Just about halfway there

Being halfway through your pregnancy is 1) a good thing that time is actually moving forward, 2) a bad thing because you still have 20 more weeks to go, but 3) great because you have made it this far without any complications or real reasons to complain. Don't get me wrong, I am not happy at all about how my belly is way bigger than I think it should be right now but I am dealing with it. I keep thinking about getting through the awfully hot summer and growing bigger and bigger each week. I am feeling the baby move pretty regularly now. It's funny how at first you aren't sure if that is what you are feeling or if it's your belly telling you it's hungry or just your food digesting. But at this point I am fairly certain what I am feeling all the time is that little one kicking about in there. It really is a neat feeling, something that is hard to explain.  All you moms out there know just what I am talking about.  It's also the one thing that I miss once the baby is born.  My husband asked me today if I was feeling the baby move yet and I told him I was.  He asked if it was too early to feel it from the outside and I said yes but hopefully in a few more weeks he will be able to feel those punches from the outside that I am feeling from the inside.  Since we are not finding out the sex of the baby we are coming up with boy and girl names.  We have a couple good ideas but are still looking in case another name pops out as us that we just love.  Does anyone have any names that they really love?  We are looking for boy names that begin with B.  The middle name is going to be Edward because that is my husbands middle name and we are going to keep the same initials.  If the baby is a girl we are open to any name.  I don't really like names that everyone else has right now, I like something a little different but not too different.  I think we are so picky but I guess that's how you have to be sometimes.  We are going next week for my ultrasound even though we aren't finding out the sex it will still be nice to see the baby and make sure everything is still on track as it should be.  I will post ultrasound photos when I get them.  I hope the next few months go quickly because I can't wait to meet this little one and introduce him or her to all of you!
