We had our big ultrasound yesterday, and...



Praise God that he is healthy and normal! He's about 9-10 inches long now, and 12 oz (don't ask me how they can tell how much he weighs). Tony thought it was a girl, but after we saw how active he was, I suspected it might be a boy. He moves around a LOT -- the sonographer kept commenting on how fast and busy he was. (Of course, that may or may not have anything to do with the Kit Kat I ate earlier that afternoon.) He's always kicking me now -- it kind of tickles! It's still so weird to me... like there's an alien growing inside me or something (I can't help but think of Breaking Dawn and Bella's monster baby).

So that answers ONE of the most commonly asked questions that everyone felt compelled to ask me in the past few months since I've been showing more. Janelle suggested I print a shirt with the answers and just wear it around so I can just point to it when people ask, hehe.

• When are you due? September 25
• Do you have morning sickness? No
• Do you have any cravings? No
• Is it a boy or a girl? Don't know
• Do you want a boy or a girl? Don't care
• Do you have a name picked out already? No
• Wow, you're huge! ...Thanks?

Okay, I'm guilty of asking the same questions to people (except the last one). :) I suppose you gotta get the basics out of the way first! We have some names picked out, but didn't want to narrow it down until we found out the gender. A few years ago, I was reading through my old diaries to find good fodder for girls' small group (I often read from my old diaries so the teens can learn from my mistakes/stupidity, haha). I came across an entry I wrote sometime in elementary school in which I promised God I would name my children after people in the Bible. Do you think that still counts? Hehee. If so, that severely limits our options, sigh. It also doesn't help that there are so many kids at our church, and they've taken all the good names! Hehehe. So name suggestions and ideas are welcome! But sorry, we're not going to reveal the final name until he's born. :) 20 weeks down, 20 more to go!
