Pregnancy is going wonderfully. I do have constant headaches, every day. By the evening they usually get so bad that I say curse words when I stand up. Usually only in my head. I suspect that they come from my naturally low blood pressure which is even lower with this little baby growing. There is little I can do about that. I do crave salty things, especially chips, like a crazy person. I often give in to those cravings. Today it was spicy cheez-its.
We found out that our baby is coming with boy parts! It was a great experience. We had an ultrasound at 8:30am. We got in really quick. The woman was having a hard time getting the little guy to uncross his legs, but after a minute or so she started calling it a him. Jordan lit up and told her, "You keep saying his. Are you keeping something from me?" She laughed and claimed she didn't know yet. 30 seconds later she said just kidding, I knew it was a boy! And she showed us a clear shot of his parts. Jordan shot a fist in the air and gave a happy shout. I was just happy to see a heart beat and two kicking legs. I forgot to count the arms, but I am pretty sure there were two of those, too.
I found out Sunday that Jordan is completely serious about the names he has been suggesting. Let us just say we are on different pages name wise. I am on the "Mac, Samuel, Reuben" page and he is on the "Ragnar, Raphael, Gabriel" page. Somehow we will meet in the middle and I will try to be more open to suggestions that aren't my own.
There are many happy things going on. I have felt a lot more rested this week. Maybe that is because I sleep 10 hours each night, and more like 12 on weekends. BUT during my awake time I have felt very energetic. As long as I take my Unisom and B6 I don't have any of the queezies and my sisters gave me the best stash of maternity clothes. I am trying to buy a few things here and there to build up the stock for Kara's next pregnancy. Hopefully soon because she makes great babies.
I am praying for more months of complication free pregnancy. Extra prayers are always welcome!
Funny convo with J to end the post:
Jamie:Give me a score prediction for the BYU game tonight.
Jordan: Who do they play?
Jamie: Houston Cougars
Jordan: 34-10
Jamie: I'm stealing it.
Jordan: WHAT?!
Jamie: We have to make predictions at work.
Jordan: I put a patent on that.
Jamie: Too late. I wrote it down on the sheet.
Jordan: How do you sleep with yourself at night?
Jamie: With one knee poked at you to protect my side.
As a teacher, it is hard to fall in love with names as there is always that one student to "ruins" it for me, but with that said, I really like Mac. I have a 11th grader this year whose name is Mac, and he is such a cute kid. He is also the first kid I have ever met who is named Mac. Good luck coming up with a name!...it seriously was the hardest part of being pregnant for me. :)
ReplyDeletehaha I love you two and I love that I've watched your love story and now your first baby!!! I'm so excited for you I wish I could put a spy cam on you so I can be a part of it too (no, that isn't creepy at all)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! I am still trying to convince him on Mac. Trina that isn't creepy at all. lol. I will try to be better at blogging some day so you can feel updated like I do with your blog. I love social media because I really do feel like I can catch up on all my friends' lives.
