15 Weeks!

The last survey was getting a little too monotonous for me so I switched it up this week!!! :)

When are you due: September 17th

How many weeks:15 weeks

Was this planned or unplanned: Planned :) Towards the beginning of July of last year Neal and I decided to stop taking birth control. We knew that there was someone extra special on the other side just waiting to come down to join our family!

How much weight gained: -10 lbs. :/ BUT, that is all going to change! I finally have my appetite back and I didn't throw up once last week :)

Is this your first pregnancy?: Yes

Latest food craving: Well, if you're on facebook then you might have seen this all go down. Thursday night Nealio and I were getting into bed and I could not get the idea of a Mcdonald's ice cream Sundae out of my head. I was in shock because up until then I haven't been craving anything sweet. So I brought the idea up to my sweet husband and he did not oblige. Apparently he's been waiting for this moment because within minutes of leaving the home he posted to the facebook nation, "The time has come. This is officially my pregnant wife's first late night, ice cream sundae order." How dare he!?!?!?! Okay- I wasn't really that mad because he was back home within 7 minutes with a hot fudge sundae in hand. I'm a lucky women :)

Your top two name choices or baby's name: Well top two is out of the question now. We are in love with the name Liam. We've already started calling him that. But we haven't been able to figure out the middle name. I want to use a family name so we've been trying to piece together something that flows. As we were laying in bed last night Neal suggested using Max as the middle name (his grandfather that he was closest too). My first thought was, no way. His first name ends in an "M" so his middle name can't possible start with an "M", it just doesn't flow. But as soon as I said Liam Max out loud my heart skipped a beat. I knew that that was his name. It may not flow and I didn't expect it whatsoever to come to us like that but now I can't get it out of my head. I know that Liam Max is his name and Neal feels the same way. We think it's a perfect fit! :) So- as of right now... that's the name! And we couldn't be more excited about it!

Worst Thing about being pregnant: Having the toilet become my throne. Luckily I'm now using it the way it's supposed to be used. For too long I was using it to throw up my latest meal.... progress people!!!!

Best Thing about being pregnant: Growing closer to my husband and heavenly father. I'm coming to know more and more the importance of eternal families and I am blessed beyond belief that we're able to build one together.

The first person you told was: Neal. And then my co-workers wife/good friend Julie. I needed to get a trusted opinion on the doctor I should go through! She was so sweet and got us set up with an amazing doctor! I absolutely love Dr. Chalmers :)

Are you more scared or excited: Excited. But scared in a good way, too.

Happy or mostly moody: I would say happy... but you would have to ask my loving significant other that question. Maybe he should start filling out these surveys!

Last time you cried over something ridiculous was: I wouldn't say it was ridiculous but I usually don't cry over a simple phone call. My brother and sister-in-law called Neal and I yesterday when we were out shopping. They were just calling to say Hi and see how our shopping was coming along for our new addition. After we got off the phone and were seated at the restaurant for lunch, I started crying because I thought it was so nice that they remembered how excited I was to go shopping after we found out what we were having. I wrote on our blog the previous week that I couldn't wait to buy the first outfit. They remembered, called to see how it went, and it made me cry! Pretty ridiculous because to some it may not be a big deal but it really meant a lot to me. After the waiter came to get our order, I was a little embarrassed that I had tears running down my cheeks so I got to use the phrase, "sorry, I'm pregnant". I wish I could say that it was the first time I've used it but unfortunately not....

Weirdest dream you've had since pregnant?: Oh... I might have to save this one until next week. I have absolutely no energy to write down or let alone remember the crazy dreams I've experienced since getting knocked up.

Will you breast feed: Planning on it! I've been warned how hard it is at first so wish me luck :)

Words of wisdom : The Lord is mindful of all of his children and answers prayers as you seek answers :)
