answers...

...to all the questions i seem to be asked on a daily basis...

when am i due?
april 12th... please, any day but april 15th... i reaaaaaaaally don't want a "tax day" baby. really.

will you find out if its a boy or a girl?
ummm....YES. i've been dying to know since i saw that little plus sign.

boy or girl?
we go to find out if we're having a babyhop or a babyhop november 18th at 9am

names?
yes, they're all but decided... the boy middle name is chosen, but could still be up for discussion--should we find something we like even better. the girl middle name was FINALLY picked saturday... i thought of it on the way home from rocky mount... and lee & i both loved it.

telling the names?
yes, we'll reveal the name of the baby once we find out if its a boy or a girl.

do i think its a boy or a girl?
i have an inkling... but i will not disclose that information here on the blog for fear of TAINTING YOUR VOTE. ahem... yeah, make sure you vote :) k,thanks.

movement?
possibly monday night... i'm about 99% sure that's what i felt... but i haven't felt it since... we'll see. (it was in the right "vicinity" and it definitely wasn't the normally audible stomach growl)

clothes?
regular shirts still fit just fine...certainly a little tighter around the waist... but my regular pants aren't even close to comfortable.

nursery stuff?
no... of course not! i don't know if i'm having a boy or a girl yet... but next week, its FAIR GAME! (ohhhh pleaaaase, babyhop, cooperate!)

how've i been feeling?
GREAT! i'm still 1/2 lb under pre-preggo weight* at nearly 1/2 way through! no morning sickness this week... i wouldn't say that i could sleep at the drop of a hat, but i'm sleeping SOUNDLY at night... or should i say "noise-ily" (well, lee would say that) and i'm just plain HUNGRY all. the. time.

*since last check

symptoms/cravings/aversions?
my biggest symptom this week has been the baby brain... honestly, i'm going to do a post solely devoted to my baby brain. keep your eye out for that one.

cravings--yeah, we've talked about that here on the blog... spicy stuff... ice cream... and lately, its been anything edible. :)

aversions--hmm... tough to say lately... a big piece of meat looks pretty disgusting to me still (not as bad as it was at the beginning/middle of 1st trimester--when i thought i could've become a vegetarian)... but i can eat meat, just don't like the looks of a big ole pork chop or a steak or nothin'...

what does lee think?
he's ecstatic. duh! if you really ask this question, you clearly do NOT know him very well. he was BORN to be a father. trust me... between the two of us, i think he's the "natural"

is our family excited?
seriously?! who keeps asking this? i've been happily married for nearly 3 years to my best friend & now we're going to be welcoming a baby into our family... is that really a question that needs to be asked?

...i'm considering saying "oh no, of course not! babies bring nothing to the table other than another mouth to feed." ...but i wouldn't do that since i'm not the sarcastic type :)

hmm, that's all the questions i can think of for now... there are more, i just can't remember them. (blame it on the baby brain!)
