Can I just say that my tailbone hurts? Sheesh! I'm not really complaining as much as I am simply expressing my surprise at how these aches and pains are coming a lot sooner than I figured they would. Sorry, readers....my husband doesn't like to hear my little reports about how my hips ache, how I'm having trouble sleeping, or how my boobies feel like they've been squeezed in a vice....so you will be my sounding board. I understand why he doesn't want to hear it....after all, he can't really do anything to help and I'm sure listening to someone whine for 9 months is not fun. But to my credit, I haven't really whined that much. :)

On the flipside, I am REALLY enjoying being able to feel my baby moving around on a regular basis. It's so great. Sometimes I just sit with my hand on my tummy and wait for a thump. I usually get to feel one (or several) if I wait just a few seconds. It's truly amazing to know that there are little arms and legs flexing in there.....that there is a PERSON in my belly! The thought of having a baby in our lives becomes more and more real to me each day. There will SOON be a moment when I become someone's mom and DH becomes someone's dad!

I've been thinking about names again...
I can think of all kinds of little girl names, but I'm sort of stuck with boy names. I still like the name X@nder for a boy, but I think DH was having second thoughts about that one a while back so I don't know if it's in the running anymore. I told DH that I like the name H*nry, but he's not very fond of it. I also like Li@m and Ph1neas (Phin for short), but I haven't run those by him yet.

I still love Tallu1ah or R~by for a girl. Some new contenders are Marl0we, Sc0u+, W1lla, and Ell1ot. I think I might like Sc0ut more for a middle name than a first name.

Eh...we'll see....
