Here is a picture of our baby boy at 20weeks1day!
Well, I am now officially halfway through this pregnancy! Unofficially, more than halfway(I have never gone past 38weeks). I am 20weeks4days today, and so relieved that everything is going so well. I had my Level 2 ultrasound on Monday, and it looks like we are definitely having a boy! There is no doubt about it! He also is very active, and looks absolutely perfect! I am so happy. All my genetic tests also came back normal. So, now I feel like I can really enjoy the remainder of this pregnancy. I have also gained 10lbs so far, which isn't too bad, but I'm hoping(yeah, right) to only gain about 10lbs more the rest of the pregnancy. We will see about that. As long as I don't gain more than 30lbs total throughout the entire pregnancy, I think I'll be ok. That's about how much I gained with both Austin and Emma, and I gained 40lbs with Kaylee because I was a little underweight when I got pregnant. I basically just try to eat healthy throughout the pregnancy and just let my body gain whatever it's meant to. Luckily, it usually doesn't end up being more than 30lbs.
But, today I'm having a bit of a name dilemma. Why is naming a baby so hard? We pretty much had decided on the name Kellan, but now, I'm not sure. That is the only name we can agree on, so that's a plus. And we both seem to like it. Most people do...although a lot of people just say "that's different" or something like that. Not that I really care what other people think, or anything. I just don't want my child to be teased in school. Although there a lot more strange and unique names out there! I do like the fact that isn't too common, and we really love the meaning. It's Irish and means "mighty warrior". We are also thinking that if we do stick to that name about changing the spelling to Kellen. And it seems most of our family like this spelling better also. So, most likely it will be Kellen, but I guess we're still leaving it open. I just don't know. I guess, we still have 4 more months to really decided.
