Thirteen weeks
YAY! I haven’t had morning sickness for a whole week. For those of you single folks, that’s like having three months of drunken hangover days and finally getting sober. Except I don’t get to drink beer. All of the punishment with none of the prize.
My typos will henceforth increase since my son saw it necessary to pluck several of the keys from my keyboard. (My “N” key was particularly victimized.) Now they don’t always post when I strike them. So enjoy alot of this: “The rai i Spai sta s mai ly i the plai .” It’s like an NSA encryption. Or a “-SA” encryption.
I’m also going to post a “BOOYAH!” picture for all of you family and friends who said I was pooching out my belly on purpose the other day. I’ve popped and now I’m a chubby. I still haven’t gained any weight yet so hooray for not being a fatty. (If you were with me for the last two pregnancies, you know I gained triple the weight I should have. I was a FATTY.)
This week, they’re not calling my baby a fruit. NOPE! This weekend… it’s a… shellfish? Yeah. Our baby is the size of a medium shrimp? Why not just say the size of a tennis ball? Why food? Is it because I’m pregnant? You bigots. We’re still nameless on the child. Derek’s been booted from the naming committee. (So have Michy and Tio because you only pick names from the Hun period.) So I’m picking the name for the baby by myself. I’ll give 1000 credits to anyone who submits an idea that I put on my top three list. If you submit names like Pilot Inspector, you are disqualified. (Avenuetotherealsbiggestfan this means you.)
Fingerprints have formed on your
baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly
visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting
to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her
body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than
2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches
long (the size of a medium
shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce. As you start your
second trimester, most of your baby’s critical development
will be completed and your odds
of miscarriage drop considerably.

I have no clue what you should name the baby.
I always wanted a little girl to name her Mary. Obviously it’s a good Biblical name, but when she’s crying I want to be able to sing Run DMC’s song to her. You know the one that goes, “Mary, Mary, why ya buggin?”
Yay for shellfish!
you are too cute for words!!
and now for the names …
girl: nicole, emma, rebecca.
boy: joel, peter, david.
LOL on the names. I told my husband if it was a girl (which it is) that I HELD SOLE NAMING RIGHTS. I didn’t want him naming her after an ex. (green eyed monster) He shot down my first choice, and we agreed on my second choice, Lydia. I wanted a name that didn’t remind me of anyone I knew. LOL.
This site has been a help It gives the origin, meaning and such of the name as well as how often do people misspell it, how often do people mispronounce it? How do people make fun of the name? Check it out!
Matthew and Claire. I have no idea why, I was just sitting here reading your post, and those two popped in my head.
i always like the girl name “Celena” lol i just felt like this has to be a girl lol i have no idea about the boy, but i thinnk Lewis lol
lovely bump now! hehe, shellfish in your belly…yeah, i wondered too why it had to be a food name.
Who needs N’s anyway?
Hmmm… I’ll have to ponder the name thing. I love the name Jack for a boy and Sophie(Sophia) for a girl.
@starrynite45 - I liked a variation of that girl’s name, “Celine.” I think it’s a girl too. *winks*
@TheCheshireGrins - I LOVE Sohpie. But my husband already poopoo-ed it. He has NO good taste i baby ames. But he got to pick the last two kids’ names. It’s MY TURN damnit!
I like Ashlynn (dream) or Addison (son of Adam) for a girl and Gabriel means (God is my might) or Joseph (God Rescues) for a boy. Good luck picking a name for the new addition.
I like Addison alot. You see, I’m not the one to please here. It’s the friggin stubborn husband. And I really think it’s a girl. =) See you in 41 days!
For girls, I have always liked the names: Paige, Alexis, Gabrielle, Isabella, and Destiny
For boys, I have always liked the names: Blake, Ethan, Jonathan, Jacob, and Matthew
Don’t know if you will like any of these. Naming the baby is one of the fun parts! Enjoy it and take your time to pick out what you would really want.
Btw, for a pregnant woman, I think you look great! YAY for no weight gain.
I don’t get to be a part of the naming? *sniffle* WAAAAAAHHHH!!! I only called Aidan ‘Thor the Indestructable’ because I thought it was cute! I’ll be a little less epic in consideration of this third child. I promise.
Girl (it is SO a girl): Alexandra, Brianna, Sophia
Boy: Daniel, Brendan, Luke
Not too weird?
Wait, I forget Do you know the sex? I don’t think you could yet, right? Anyway…
Boy – Brant, David, Reece.
Girl – Lucy, (Lucy is such a sweet, feminine, adorably name, but it doesn’t fit with my last name of Bonds, so you guys can have it
) Hannah (which does fit, so you can’t actually have it, but you can stand in awe of our naming abilities 
) or Ruthie. Not Ruth. Ruthie.
Wait. I take Reece back. That was just… um.. no Reece. Instead, Gregory.
