20 Weeks

That right, 20 weeks! This baby is half done cooking or about half done cooking!

I am feeling good, tired but that is to be expected while running after two other kids, working and attempting to keep the house is some presentable shape!  Chris has definitely been pull more then his share at home!

Will is excited for the day he can feel the baby move in my tummy and is really interested to hear about when he was a baby or still in Mommy's tummy.

Madelyn is coming around, I am now able to hold the baby!  She is very cute and excited for the baby too, although I am not sure she really understands the big picture.  Last week she woke up one morning and said to me.  "Mommy, baby no sleep in my crib" (note: she has not been sleeping in a crib for months now).  I responded well when it gets close for the baby to come, you and Will can share a bed and the baby can sleep in the crib.  Her response: "No baby sleep downstairs in the blue room".  I guess we will see how the whole room sharing goes!

Of course, Madelyn has a baby in her tummy and will be sure to share this information with you if the topic of babies comes up.  She will also most definitely inform you that it is a baby girl, who she will name "Baby Girl".  Very creative!  Recently she has two babies in her tummy (on one occasion it has gone as high as three!)  Don't worry they are both baby girls and will be "Baby Girl" and "Girl Baby". 

We have our 20 week ultrasound next week!  We are hoping to see a healthy baby, with everything developing on track and "normal".  We will NOT be finding out if it is a boy or girl, we will be keeping everyone in suspense, including ourselves, until this little one enters into the world. 

Names are proving to be a challenge, every parent knows the stress that goes into naming a child.  I have to say we are definitely struggling this time.  Our veto list grows by the day!  I have faith that by the time the baby arrives we will have come up with some great options! We just have some many friends and family members that have used up many of the names we like!  And no we will not be sharing any name lists or options.  Again we will leave everyone in suspense!
