May 17th 2012...

Well nothing much has changed since the last post besides my ever expanding belly.  I seem to be maintaining my weight over the last 3 weeks which is good because I think it was getting out of hand even though the weight gain luckily was only in my belly.  But now I am back on schedule with the Doctor's expectations.

I still have no cravings, no emotional breakdowns, no swelling and for the most part I feel pretty good.  I would definitely say this is the best I have felt in the last 5 months. For the past 2 weeks, I have been feeling numerous movements/kicks from our baby throughout the day which is so weird but amazing!  Ben has even been able to feel her once, but he doesn't have the patience to just let his hand rest on my belly and wait for more.  The movements don't hurt but I can't imagine a one pound baby doing any damage at this point.   

We still haven't decided on a name but we keep coming back to Avery, Kate & Reese, so there is a good chance two of those names will be used but we don't know the order yet!  We are open to suggestions, but you can't get mad if we don't use/like it. :)

Well that's it for now. My next appointment is May 30th and I will update the blog shortly thereafter.

Below is a picture from a wedding of a long time friend, Jason Dewrell.  The wedding was held at the Science Museum in Orlando on May 5th.
