136 Days to Go..

I am a little over half way there. The first twenty weeks have really flown by fast. I know when summer gets here and it gets hot, I will be miserable. Other than being a little tired some days, I feel great. I'm not the cute pregnant type, I get big all over. I'm definitely getting a tummy, but to some it my look like I've just eaten too many cookies. Blah. It's so worth it and I have the knowledge of how to loose it after she gets here. I did give up fried chicken for lent... maybe that will help keep the weight down, but only for another week and a half. Fried chicken and ranch dressing were two of my cravings when I was pregnant with Campbell. This time around I've been craving avocados and salad. Which is great, but that's not all I eat.


Baby girl is getting active and it's mostly at night. I don't think she is nearly as active as Campbell was. I don't think anything is wrong, I just think Campbell was overactive! He had the chord wrapped around his neck four times and it was tied in a knot.. so yeah, I think he was very overactive! Cooper has decided our name choice is up for debate and he has me wondering too. I don't want her to be called "CJ". If she is anything like her mother, she will politely correct people who call her "CJ". I grew up saying "It's Emily Anne not Emily". I am keeping our other name locked in a safe. It's very different and I have never ever met anyone, male or female, with this name. As for now, I'm still calling her Carter and Cooper is calling her something different. I'm really ready to start monogramming, but we don't really have room for anything yet. Mom bought her some outfits and goodies and I made her take them back home with her because we don't have room for one more thing in this house. Poor thing might not even have a room when she gets here. We do not have any storage space. Our house is a true bachelor pad. My closet is in Campbell's room. Campbell's closet is the curtain rod and tupperware boxes. We are debating on adding on or moving into town. I'm for adding on, but we shall see.

I am with you on the "not cute" pregnant! I still don't look "pregnant" just fat! ha! I just get wider, instead of going "out" and I can't wear my clothes because of my butt, not my belly!! Not cute :(
And you're pregnancy sounds exactly like mine is going! ha! I guess since we're due only a day apart!

Oh, and all I want to eat is cold bar-b-que grilled chicken dipped in ranch dressing (I think that could have a little {or a lot} to do with the "wide" part!)
