Weight gain - Still no idea. I don't think much of a big difference, still my sucky scale in the bathroom hasn't changed much (if at all). It's such a hassle getting up and getting all the Wii stuff out because I'm usually being pulled in two different directions by a 2 year old, am sort of sick to my stomach because of being hungry, plus having to take off my clothes in the cold living room. No thanks. But then after I eat I don't want to weigh myself since it's most accurate before eating/drinking anything. I'll probably force myself to do it some time this week, though. Just looking at what I weighed at this time with my other two, I think I'm doing ok. Bump is definitely getting bigger!
Movement - Finally the little rascal has decided to make his presence known. I feel him a lot throughout the day. Still not hard kicks/rolls or anything, but I can lift up my shirt and watch my stomach jump up and down. Since he's breech right now, the places I feel movement the most is right around my belly button (his hands) and some nice kicks in the bladder, cervix, and hip area (his feet). I'm cherishing these movements so much. I feel such a deep bond with him already and I love it.
Irrational Fears this week - Actually, not much. I KNOW, RIGHT?! That's not like me at all. I mean, I've had a few instances where I think "what if they missed something on the ultrasound?" but I haven't dwelt on it much. It was just reassuring to watch her fill out the ultrasound form and everything - brain, organs, size, etc- she put normal on. At the end was a little box for additional details and all she wrote was "anatomy scan normal. Gender male" and I liked that because I wanted a really normal, boring ultrasound. His movements are also constant enough to not warrant any worrying, either. I've just had a nice weekend imaging life with a little girl and 2 little boys. :)
Finally, his name. I had this name picked out before I was even pregnant again. I heard it the first time on the movie Leap Year and I thought "there's a nice Irish name" (since Connor is irish and we wanted to stick with that if we had a boy). I then heard it again on that tv show Revenge and that just sold us even more. It's still not that popular here in the states and hasn't cracked the top 100 yet, although I think it will shortly. I figure I better get dibs on it now. :)
Declan Finn to be exact. I'm so in love with his name. I did read that if you like buying the monogrammed items like sippy cups, you can only find them online or ordering from Irish companies. That cracked me up a bit, but that's ok. I also worry a tiny bit about people not being able to pronounce his name right (it's Deck-lin since lin/lan/lun all sound the same when said) but luckily I haven't heard any weird Dee-clans or Deh-clan's yet..haha.
I'm starting the slow (and sad) process of going through E's baby clothes here soon to get rid of and sale. It's bitter sweet knowing I'll probably never have another baby girl, but it's also exciting to go through all of C's cute clothes and know I get to use them again. E, at 5, is so incredibly fun to buy for, so I don't get too down about bypassing all the cute infant girl stuff.
Belly pic soon.
