Picking a Name

We've been busy looking for both boys names and girls names. We've started a list and we do have some front runners. However, we're not really sharing. Yes, another surprise you'll have to wait for!

So to satisfy your desire to know what's on our list, we will tell you the names NOT on the list. Below are the names that Kyle or I picked and then were vetoed for one reason or another.

Boys

• Carson
• Connor
• Kevin (sorry Uncle Kevin, but, no)
• Kaleb
• Harrison

Girls

• Emma (Kyle's #1 hated name)
• Olivia
• Brook
• Izzy
• Caroline
• Carson
• McKenna (Becky really likes this one. Someone name your kid this to make her happy)

one trimester down, two more to go

I am 15 weeks pregnant now. Just this week Kyle and I have noticed that I'm starting to show. I still fit into my regular clothes but I find myself wearing maternity pants anyway because they are so comfortable. No buttons...no zippers...I could get used to this!

I still feel pretty sick at night. Since I started my 2nd trimester I've actually thrown up a couple times. All the books said the morning sickness would go away after the 1st trimester, but apparently I'm not part of the majority. I am feeling better and have more energy during the day. I'm doing things like cleaning the house and doing laundry again which I hardly had the energy to do before. Kyle is really happy about that! I haven't gained any weight yet (still down 12 lbs since getting pregnant). My doctor doesn't seem to be conerned but I've been trying to eat more now that I'm feeeling better.

We've read that we should feel the baby kick soon (between 15-20 weeks). I haven't felt anything yet, but we are really looking forward to that milestone.
