Baby news

Taylor is out because it is apparently THE name right now. Ellie is out because too many people said "Oh! Ellie May?". Maybe Chloe? Chloe Rose Matthews? Ugh. This is hard.

Ever heard that it is okay to drink a glass of wine while pregnant? I have heard that, so when Ryan and I went out to Texas de Brazil for our anniversary I tried to sip a little champagne (it can't be much different than wine, right?). Well, that started a soccer tournament in my stomach! I spent the night hovered over the toilet. I will not try that again! Other than that, we had a great time - we LOVE that place.

I went to my dr. this week for my check up. I ran into a old classmate, Lisa Foushee, in the clinic. She and I are due around the same time and each have a three year old, so we had lots to talk about. According to my OB, everything is going great. The nurse asked me how I have been feeling. I told her that I have been getting a weird tingling sensation in my legs and the only thing that helps is to sit/stand very swayback. She said that the baby is sitting on my sciatic nerve, which is very common. I didn't have this problem with Christian because I think I carried him wider, if that makes sense. She suggested I try wearing a Belly Band. I picked up one up and have not had that weird feeling since! I actually feel so much more comfortable and don't have to push my stomach outward just so my legs don't go numb!

Here are a few pictures from May 2006. I had about 13 weeks to go...
Here I am now wearing my new Belly Band, with about 14 weeks to go...
