A Prune?!

Yes, our sweet precious little one is as big as a prune this week! Surely they could have come up with something better than a prune?! I told Clayton that our baby was a gross wrinkly prune and he quickly corrected me and told me it didn't LOOK like a prune, it was simply the size of one. But I can't help picturing a shriveled gross prune! Terrible, I know.

Nothing new here to report! Our baby may be a prune, but my stomach feels like a dang cantaloupe! I am very happy to report though, even with my growing belly, I have not gained a pound since the initial first 5 I gained that made me wonder "hmmm...could I possibly be pregnant?!" (:

I have recently decided that I would LOVE to have a gender reveal party. For those of you that have never heard of this (which I hadn't), here is a little explanation. When we go for our anatomy scan in July, we would have the doctor put the gender of the baby in an envelope without telling us. We would then take the envelope to a bakery and have them make a cake or cupcakes with either pink or blue filling (so that you can't see it from the outside). Then we have a big party and everyone eats their dessert at the same time and we all find out together the gender of the baby! I think this would be SO much fun! I'm not sure Clayton is totally sold on the idea, but I've got a month and a half to work on him. I'm also not totally certain that I would be able to wait to find out after the ultrasound. I guess we will decide as it gets closer! I can't believe that in a month and a half we will know what this little bean is! I can't wait!

We've decided (pretty much) on a name for a boy, but we are having a really hard time with girl names. I like unusual names, and while Clayton has really grown fond of my choice for a boy name, he's not terribly crazy about any of the ones I choose for a girl! I want to have names picked out for either gender when we find out what the baby is so that it can finally have an identity!

Life is good here and now that I'm finally starting to get my energy back we have a semi-clean house and I am actually getting some work (which has been totally neglected the past 6 weeks) done! I guess that's about it! Here is my 10 week 3 day cantaloupe picture!
