Movement

So Don got to feel the baby move. He said thats weird when he realized what I was showing him. I told him to try feeling it from the inside out. Mac is getting much more active. Its fun except when it wakes me up from sleeping.

Womb name

So we have been struggling to find a good womb name. Mom picked Thumper and I was fine with it but Don hated it and refused to acknowledge it. I thought it was cute and we like bunnies. So Don started referring to the baby as Nibbler from Futurama. I didn't think this was a good fit. So we finally found a name we could agree on. So we are going with baby Mac. This could be Mackenzie or Macguyver. We picked it being I've been eating a lot of mac & cheese. Mom thinks it fine so I guess thats what were going with.

Vote for sex

So we go Friday the 20th for an ultrasound and we may get to find out the sex. So please leave me a reply if your guess is pink or blue. I'm just curious how things will turn out. I mean you have a 50/50 shot. So far pink is in the lead but we are still very early in the voting process.

Don and I really don't have a preference. We are just hoping for healthy. However I do think Don wants a boy first to protect the little sister. Of course we will love either, so we will be happy as long as we get a good report.

Books to read?

So we are reading an awesome book called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Dr. Meg Meeker. It is fascinating. We have Boys will be Boys by the same author on deck. I am also keeping an eye on What to Expect, The Everything Pregnancy Book and 2 books that show the growth changes.

What books do you recommend for new parents to be?

Weight

So we are 15 wks into this pregnancy and I have gained less than 5 lbs the whole time! This is awesome. Its hard to know how much weight I've actually gained due to my fluctuating water retention. But I am thrilled with less than 5 lbs. I know now that I'm into the second trimester I need to watch my weight more carefully. I've started being more hungry so I'm sure this is the time where I could add weight too quickly.
