Name and 21 Weeks!

First of all, we have decided on a name! I knew what I wanted to name are darling son since the day we had the ultra sound, found out he was a boy, and saw his cute profile picture haha, but I had to convince Dan. We are going to name him Jaxon! Thanks to everyone who voted, we like all 4 names we had on the poll and will probably end up using them for our other sons that we have in the future!

Ok so I have decided that at the beginning of each week I am going to post the progress of me and Jaxon on here! (Or at least attempt to do it!) So this is where we are right now!

I am 21 weeks along (5 months and 1 week)

Jaxon:
He is about 8 ½ inches long and weighs about 12 ounces right now. He is fully developed and can even hear us now! This week his eyelids have finished forming and he is VERY BUSY moving around. He is swallowing amniotic fluid which is helping him get the caloric intake he needs!

Me:
My stomach is sticking out more and more each day! Most people can tell I am pregnant now – although I think a lot of people are afraid to ask JUST IN CASE I’m not haha. My feet sometimes hurt at the end of the day, but my cute husband has been giving me foot rubs and night which helps a TON! The nauseous feeling that I had all the time during my first trimester and beginning of the second is completely gone and I feel a lot better! I eat a lot more frequently now because I am hungry all the time.
Cravings: This whole month – I have been craving ice cream. I have always liked ice cream…. But I CRAVE it all the time now! I have to make a conscious effort not to go get it and I don’t ever buy it at the store because if I ate it every time I had those cravings… I would be HUGE haha.

Belly

So I am finally posting a picture of my belly! :) I haven't done any yet because I wasn't showing that much - but in the last few days (I know.... weird that it is that fast) my belly has really grown... so this is me 5 months (20 weeks) along! I AM HALF WAY! Crazy! And I had to hold my shirt up so you could get a better look, so that is why I'm holding it haha!
