23 weeks

Guys- we have reached viability :) 



That's what I say when I know if anything were to happen (knock on wood!!) and I delivered anytime from here on out, our baby girl would have a shot at life. 

This baby is a night baby for sure! (Thanks night shift!) It's been so awesome to feel her kicks and flutters, and she's big enough Kyle can feel them too. As my belly has been growing, I point to it and tell Emma there's a baby in there. So throughout the day she'll point to me and say "mommy", herself and say "Emma" and my belly and say "baby". It's precious!

My belly seems to have reeeeally grown in the last couple weeks. Fortunately, my weight gain is much more controlled than it was with Emma. Even if it's just a pound less, I'm determined to not gain as much as I did with her. Haha. 

I hadn't seen my older brother in a while, and the first thing he said to me was "wow, you're about to pop!" Yeah... Thanks bro. Love you too. I still have FOUR months to go!!! I will say though, my belly seems to double in size from the moment I wake until bedtime. It's crazy! Below is soon after waking, not so bad.


We are having a hard time deciding on a name, we've slimmed it down to 3. But, nothing I've felt "in love" with just yet. Almost... But I'm thinking it may be one of those "I just have to see her to know" things. I knew Emma would be Emma before we even knew we were pregnant, so this whole can't decide on a name thing is hard. Names are so important to me, they stick around with someone for a long time! Haha. I am so just so excited (and anxious!) to meet this little person kicking my insides. If she's anything like our first child- she will be awesome. 

But, how do you love another as much as your first?! Please tell me. Because as excited as I am, I'm a little sad that it won't just be Emma anymore. I know, it sounds weird. 

Baby girl- we can't wait to meet you!!!


*name suggestions, anyone?!
