Belly Boom!

I am now 18 weeks along and beginning to feel very pregnant. My sciatic nerve has decided to start giving me fits, this is something I never had with Joseph so the next few months should be a blast. I'm spending a lot of time in the massage chair...thanks Kim and Edna!!!
Luckily, this time around I won't have to deal with the Lousiana summer heat while pregnant so that's a giant plus in my book! As of now we are due at the end of May. My doctor is going to allow me to schedule the delivery a week earlier than my due date so we will have a better heads up of an exact day as the time gets closer. This week we are headed to our anatomy ultrasound so we can see all those teeny arms, legs, fingers, and toes! I'm beginning to feel a few flutters here and there but no real kicking going on yet. I'm sure with the next couple of weeks I will feel more and more movement.
We decided to find out early what we were having since I was 16 weeks right before Christmas. As hard as it was to keep a secret until Christmas, I managed to keep it zipped for 9 days...glad that's over with. And it didn't take us long to decide on a name for this little one, Jack. It was Vince's grandfathers name and we love to hand down family names, plus I thought it went well with Joseph :) The middle name is still up for debate and I'm hoping that once it all starts getting closer, Vince will decide that my name of choice is a better option ;) Stay tuned....

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!!! We are headed to an "In Bed By 10" party tonight! Just our style :)

Here are pictures of the gradual belly progress....
