Getting beat up by a baby is no fun..

It's true, I am getting my butt kicked by someone that hasn't even been born yet. This little squirmy baby is kicking me up, down and yes, all around. I get kicked on the left and right sides..at the same time. I think I have one large and long baby brewing. I have no idea how much he weighs right now, I do know that at 19 weeks they said he weighed about 12 oz. and from what I looked up, the average at 19 weeks is 9 oz. So, 3 oz. might not sound like a lot, but when you are the size of a banana it is...picture a banana that weighs almost a pound! Gage was a larger baby, weighing 8 lbs. 7 3/4 oz. but I think this one will take(and probably eat) the cake.

Oh and I know a lot of people know now..but we have an official name. Are you ready for it? Drum roll please....
brrrrrr....bum.....brrrrrr...bum

We're going with Eli Rylan. Now..if you think of the entire name, first/middle/last the initials will spell out something. That's right! It's spells my last name! I thought it was cute and luckily, Justin didn't oppose....too much. Eli isn't going to be short for anything, no Elijah, Elliot, Elias..nope..just Eli. So I'll have Gage and Eli. I think it's a good combo, both different but not like naming them Pancake and Falafel. No offence to anyone naming their kids after those foods..just not my cup of tea, that's all.

So far things are going good with the pregnancy. I'm still wicked tired, no appetite(I've gained 0 lbs.) and I'm carrying so different than I did with Gage. I'm just to the point now where my back is very sore all the time and I have to be careful how I lay down...so I don't leak all over myself. Sorry..TMI, I know.

Update on Gage:

He's awesome. lol..I know I say that all the time, but hey, it's true. He is awesome. I started to keep an official list of the things he says..so far I am up to over 120 words. I'm sure there are more, but when trying to remember them all..I was proud I remembered as many as I did. So, needless to say, he is doing really well. Especially when less than 6 months ago I wouldn't have guess he said 30 words. He should be starting preschool soon..but who knows. It all depends when they open the room...I'd like to know soon though, I have things to do to get him ready! This coming week will be interesting. We go to the genetic doctor and Gage gets blood drawn. I am not looking forward to it, they are going to sedate him. Not looking forward to that either. I guess this will be a test to see if we ever do it again. I'm already thinking no. Hopefully things go well...

I can smell a poopy diaper, so it's time to do some cleaning!
