Pregnancy Update--25 weeks

Several people have inquired, so I thought I'd give a quick pregnancy update. It turns out that all the symptoms I was experiencing before were due to an infection and dehydration. Once I finally went to the doctor and got some medicine and started drinking more water, all of the discomforts magically disappeared.

Now I'm feeling great. In fact, this is probably the best I've ever felt during a pregnancy. I have the energy and the motivation to actually do things--take my kids to the park, clean my house, make dinner, get down on the floor and play with my girls, volunteer at Makayla's school, shower get dressed and put on makeup all in the same day. It's great!

I'm just enjoying this stage as much as I can now. Next month could be a whole different story.

*********************
On a side note, does anyone have any good girl names they aren't going to be using? Kasey and I are kind of at a loss for another girl name. I've asked Makayla & Ellie, but after going through every name from the Barbie movies and all their favorite TV shows, I'm convinced we aren't going to get anything good out of them. And I've told Ellie on more than one occasion that we are not going to name her new sister "Andralecia" no matter how many times she suggests it. Thankyouverymuch.

yeah for being healthy that makes life so much better! names wise I know it is kind of old fashioned but I love it, Evelyn or Avalyn Chris won't let me use them. Also love Danae.

Julie said...

i always wanted to use Clair or Clara

Tam Tam said...

So glad you are feeling better!!!!

I will second the first commenter's Olivia. But I actually like Olive better. That was an option for Laurel. You may also use Laurel! How about Natalie? Hmm...I'll think of more.

Kate, Sadie, Emma, Sophia, Maren, Tristan, or Peyton, Those are all favorites that have always been on my list...except that I can't use ANY of them because they are all names of close family members. Grrr. So you should totally use one!! Sophia would be my fave for you. It seems to fit in my head with your cute girls' names. And I love all the shortened versions! Sophie, Soph. Just cute. Good luck!!

Oh good so glad you are doing better. Good luck with the names:) I only have two picked out for our little girl so far. We have Ella and Peyton that we are thinking of. I have always liked Lillian(Lilly for short) but close friend/ward member has a little girl named it.

Glad to hear that you are doing and feeling well! Girl names are hard to choose, but then again so are boys. I wish you the best!

Neals said...

So i don't have any names on the top of my head but I will do some thinking. Names are so fun!
I am so glad you are feeling 100% these days! It sounds like you have more energy than me and I'm not even pregnant. haha Tell the girls hi for me!

Unknown said...

Oh I have a list...and also 4 girls :D
Brian shot down almost all of my names!
I love Layla, Claire, Annabelle, Marlee, and Olivia

Jill said...

Yay!!! I'm not the only one that LOVES the name Olivia!! I hated the name Jane until I met a dear friend in Bountiful named Jane. Otherwise your dad would have had a huge fight trying to use that. I also like Lillian (Lilly), Annabelle (Annie)and Emma. You could name her Emma Lee (or Leigh) instead of Emily. There yu go. You now have my 10 cents worth. ;)
