I've had several people ask me this week if we are sharing the name we've picked for our baby boy. I think some wait to name their children until they are born, and some just don't want people to know for the surprise element when the baby arrives. I'm just assuming here, and I'm not really sure why most don't share the name they had decided on. Maybe because they aren't sure which name they like? I know my sister waited until her kids were born to name them, and had her options down to a few when they were born.
Anyways, Arthur and I have always known which name we liked for a boy as soon as we started talking about having kids. We only have a first name picked out, and haven't yet decided on a middle name yet. Maybe that will be our surprise element when he arrives. :)
His name will be Finn. Finn like Finland or Fish, which are two things that Arthur loves. Finn like Fennemore, which is my Grandpa's middle name. My grandpa was very special to me, and he died on July 23 of last year.
In other news, everything is going well with my pregnancy. No major issues aside from the standard night nausea and day headaches. My next doctor's appointment is a week from this Friday, on February 8. Then two weeks after that I'll be 20 weeks and can do my official halfway point ultrasound. That is something I'm definitely looking forward to. :)
How far along: 16 Weeks, 4 days
How much time left: 23 Weeks, 3 Days
Top two symptoms: I struggled with a really bad headache today. It started around 8 or so, and didn't stop until tonight around 6:30. I drank some Coke, and that seemed to help a lot. It's weird, but I never liked Coke, and still don't really like it. I just find that it helps my headache get better. I get nausea pretty quick if I move around without eating something before and after.
Favorite thing I ate today: Arthur and I went out to dinner tonight before we went to a movie. French fries. Delicious.
Mood: My mood today was ok. I get grumpy when I don't feel good, and so the middle part of my day sucked. I felt like I couldn't do anything because my brain was so foggy. I work really hard normally, and to not be able to think quickly and work fast really bugs me. I can't wait for pregnancy brain to go away.
Worried about: Lately I've been thinking about raising a kid in these times. When I was little, there was no iPhone, iPad, Wii or Game Boy. If we had video games, we rarely played them because they weren't too engaging. I hope that I will still be able to teach my baby that make believe and playing outside are fun things too.
Excited for: The weather recently has been awful. I am excited for the spring and summer time which means that my baby is coming sooner... Cold doesn't mix with excitement. :)
