starting to get excited!

I'm really, really starting to get excited now! So many things are going so well that it's hard not to, I am growing more every day, though I know that most other people can't tell, when I look in the mirror, or when AJ looks at me we both see the difference. I'm probably going to start buying maternity tops so I can have shirts long enough to cover my growing belly. And I know I need new pants since these are getting too tight. (I just bought these a few months ago and they are MATERNITY!!) I need some that pull up over the belly instead of sitting underneath it. My fetal doppler works like a charm and I can find the baby's heartbeat almost instantly now, it is so fast and sweet sounding. Sometimes I just love to sit and listen to it. :-) I also think I am feeling movement. I know that people say I'm crazy that I'm only 12 weeks and it's too early, that's it's probably gas, but I swear this is something else. I have never felt this before, it's almost like a muscle twitch a little bump feeling from the inside. And I get this wierd feeling with them. This just started happening the last two days... I swear I'm feeling this baby.

I went to see my coworker after work yesterday, he just had his first baby on the 11th. She was so sweet and tiny and suprisingly alert for only four days old. I got to hold her and cuddle with her and I'm sitting there in awe of the fact that I am going to have one of these tiny things one day. And to see Anthony with her and how he is completely head over heels in love with that baby girl, I am excited to see that same look in AJ's eyes when we get to hold our little one.

I also am starting to think it is a girl. Honestly it started with the name dilemma (which we still haven't solved.) Once we threw out our name for a girl and started from scratch, well it just feels like we're going to have a girl since we're having a hard time picking a name now. Plus I just have this feeling like it's a girl. I'll be excited to find out if my intuitions are right in March, though they have been right every time so far!

As far as the name goes we are in-between two names right now. I like Mackayla (AJ likes this spelling better then the one I had chosen.) Jane. But AJ like Gabriella Jane more. If we go with Mackayla AJ said he will call her Mac, lol. If we go with Gabriella we will call her Ella for short. My fear of Gabriella is the nickname Gabby, I HATE that nickname, it sounds ugly to me, and I'm worried people will automatically try to call her that. So we are stuck right now. We tossed Emily after finding out that Emily was the top 10 name in 2009 and after being one out of 5 Ashley's on my softball team in high school, well I don't want our little one to go through that. So we're still deciding. We are sticking with Jane for the middle name, now we just need a first name to go with it. Let me know if you have suggestions!
