6 Months

In less then 4 months we will welcome our tiny baby boy!!!! He likes to eat & gets 100% of the blame when I tell you I've gained close to 20lbs already!!  Maybe 1% blame goes to my sister in law's amazing cookie/brownies that she made for our Thanksgiving celebration. Or my other sister in laws to die for chocolate cake.... I guess its clear that I passed my sugar test at 20 weeks!!!

My bagel craving has been replaced with a serious chips, salsa & guacamole craving! I'm sleeping well & have lots of energy!  Unfortunately all my energy seems to be put towards super stressful work times these past few weeks. Not sure what to do about that except thank goodness work didn't get crazy during the death (1st trimester) I would not have survived.  AND thank goodness to my amazing husband for doing EVERYTHING. He keeps us moving in the right direction, even if he doesn't know it.

I feel soooo much bigger & more awkward at 6 months then I did with Mia. I almost fell into the closet squatting down to get some shoes yesterday.  I'm not wearing maternity clothes but pants that are a few sizes bigger anchored w a BE Band I just bought at Target. We we see if this works as my ever expanding belly grows to epic proportions!!!

A few weeks ago we put a few of our favorite names into a bag to see if destiny would guide us in choosing Artoo's name. The results were as follows.
Daddy Pulled Nero. I am not even sure how that one got in the running. ugh
Mama: Pulled another daddy choice, Patton, which we both like but not the shorter version, Pat.
Mimi: Finally pulled a Mama choice, Chase, my #1 pick! Destiny?....daddy is just not going for it.
