Little Movements...

This little guy/girl is so wiggly! I hadn't felt the baby move yet, and usually don't until I am at least 4 or 5 months (strange I know). But now, he/she moves all of the time! Seriously... ALL of the time! It is pretty fun actually. I always think that it starts to feel more real when they start to move. I wonder what they are doing and thinking. It reminds me a little of the movie "Look Who's Talking." That movie cracks me up... I always wonder what the babies think, if they even do, I don't know. But it is fun to think about. I am trying not to ge crazy right now not knowing what I am having. My sister is about 2 1/2 weeks or so behind me and she has a DR appointment this next week. We have the same DR so I have a feeling that he will do the same thing for her as he did for me, roll in the portable ultrasound machine to try and see what she is having. She also has boys, 2 cute ones. Her little kiddo will probably let her know right then!! AHH!! But I can't wait to know what she is having either. It is so fun being pregnant with both of my sisters. One of them is having a girl... after having 2 boys. She is going to arrive in a few days!! We are so excited. I think it could be fun if all 3 of us were having girls, for her sake, so she isn't the only one out of 11 cousins. But I really just want a healthy and happy little baby, whatever it will be! January 20th can't come soon enough!!!
For any of you who are wondering if/when I am going to put any pictures up, keep hoping. I like never take any pic's of myself when pregnant. I will towards the end, but definately NOT now!

A visit to my doctor...

So, I am about 18 weeks along, or 4 months... and I had my first dr. visit yesterday. Yes, I know I am a bit late, but we have been waiting on insurance stuff. Anyhow... now that is all taken care of. So, I went in to my dr., who is amazing by the way... best dr. EVER!! And he was excited to see me... he has delivered all 4 of my other kiddos... almost missing the last one. He got there just in time! He said to me, "So, any thoughts on what you are having?" I said, "no... I am fine with whatever!" He said, "I want to know what it is! Don't you? Let's get the portable ultrasound machine in here and find out!" I was so excited!! I couldn't wait to find out! And I knew I was headed to the mall shortly there after to purchase a new something... so he got the ultrasound machine and we checked out my cute little bun. Unfortunately we couldn't see the gender of the baby!! :( We were both bummed, but what can you do. I am due on May 22nd and we set up a date for me to be enduced on Saturday May 23rd. My parents will be in New York until the 21st, so I couldn't enduce early. :( But my dr. is on call that weekend so I will be his only priority! I love that! He was pretty excited too. So that is the date!! I have been enduced with 3 out of 4 kids, and the one I went into labor with was scheduled to be enduced and week after my due date. So I was late with that one anyway. I am not one for suprises, so being enduced rocks! And I get my dr. all to myself that day! And my parents will be back from their trip! What a great weekend! My actual ultrasound is scheduled for January 20th and I cannot wait!!! I am so excited to see what this new little one will be! I have been thinking about names... I like Amelia Lynn or Gwendolynn Loraine for a girl and Scott Aaron or Ryder Allen for a boy.

Any thoughts on the names I like?

Do you think we are having a boy or a girl?
