Story Time :)

Our baby can officially hear our voices, or mainly vibrations, but is able to begin recognition of mommy and daddy's voice.  I read that he will actually respond to us after he is born WAY more than other individuals because he should feel safe from recognizing our voices.  How cute is that?

I am a teacher and talk ALL DAY LONG, so i don't think he will have a problem getting to know me.  Eric however, is not talking right next to me as often so... we have started a tradition:

Daddy Story Time!
Eric picks out a kids book, lays on my chest, and reads to our little one.

It makes my heart smile each time.  

Gifted to us and super cute

Strange book

19 Weeks!

And doing Fantastic!  I still think I've only gained about 10 pounds and my belly is looking pregnant and cute... I have been sleeping wonderfully (with my Snoogle Pillow), having little pains!, good skin, and more energy to work out.  I'm not saying being pregnant is the bomb or anything but this month it is not so bad.  I was extremely stressed a few days ago and wanted to DRINK more than I have yet (I know drinking to cover up stress = a problem) but that passed.  It always seems to pass when I want to do something I "CANT" do because of baby... this little guy is worth all the sacrifices in the world.

Ultrasound: Watching him move around and confirming he was "normal" really relived me!  I just needed to see that he had four limbs, 10 fingers, 10 toes, 4 chambers in his heart, looked human, and moved around.  It was a completely priceless experience :o)

I still haven't felt much movement at all but am way more relaxed and looking forward to this experience in the next month.  I can't wait for Eric to be able to feel the him too!

So much is going to change!

I love him so much already its crazy!  I didn't want to find out what we were having for the longest time BUT when it came down to it today, I just couldn't handle not knowing.  All said and done, I feel more attached to him and am sure I'll buy twice as much ;)

 

Top Names:

Harrison Robert Meyer- Both of us love name and the H comes from my grandpa Harold who passed away this year.  Robert comes from Eric's brother who passed away at a young age.

Holden Robert Meyer- Same as above but a more unique.

Liam Robert Meyer- LOVE this name but now its #1 on the baby name list and that will just drive me crazy every time someone reminds me of it or has the same name as us.  

Others still talked about:  Luke, Andrew, Aidan, Hayden (Eric thinks this is a girl name).
