Obsessed--yes I think so.

Well, the past few days have been exciting.

FIRST OF ALL! In exactly ONE WEEK we find out the sexes (hopefully they cooperate with us:-) I can hardly wait--I am so excited. I keep looking at girl names (girls because we have our boy names picked already) and I seriously can't find any names I like. Over the last few days we've been OK with Melanie (unsure about the spelling), Olivia, and Addison. I feel like there was one more but I can't remember it. I've been pouring over names like crazy. We have decided on a girl middle name--May. It was my grandmother's middle name and we both really like it. I kind of like it as a first name, but Chris isn't too keen on it, which is OK, because it's a great middle name.

Second, I cam obsessed with babiesrus.com. I've been registering, and it's so fun looking at everything and picking out what I want.
I will say that realizing how much stuff I need for the babies made me feel somewhat overwhelmed. Not so much about the stuff, just about having 2 newborn babies at home! And being responsible for them. Not to mention all the breast feeding craziness. At the same time I feel a bit more prepared having picked out what I need and feeling like I have a better idea of what to expect.
So babiesrus.com has been my obsession lately! I seriously had to make myself stop going online. I have a few more things I need to register for, like clothes but I really can't do that until I know if it's boys or girls.

Third, my belly is getting big big bigger! I feel like it is anyway. I will post a pic tonight and you can see for yourself :-) Honestly though--I am bigger. A friend of mine from church let me borrow some her maternity clothes, I went through them all and picked out what I liked. I got about 5 shirts, she is a lot shorter/thinner than I am so most of the bottoms didn't fit but I was happy to have some new shirts. They are actual maternity shirts--so now I really look pregnant walking around. Not like I'm trying to hide it. haha. I feel cute though.

Speaking of feeling cute, I also got my hair cut. It's very different than what I normally do. You will see in the pic, but I really like it. It's exactly what I wanted. As you can see in my last pic I had kind of let my hair grow out and it didn't have much of a style, but now it definitely does.

In other pregnancy news, my appetite has really started to increase. Up until now I ate rather small portions or not much at all because my stomach always hurt. I feel very hungry lately though--all the time. I notice too that I am eating bigger portions.
Also, I crave candy all the time, like starbursts and skittles. I've never really been a candy person, but this pregnancy has made my sweet tooth come out! Concerning weight, I'm doing very well. I haven't gained very much weight at all--which at this point is a good thing. I am very conscious of my weight--not in an unhealthy way, I know I am going to gain weight--I just don't want to gain a ton of excess weight. I haven't really gained weight anywhere on my body except my belly. I feel like I look the same. I have a few shorts that were just too big for me, a few sizes too big, and I can't wear them anymore. But only because of my belly--they look too big on me otherwise. So--I feel like that is a good thing, in terms of gaining lots of weight.

Well I suppose I am just blabbering on and on. So I will go.
I will post a new pic later on tonight!
