Last but not least....

I finally told my Dad on Saturday. He was the last person to know, sorry Pops! We gave him a copy of the ultrasound (previous post) and he is also sure it's a boy and asked me if I was going to name it Robert. I had to remind him that he already has a child named after him, remember your first born?, yeah that's the one. So, no, not Robert.

OK, so let's talk about names. Beto actually picked a boy name early on that has stuck so far...Maximus (Max). I really like the short, very guy, kinda names-Max, Sam, Tom. Maximus is the winner so far.
The girl names have been harder to come by. Beto likes Lexy, which I have vetoed. Not Alexis, which is worse, but Lexy, not short for anything. I like Madison (Maddie), he has not vetoed that one yet. I did think of a very cool girl name which Beto didn't like, but I think he just didn't get it, Aja. Yes, from Steely Dan. I like it. I will take suggestions, but don't be offended if they get shot down.

How am I feeling? Overall, OK. Still a bit tired, which according to the books says I should start feeling more like myself now that I've begun the 2nd trimester. This is supposed to be the easiest 3 months. Still waiting for my energy to kick in. Today, specifically, I'm feeling overly emotional, I was listening to Dancin' Queen by Abba on the way to work, usually a very uplifting, fun kinda song. But I thought how I would like this one played at my wedding (yes, we are getting married, eventually) and it made me teary. Go figure, Dancin' Queen makes me cry. What an emotional retard. I am also experiencing some major constipation, which isn't painful, exactly, but definitely uncomfortable. It's the hormones slowing down my already irritable digestion system. And I can't take anything for it! Just water and fiber pills, which make me bloated. I guess it's better than nausea and vomiting, I should count my lucky stars :)
