18 Weeks

Eighteen weeks!! I’m feeling great (except for the occasional heartburn) and getting more and more excited by the day. Jason and I just can’t wait to meet our little boy! We still haven’t settled on a name. Jason keeps reassuring me that we have plenty of time…and he’s right. Thank goodness Jason's not quite as high strung/obsessive as I am. Can you imagine?!?!!??

I’ve decided that this whole making decisions for/about baby isn’t as easy as it looks. I have friends and family who have had babies, and I was always the first to volunteer ideas for colors, fabric, names, pretty much everything. Now that I’m making all the same decisions for my baby, I see it is a far more difficult task when it’s YOUR baby. Especially the name issue. I mean let’s be honest. It’s his NAME for goodness sake. I want it to be a good one, a strong one, one other kids won’t make fun of (at least for the most part). So, for now, we’ll keep discussing it. I’ll let you know when we’ve made a decision.

Here are the 18 weeks pictures. What you can’t see is that these pants I’m wearing (and have worn in several of the belly pics) won’t button anymore. They are being held in place by my trusty friend the rubber band (they're not just for ponytails anymore people).

Next doctor’s appointment/ultrasound is in two weeks. I’ll keep you posted on Baby Boy Keyes’ progress.
