We've picked a name

but we're not telling! I made the mistake of discussing possible names (before we had decided) with a couple of family members. Big no no. I don't know what it is with people, but they seem to think they have cart blanche to say whatever they want to pregnant people. It's as if they know what is best for OUR kid and what names would be acceptable for OUR kid. The unsolicited advice on naming was really annoying. "Don't name him that because people will call him ___", "When *I* was naming my kids I made sure to think about X,Y,Z" etc. My mom made some comment to me and I said "I guess it's a good thing you had seven chances to name kids. This is OUR kid and we're naming him what WE want to."

The baby is kicking really hard now. I have fun watching my entire tummy shake when he kicks. I can see a giant bulge wherever his feet make contact. I haven't thrown up this past week from brushing my teeth. Knock on wood that this trend continues. Boobs feel massive. Hair feels oily. Back pain is horrible. I spoke with my doctor and she said I've done everything she would recommend to help the pain. She's going to write me an order for physical therapy if I want it. I would love to go and get stretched out by a pro, but the only problem is that we are still so busy with the move and remodel that I don't have time to go. Hopefully things will slow down a bit when we are officially moved (out by the 4th!!!!).

That's all for now. Back to packing...
