She's "Dancing"

Well, I guess I've officially find her moving all around. I can now decifer the gas from the moving. Yesterday we put Grandma's Carolyn's wood in and she made the best clam chowder and everytime I took my first bite of my 4 bowls of chowder...hehe...she would kick. My mother seems to think that she is dancing in there, but who knows what she is doing, me, I seem to think she may be a hyper one!

Last night, after my craziness of thinking that everything had to be clean before I went to bed, I was laying in bed just rubbing this large thing in front of me and all of a sudden right at my belly button, she kicked...and hard, I yelled to Tim, but he was too late, she stopped. I tried to get her to do it again, but no luck. I felt bad for him, but he is cool with it and said that he will feel it sooner or later.

This weekend was just a range of hormones. I have did nothing but cry...cry...cry. Tim finally said to be on Saturday night, "do you want to go spend the night at your moms?" And I said, I would love to. It was a chance for us to get out of the house and just have a night away. It was wonderful. Mom was working but we got to visit with her when she got home. We got up on Sunday and went to church with her and then to grandma's for the day.

I have been having alot of belly pain. I think its just the belly stretching and everything stretching, but god it's painful...I just keep telling myself...no pain...no gain!

Her name is set in stone and I will finally post it because I have promised everyone that I will not change it. The kids love it and have been talking to her and calling her the following name:

KARA MICHELETTE

There it is...no Kennady and no McKenna...KARA it is...I go back to the doctor on Thursday, hopefully we will have another ultrasound soon so the heart chambers are clear, and on Thursday we will know about my cervix length...I'm hoping no news is good news and we can keep ourself shut without stiches!

I'll update more on Thursday.

xxoo

Well today has come and gone, and all the anticipation came down to just a few words..."you want to know what it is right?" and as soon as she said "It's a girl" instantaneously my heart dropped and tears started flowing, I look at Tim, and his eyes were just glowing, my mother and grandmother who were also there just couldn't stop smiling. I thought for sure that all this time it really was going to be a boy, until this morning, Tim got up to get the kids up for school and he said, "I had a dream last night that it was a girl" I smiled and rolled over and said to my self "it's a girl" I got up and took the half hour to do my hair and start drinking the lovely H2O and we headed out the door, I was so nervous.
The Ultrasound tech said that I will have to come in for more testing because she wouldn't stop moving around for her to get a clear picture of the heart chambers but it was nothing for me to be worried about. The baby is measuring big already, the ultrasound tech said that I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule so maybe we will have an early baby. The first thing I noticed was her BIG head, she will definitley have her fathers head.
Afterward, Mom, Grandma, Tim and I all went to Panara for breakfast and we talked about names and then discussed these wedding plans. Tim and I have also started to plan our wedding in the midst of all of this chaos! After that we went to Target because I have been eyeing this carseat since before I even met Tim, I said to my best friend Molly, if I have a baby and it's a girl, I am getting this carseat! Well with a pricetag of $269.99 and me looking at it for oh...15 minutes or so, I decided that it was probably stupid for me to spend that much on a carseat. We spent almost an hour in the baby isle in Target, Tim was hilarious. "Hun, look at this, Hun come here look at this, isn't this cool, oh my god I want this, hun, hun, hun". He was soo cute and soo happy. We've decided on a jungle theme, there is an 8 peice pattern in Target I think we are going with. I have to go register there in the next couple of weeks for my baby shower, so I think I will be going with that. My mother could not keep her hands off the baby clothing, she was grabbing things left and right. I of course bought a blanket that says "My little princess" I am of course the big princess and baby girl will be the little princess.
On another note, my maternity clothes got here today. No more rubberbanding my pants together (with the exception of my work pants) My mom saw my pants today and said, if you don't go get bigger clothes soon, I will buy you them and make you wear the uglist things ever! She bought me a shirt today in Target...she's the greatest!
Makayla and Brandon were absolutley esctatic when I told them. I had to go into work today so Brandon gets off the bus firsts and calls me and says, "so is it a boy?" and I said "try again" he's like "I get another sister....yeah....i can't wait, when is she coming, what is her name?" Tim got to talk to Makayla and I thought she would be a little jealous, but she was great with the idea and is excited that we will be having a shopping partner!
Our names have taken a turn. We or I should say, I with the influence of other people have decided that MaKenna and Makayla sound too much alike so Tim and I are debating other ones, what I like, he doesn't and what he likes, I don't so, I'm sure her name will pop up sooner or later! We weren't going to tell anyone the names for this now fear that I have that when people give their 2 cents it makes me think I should change it, Tim keeps telling me not to care what others think, but I want everything to be perfect, you know it's my first and all. It's actually gone way out of league and people are getting hurt by the whole situation, it seems that one just cannot be happy for another...oh well i'm happy and that's all that matters!
Well, I have a million phone calls to make and I'll blog again soon...she's really starting to move around alot so I will keep you updated!

The Names are Picked OUT!

Well, after talking to Tim and really discussing it, we have come up with names, we've shook on it and we have finalized them. We have changed the girls name, you know the last time I said no one is changing our mind....well after us saying it over and over the other night in bed, we have decided to change it.

We have put a lot of thought and talking about it and alot of research into the names and here is what we have come up with:

McKenna Michelette (Tim's god mother's name was Miss Scholette, my mother's name is Michele and my middle name is Collette)

Logan William (Logan is just a name we like and William is an uncle I have, my grandfather's name was Wilfred and Tim's godfather's name was William)

There it is, we weren't going to tell people because we just wanted to keep something a secret because next Tuesday we are finding out the sex, but we decided to let everyone know, I can't keep anything a secret, so what the heck...

I want this to be the last name picking, but I'm sure others will come and go through my mind, but I made Tim promise me that we wouldn't change it.

Well, I'm breaking down and going to buy maternity clothes today. A girl I know opened a new shop in Watertown and the clothes come in all shapes and sizes so I'm going down there to take a look. I'm thinking after 20 weeks of pregnancy I ought to buy clothes that fit, my folding down the buttons just aren't working anymore!

Confused, Frustrated and just plain "insert mood here"

Well, here I sit, on the computer once again. Many things that I should be doing around the house, but Tim's at school and then going straight to work, so I have the house all to myself. I have to be to work at 7a.m., but when the heck, why not blog.

So, I was typing away, doing things on the computer, ok...I was looking up baby names. And in the midst of it, I just decided I NEED TO BLOG. This is what happens when no one is around to talk to....I need to blog.

To be perfectly honest with you, I haven't the slightest clue what we are calling this creature inside me if it's a boy. We have had the girls name picked out since before we conceived...actually we picked it out one night laying in bed in Florida watching a TLC show and we've stuck with it and no one is changing our mind. I made my appointment today for my ultrasound for the anatomy scan...I have until the 18th of September but I'm still so nervous. I want to find out, but I don't want to find out. I want to be prepared to call it by it's name as soon as the technician says what the gender is, but I'm stuck on a boys name and just my luck it's going to be a boy.

Is this normal, so many things going through my head...I hate it when no one is home, I think way to much! If anyone has any idea what I should do, please feel free to give your 2 cents or even 10 cents for that matter.

I'm sure this just looked like I talked about nothing, but I'm scared that in 20 more weeks, my baby boy still won't have a name, that is if it is a boy!
