Belly Pictures

Here is my belly at 21 weeks and 5 days! I'm so excited to see my belly grow along with my anxiousness for the days to pass by faster, however, it makes it harder to pick things up, and breath! :) But I'm loving it all the same!

**On a different note, Logan, Cory, and Greg have been all about riding! There conversations consist of camping, dirt bike riding, fixing or adding accessories to their dirt bikes, and anything else that might fit under those categories! He is so excited to go anytime he can and can't wait for the weather to warm up!

Name that Baby!

So, Logan and I have been thinking of names for this little boy ever since we found out what gender he was. When we first decided to have a baby, we had a girl name picked out and had kinda discussed a boy name. The boy name we had was Landon, but once we knew for sure that it was a boy, that name just didn't seem to fit. So we went on websites for names and must I say, there are some VERY interesting names. I came up with a list a few names that I really liked and told Logan, but none of them really seemed right.

One night, I was having a really hard time sleeping. The baby kept moving and I couldn't get comfortable and I kept trying to talk to the baby and tell him to go to sleep. For some reason the letter "J" just kept coming to my mind. So, I started going through all the "J" names that I know and weeding out the ones I didn't really care for. Finally I came to the name Jake, and I really liked it, it just seemed to fit. So the next morning when we woke up, I told Logan what I thought and it took him only a few seconds to say,"Yeah, I really like that name. That works." So there you have it, our little guy's name is going to be Jake. The middle name is still up in the air but it's nice to have a name to call our little guy when we talk to him.

It's a BOY!

Logan and I went to the doctor on Tuesday (for the first time in 10 weeks) and had all the normal things checked, and we also thought they would do an ultrasound since it had been such a long time and I was 18 weeks and 6 days along. But the doctor informed us that they don't do anatomy ultrasounds until you are 19 weeks and we would have to set up a time to come back next week for that. We were really kinda upset that Logan had taken work off to come and we weren't going to be able to see the baby. So, when I went to schedule my appointment, the lady told us that they couldn't fit us in for an ultrasound for another week! We weren't very happy and she could tell, so she called the office where they will be doing it to see if they had anything sooner. Luckily, they had one the next day! So we took it!

We had been so excited the night before and the morning of. We left for the ultrasound and were so excited. The first thing the tech did, was tell us what sex the baby was and this is what we found:

IT'S A BOY!

Here's his little foot!

The tech was trying to get a picture of both his arms but he kept wiggling around.

The tech said it looked good so far, but we would get more results later. He did move my due date up to August 30th!

We are so excited to be having a little one come into our lives. Now I feel like I can actually work on getting things ready. Although, I have to say that it is a little stress relieving that it is not a girl because it seems there is so much more items to purchase with a girl. So, now Logan and I have been looking at names and I have a few that I like but we just haven't had any jump out at us yet.
