Let the Monogramming Begin!!!

"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him" Psalm 127:3

After much debate and discussion, we finally have decided on a name for the baby!
I'm actually surprised at the amount of relief I feel having one more decision behind us.
I love the thought of using family names that have meaning and I think we've managed to do just that.
At the end of April (or May as Weaver babies tend to take their time making their appearance),  we will welcome:

James Lawson Weaver

James for Patrick's first name (this is also a name from his mom's and dad's side of the family). Lawson is the maiden name of my dad's mother (which is particularly special to me as she has passed, but nice to feel her presence continuing in our daily lives). At this point, I think we intend on calling him James...

We are moving this week! So our next big decision is nursery decor. Otherwise, everything continues to go well. I'm definitely getting confused as to the whole food measurements. I went from an eggplant to a cucumber (which to me,  an eggplant is larger than a cucumber!). He has to be getting bigger as my belly continues to grow. Now he's up to the head of cauliflower (?!?!). Which is around 16 inches and 2.5 lbs. He is growing by leaps and bounds! And doing the same in my belly. His hearing and taste buds are coming into play. Apparently if I eat something too spicy, it could give him the hiccups! And I love spicy. He is starting some semblance of a sleep cycle (I hope he learns quickly!). There is also some comfort in knowing that babies born at this time frame have an excellent prognosis as his lungs have reached maturity (or very close to). 

I'm starting the 3rd trimester! Yikes, it's getting closer!! I was reading that this is the time when swelling tends to start (something I'm a bit concerned about because I walk a lot in my job; somedays they run me miles all over the hospital). But so far, the water has stayed where it's supposed to! The discomfort is minimal, everything is just a little more difficult to do. The tiredness is coming back around, but still, nothing overwhelming. I do have a pretty persistent backache, but a body pillow has started to work wonders. Some days he pushes on my sciatic nerve, which is when I call him a pain in my butt! But it usually only lasts for a day and then moves and gives me a break. 

And I'm still putting off drinking my glucose tang (mainly because I'm just not looking forward to doing so). But that is also coming up on my to do's this week.
