So here's me and baby at 21ish weeks! He's doing well and has been kicking up a storm lately. I love feeling all that movement- it makes me laugh almost everytime he does it. Most of the time he does it when I'm wearing my non-maternity pants that are too tight around my tummy... and then I just reassure him that I'm uncomfortable too.
I've still got the low lying placenta- but I'm not worried about it... my doctor is fairly confident it will move by the time March rolls around. If it doesn't, it means c-section... which isn't great news, but it doesn't concern me.
Baby still doesn't have a name... I wish we could say it's narrowed down to Asher and Max- but somehow we've got more names now than ever, LOL... and I think I'm mostly to blame- ok, I'm all to blame. Here's what we've got so far- and we are VERY open to suggestions:
Asher - I'm still having a hard time saying it... I know everyone loves it, but it still hasn't "clicked"
Max - though Max, unfortunately, is slowly fading off my list because I feel like it sounds like the family dog when you pair it with all our names... Damien, Amanda, Deacon & Max
Cole - probably one of my favorites right now... Damien isn't as convinced quite yet. His full name would be Arthur Cole Eversmann- so his initials would be ACE- which is a cool nickname too. He would not be called Arthur, but Arthur Cole flows much better than Cole Arthur.
Jacob - I know it's super super popular, but I really like it... as does everyone else I guess.
Levi - Cate suggested this one and I really like it... just not 100% sold.
Eli - a favorite of my mother & father in law... cute, but Eli Arthur Eversmann?- does it really work?
Xavier - though Xavier Arthur Eversmann sounds funky to me... and I *hate* that it's a name that will be mispronounced... it's pronounced Zavier, not Ex-Zavier (you don't say ex-zylophone do you?). Can you tell this is something we hate? LOL.
(edited to add) Cooper - I forgot about this one... I like this one, as does Damien, but we think Cooper Arthur Eversmann might be a mouthful.
PLEASE HELP US!!!

Hi there :)
I just came upon your blog today. Congratulations on the pregnancy. Our family was just blessed with a new baby girl (my niece). All of your name choices are very nice. It is stressful trying to make the right choice, isn't it. Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and say hello and have a blessed day!

Take these pictures Amanda...you've only got this belly for 9 months of your life...so enjoy it!
BTW:What a CUTE family header picture of you and your 2 men at the pumpkin patch!
First of all - LOVE the belly shot! You look fab. Second of all, I love the name Cole! They are all great names, though. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. :)
