23 weeks



I can finally say that I love being pregnant. I'm sure it won't last much longer, but for now I'm enjoying it. The first couple of months were definitely rough and I know the last few weeks will be the same. Last weekened we registered at Babies R' Us and that was a headache! There were so many things to choose from we couldn't even make up our minds on what we needed/wanted.

For the last couple of weeks, I have been feeling her constant movements. She's definitely an active little girl! She seems to sleep around dinner time, but she's awake and kicking right around the time that I want to go to bed! Craig has also been able to feel her kicking and she seems to react a lot better to his voice than mine. I think we've decided on a name for her, but we're not totally set on it. It's really the only name that we have both agreed on. We've been set on her middle name since the time we found out we were having a girl. We are passing on my middle name, Suzanne (said like Sue-Zayne). This is my Grandma Boyster's first name and I've always known I wanted to pass it on to my daughter. So, we we've been trying to find a first name that goes well with Suzanne. All the names we liked started with an A, and we wouldn't want our little girl to have the initials of ASS. So, we have decided on Eden Suzanne Shaver.

Sorry for the lame cell phone picture of my belly!! I took it last week while I was at work and haven't gotten around to taking one with our digital camera. Maybe next week. The bathroom stalls make for a beautiful background, don't they?

Aw cute belly pic! I am glad you are finally enjoying your pregnancy, I know how hard the beginning can be w/ morning sickness. I love the name you have chosen.
