Baby update...

I haven't really said much about our next arrival lately, so I thought I should update. I am definitely "showing" to other people, which has happened much more quickly than it did last time. I started to feel the baby move last week - which is so exciting and makes it so much more real! It's not just a big stomach...there IS a baby in there! I usually feel the baby when I lay down at night. I guess I don't notice it during the day because the little guy/girl isn't a very strong kicker yet.
Which brings me to the excitement of the week....We get to find out what we are having on Friday!!!! Most of all, Clint and I pray for a healthy baby. If we could have our pick, we would like to be having a boy because this is likely the last baby for our family and we want one of each. Clint is pretty much convinced that it is a girl and that he is going to be spending several years at soccer games and volleyball games instead of football games, however, my mother's intuition says "boy". I guess I think that because this pregnancy has been so different (so far) and I am carrying this baby differently.
We don't have any names picked out, as we are kind of waiting to start that daunting task (at least for me) until we find out what we are having. It's not that I don't want to pick out a name, it's that it is probably the hardest thing for me to do and for us to agree on and I just feel that a name is so important. I feel like we did pretty well with "Maya". She looks like a "Maya" (whatever that looks like) and it just fits her. I just don't want to look at my baby after he/she is born, and say, "I should have named you ______."
The other thing that I have been thinking about lately is how different it is to have your second baby!! I already feel like I'm ignorning this baby because I'm not constantly reading baby books, playing music near my belly or searching for the perfect nursery items, which is pretty much what I did 24/7 last time. I occasionally even forget that I'm pregnant (until I look down, of course)! It's amazing how the world around you responds, as well. When I was pregnant with Maya, it's all that was talked about around friends and family. Now it's like, "How are you feeling?", and that's it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about it at all. It's just crazy how things change with #2!!
So...I will update you all on the sex of the baby on Friday or Saturday or a week from now when I get time - ha!
