Pregnancy Update

I am currently 27 weeks along and feeling more and more round every day. Everyone keeps telling me how small I am, but I certainly do not feel that way. I have reached the uncomfortable stage and have even started waddling around. I go to the bathroom atleast 50 times a day, and I live in sweatpants and big t-shirts. How come comfortable pregnancy clothes are so hard to find? It is almost like you have to be sloppy to be comfortable.

The nausea let up for a while but has come back. Still, I am only having to take 4-5 pills per week instead of 14. The nausea is really just happending during the night-actually the early morning hours between 3 and 6. Praise the Lord for that! I am still having a lot of problems associated with the Anemia. I feel out of breath, my heart races, and I am unable to sleep most nights. It kind of stinks, but I know that it is not going to last forever so I just try to make the best of it. The good news is that I am able to eat more now. I still get bad Acid Reflux, but I am able to eat some Mexican food once again. :) I love feeling the baby kick and move all around in my tummy. At times my stomach gets really hard and I can feel her head pushing up against my side. It is a little uncomfortable but kind of neat to feel her. She has gotten so much bigger in such a short amount of time. It is crazy to think how much babies grow during the second and third trimesters! I am starting to be able to see her move from the outside. I thought it would freak me out, but I really like it. Little Faith is taking over my body but I don't mind. :)

Faith's bathroom and playroom are all finished. I just need one more item for her nursery, and then that will be finished as well. We rushed to get it done because we thought Scott would be leaving this month for Captian's career course. But now that he isn't going, there was really no need to rush. However, it is kind of nice to have everything done. The further along I get, the more uncomfortable I get and the harder it is for me to do stuff. Now maybe I can sit back and relax and enjoy all my hard work. I need to post some pictures. I will try and do that soon.

We finally made a decision on the middle name. I had pretty much agreed to McKenna just because it was the only other name besides Noelle that I liked. Scott didn't like Noelle and was really pushing for McKenna. The first name was what was so important to me so I wasn't quite as obsessed with getting my way with the middle name. But then this last week Scott told me that he felt like the Lord was telling him to let me have Noelle because of its significant meaning. Noelle has always been my number one pick for little Faith. McKenna is pretty, but I could never really find its meaning anywhere. The one meaning for the name that I found was not that great. Since I am all into the meaning of names, I really wanted Noelle. What could be more perfect than a name that means "precious gift"? Plus, little Faith is going to be a Christmas baby; that is just another reason why Noelle works well. :) Anyway, I am excited about us finally agreeing on her full name. Most of all I am grateful to Scott for allowing me to have the name that means so much to me. Thanks, Scottie! :)
