Apologies

for the scant postage, things have been piling up on me and it's really kinda stressful right now. Most of them are related to graduation though so if I can survive the next week or so I can finally sit down and take a breather. Good news- I made it into the second trimester! Went to the doctor at 12w6d and the heartbeat was still strong. I am 14 weeks today and am starting to get my energy back, and I think I'm starting to get a tiny belly, though I still fit in my normal clothes.

Went to my Phi Alpha Theta initiation Saturday with Mike. It was kinda weird since everybody already knew each other, and the only people I knew were my professors. Poor Mike felt even more awkward because he was the only non-academic there. We still had a good time, though, and the only part that irritated me was the fact that it was supposed to be a potluck dinner and everybody brought pasta salads!! I tried some but was still starving when we got home.

Speaking of food... newest craving: spaghetti. Got some at Target that turned out to be really thick and OH SO GOOD. Have been eating it every day now, but we've run out of parmesan cheese :(

I promise to write more after graduation.

Names

I think we've finally found "the name": Elliot. For some reason when I first considered it I was on the fence, but then I thought about it again the other day and decided I really liked it. I pitched it to Mike and he liked it too. I really think this is the one because it fits all our criteria:

  • It's cute (at least to me)
  • It won't be embarrassing as an adult
  • Most importantly, both of us like it
So... yea. Our girl name is more untraditional, so we won't be revealing it until we know it will be a girl.
