Almost 16 weeks!

So we're moving right along! We will be 16 weeks on Thursday. Can you believe it? Last week we heard the heartbeat again - very strong. The Dr says all looks good. We are very thankful.

On November 1 we will have our big ultrasound where we find out the sex. We absolutely cannot wait for that! Can't imagine knowing who we're expecting!

This brings us to the topic of names - an important topic in our house these days. Funny thing is that we started out this pregnancy with a pretty sure, narrowed list of names and now it keeps growing - making us much more indecisive. We like the idea of knowing the name and calling the baby by it's name once we know the sex. However, we have also been thinking about having a couple of names ready for when the baby is born and choosing after we see him or her. Not sure which way we're going to go on that.

Other than the name choosing, we are busy thinking about decorating our nursery. This is very exciting to me (and my mom and sister of course!) We're planning on getting my entire library of children's books from Texas to Boston. Can't wait to share those books with our baby! He/She is going to LOVE The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Curious George!

And lastly, on the pregnancy front, the nausea hangs around. It is definitely better, but still here. Not to mention the lack of energy. BUT - all is good and worth it!

Stay tuned for Nov. 1. Will it be a boy or girl?
