I am seventeen weeks this week and couldn't feel more excited! I have gotten some comments lately about my belly so hopefully it is starting to look more like I'm pregnant and less like I just competed in Nathan's hot dog eating contest. I am still feeling great-- just emotional beyond belief and tired. Saying how hot I am all the time is kind of par for the course (like my golf reference, Ben??) for being a Houstonian and I would imagine pregnant or not, that is a big complaint right now.
Yesterday for the fourth, Ben and I went to our friends Luc and Katie's. It was so fun! There were so many babies/small children there to watch. I am sure for some it might have been overwhelming to be around so many young ones, but for me it was great. I cannot believe we will be having one of those in 5 months!
We have started getting asked what names we are considering. Ben and I have decided not to tell until the baby is actually here. It is not so much that I don't want to hear peoples opinions (even though I don't.) It is more that I like the idea of naming the actual baby, instead of the "idea" of the baby. I guess I would hate to pick a name and tell everyone and get monogrammed this and that for gifts..... and then the baby comes out and does not look like that name at all. How awkward to have all this stuff with another name on it or to feel like you HAVE to go with that name because you have all. this. stuff. Because Ben and I have very different looks, I want to see this baby before I give it the name it will have for the rest of its life. So if you ask and I don't really answer, that is why.
June was a super slow, relaxing month. July is going to be crazy. I am going to California for my cousin's 21st birthday and to Calgary for Ben and I's one year wedding anniversary! I am also taking my online classes for work and going to the Teacher Leadership Acadamy... and finding out what sex my baby is!!!! Can't wait!
