Pregnancy Update~ 4th Month

Posted on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at 3:55

Here at last is a pregnancy update... somehow I completely skipped my third month... due to endless bouts of morning-noon-and-night-sickness, perhaps?  Ah, well, I'm much better now and enjoying life once again.  ~smile~

Here's Amy and me, taken earlier this week.

My baby bump.

I am now in my fourth month; 19 weeks to be exact, almost half-way there!  Now that the nausea has passed I feel much more like my "normal" self... except for a slightly larger belly.  ~grin~  I've gained ___ pounds so far (did you think I would really tell you??) and my midwife says I'm doing great!  The baby seems to be doing well, too, and I've been feeling quite a bit of movement for several weeks now... I love it! 

We had a sonogram the week after Thanks Giving and it looks like we're going to have a baby BOY!!  Of course we are thrilled!  After having two darling little girls to primp and fix up, having a little man around the house will be very different- and fun!  Jeremy is elated, of course!

We are using the boy's name we had picked out from the very beginning (even when I was expecting Amy & Emily): Keith Allen.  Both names are family names and are very special to Jeremy and I.  Keith is after my late grandpa, Rev. Keith Alvin Smith, who was known as "K.A. Smith" in our circle.  He passed away when I was about 7 years old and our baby will be his first name sake.  Allen is my father-in-law's middle name, as well as his father's, and is an adapted form of my grandpa's middle name, Alvin, which we don't particularly care for.  Little Keith is due to join our family around the first of May... both our girls came early, though, so we'll see if he's born close to his Daddy's birthday at the end of April!  

What's in a Name
