How I Feel Today...

I'm feeling so excited today, so I thought I'd post. Tomorrow is the big day, the big ultrasound. We're opting to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl, so it's extra exciting for me. It makes it all so much more real. I've been starting to feel the baby move inside of me over the last couple of weeks. I don't really remember feeling Ethan this early, but I guess since I now kind of know what I'm feeling it's easier for me to tell when it's the baby moving.

I'm so excited to have another little one to hold in my arms. We've been waiting and praying for a long time. I know there are others close to me who haven't had this blessing yet. I know they will. I think of them often. Until then, they can hold the baby as much as they want. :)

The inevitable question of "What are we going to name the baby?" has been coming up more and more over the past few weeks. There are a couple of names I like, but I'm not quite sure yet, partially because I don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet. When I ask Dan, it's funny, it's like he picks whatever random word pops into his head. For me, the name thing is a much deeper thing. I like names, especially middle names, to be family names if possible or have some other sort of special meaning. With Ethan, it was easy. Daddy's name is Daniel, which is also a bible name, which also goes well with Ethan. This one...well, I hope that we can figure it out. I know we will eventually.

Well, I guess I'll post more tomorrow, after I've made the phone calls to family and close friends first, to reveal what baby will be. Stay tuned.
