And it was right the other 2 times! Boy names we considered:

Landon James (probably would not have gone with this one, though)

James

William as a middle name

Hudson

Quinn (Reilly's suggestion)

Rowan

My students suggested this one for a girl:

Onyxia

Reilly has added the following suggestions:

Flower

Rose

Daisy

Ha, ha!

None of the ones listed here are THE NAME. We really didn't spend that much time discussing names. I just presented Dave with my favorite 3, and he liked my #2 choice. Then we came up with a middle name from another name I really liked, and that was that.

It is our one secret.

Really? You aren't going to go with Flower McEntyre? Reilly is so cute. Such a girl.

Cannot WAIT to see you in July - and all your baby belly, too!!!! Love the name suggestions! If we were to ever have a girl (looking less and less likely, lol), her name would be Taryn Kathleen :)
