tid bits from my racing mind

I just did a whole bunch of work, and then doing all of the copy jobs for that said work and I need a break. I find myself much shorter of breath then usual. Id like to say its because the baby is growing and pushing everything up into my chest so its harder to breath… but I know that is still to come and that this shortness of breath is caused by me getting more and more out of shape lol. I was dieting/working out pretty good prior to getting pregnant and had lost a significant amount of weight (which I haven’t gained any weight so far this pregnancy b/c I lost 15 in the first 10 weeks, and gained only 1 back since then so I am still down 14lbs lol) and I am sure the weight loss helped a lot with getting pregnant. However, due to our prior miscarriages and stuff the doctor put me on 10hrs of bed rest, 12 hrs of pelvic rest a day. So that means I only got 2 hours of “light/normal movement” which is like walking standing and stuff. Lol. So I had to stop working out. My goal this pregnancy is to break even with weight. Maintain my weight right now (no, I wont tell you what it is lol) which my doctor agreed is a great goal.

Our original goal was to wait to find out the gender at birth, which would be a lot of fun… but I am letting David make the call. Part of me really wants to just find out so I can refer to the baby as something other then “the baby” lol. David calls the baby his “little missionary” lol. I just call them “baby” haha. We are such dorks. However, the other part of me wants wait and find out at birth. To have David hand me our baby and tell me for the first time “it’s a girl” or “it’s a boy” ya know? Just to have it be one of our first family moments together sounds so appealing. David originally said he wanted to wait… but now he is kind of swinging with his vote. We have time to decide. Our 20 week anatomy scan isn’t until Mid-December so we have like 6-8 weeks before we have to have an idea of what our stance will be. I'm sure we will go back and forth until the moment when the ultrasound technician asks us “would you like to know the gender” at which I am certain my husband will say “its up to her” even though I said it was up to him and I will cave and say yes lol.

If we have a girl we are confident that her name will be:
Adella Juliet Clausi
My family comes from a line of “Adel” names. My great grandma’s name is Adelaida, my mothers name is Adele, my middle name is Adelaide, and so we will be keeping on with that tradition with the addition of Adella.
The Juliet comes from David’s mother’s name. We figured since my mom (and prior heritage) is being honored in the name, so should his mom. His moms name is “Julie Ann” and we liked Juliana but I don’t like how Adella and Juliana end in the same sound lol. So we found Juliet and it just fit perfectly. Plus I am a huge literature buff, I'm sure I don’t need to explain the relevance there.

As for a boys name? Hahaha. NO CLUE!
There are a bunch of names we toss around and think we like but nothing hits us as “THE NAME” like we have for a girl lol.
We kind of want a “D” first name so that we can keep with David’s initials (DWC). We like Dallen, Dexter, Dawson, etc. Dawson is sort of a cool one because it means “Son of David” so the kids name would be “Son of David” Wayne Clausi. Lol. I don’t know, I thought it was nifty.
We also like Bennett, Archer, Ezra, Kyler, Orion, Griffin, Hayes, Sawyer, and a few others I cant think of right now.

So many fun things to think about. Haha. I don’t know how they expect you to logically get anything done when you pregnant. I mean, beyond the crazy inability to think of anything else except the baby, pregnancy, birth, and life there after with the baby lol… The exhaustion is killing me. In the beginig (like first 8 weeks) I thought “wow, this isnt so bad” when it came to being tired. All the other pregnant women around me were so tired and whining of sleep and my only complaint was the relentless nausea (that is STILL plaguing me!!) and I even went as far as to brag about how “un-tired” I have been. Wow am I ever eating my words lol. If there is a chance to shut my eyes, they are shut. I'm waiting for the day that my boss taps me on the shoulder and informs me of how loudly I am snoring lol. I am currently in my 13th week and I am still vomiting multiple times a day. Food will sound good, Ill eat it, and then barf lol. It doesn’t matter how its prepared, when I eat it, what the ingredients are, or how hungry I am… I WILL barf it right back up within 2 hours. Its been rough on me but hey—its all for a cause right? At least that’s what I keep telling myself. Plus, it has to end sometime soon right? RIGHT!? Lol.

Anyways. Work calls… gotta run!
