Damn you DQ!

I thought I was doing well, I thought my weight gain was under control. That is until I gained 6 pounds since my last appointment 3 weeks ago! I am now up to 12 pounds and the majority went to my butt.

I do have a very round pooch so at least I can pretend that is where the weight is going. I think the hardest part about being pregnant in the summer is not the heat but the temptations of ice cream, burgers, iced tea, etc.

I am also happy to report that last saturday at exactly 19 weeks I felt a kick. I had my hand on my tummy while talking to Matt on the phone and I felt it inside and out. Since then I have felt a couple more though not consistent. I guess that is to come.

Matt is home now for a while, looks like he will be home for the ultrasound in exactly 2 weeks. I am getting so excited. We have narrowed down both the girl and boy names to 3 each.

For boys, it is Merrik Milton, Miccah Milton or Maddox Milton (we have to take the grandfather's name and it has to have the initials mmm).

For girls, it is Nevaeh Lacey, Madison Nevaeh, or Savannah Lacey. I really wanted Savannah Nevaeh but that would give her the initials SNM (get it? S and M???) I am not that cruel.

Matt was really gung ho for Nevaeh and I was a little hesitant. He couldn't figure it out. I fought for that name for many years and threatened lives if they used it. Now he likes it and I am weary. Then I explained to him that I don't believe that that name belongs with this child - and I broke. He felt terrible and he didn't know either, but I honestly feel like our angel in heaven is a little girl and her name is Nevaeh. That is why I want it as a middle name, to remember her.
