boy or girl??

with less than 3wks to go, the question is, will this baby be a boy or a girl?

spencer and i don't have a huge feeling either way so we decided to test some of the old wise tells and see if we can guess.  of course there really is a 50/50 chance to be right.

Chinese calendar: Girl

dangle wedding ring on a string above belly and see how it swings: in a circle = girl.

carrying high or low: low = boy

morning sickness: yes = girl

crave salty food: yes = boy

what do your kids say: GIRL!

pick up a key: grabbed the wider part = boy

fetal heart rate lower than 140: 150+ = girl

what side do you sleep on: right = girl

You combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number: odd = girl

When you're asked to show your hands, you present them: palms down = boy

so as you can tell its very mixed reviews...what do you think?

the next question is what should we name this baby?

neither of us have a name that we really feel strongly about.  i feel like i have used up all the girl names and can't think of any that i absolutely love.  i finally told spencer it will be up to him but to name the baby....and he doesn't have anything up his sleeve.

so what do you think we should name this baby?

  and this is me then...35wks pregnant with the twins....and of so uncomfortable! and so swollen, and so tired of laying in bed not able to rest. 

and i really thought this pregnancy i would gain 20lbs especially because i can actually move around this pregnancy, and i'm only having one baby this time.
but...of course i'm just as big now as i was then...its a little scary...really scary how big i am and there is only one baby this time.  and its definitely not all water weight this time i think its cookie weight:)
i will say that being pregnant with only one baby at time is definitely way easier.
i am still huge, but only having one baby in your tummy at a time is just easier.  i can still sleep on my side, i still kinda bend down, i can still breathe.  yes, i'm uncomfortable as most pregnant people get close to the end.  but i really feel like i can't complain because i know just how much more uncomfortable it can really get.  and i am so grateful that this pregnancy has been super easy.
it was difficult for the first 18wks but since then it has been a breeze! i am so grateful!

so that was me then...and this is me now 36wks

huge right....and i'm getting a little embarrassed to go out in public being so big and over weight...let alone post a pic on the blog, but you forget so quickly how big you really are and what you look like. and i want this baby to be able to have at least some pictures of his/her big mama.

 the girls are getting really excited to meet their new sibling.  it has been really fun lately because they can feel the baby kick, and they kiss my tummy, and talk about baby CeCe all the time.

so here is to the beset pregnancy in history, and to 3more weeks of the easy life....ah what are we going to do with 3 kids!! the adventure awaits!
