Eating for Two...

So, as we mentioned during our last posting, we are expecting a girl on October 27th. We found out a couple of weeks ago (around father's day) but we have just been to lazy to blog it out. We are soooo excited...although this will have to change our list of baby names. I still think that Shaquille would be a good girl's name if it weren't for the 7 foot black dude that is currently holding the title. Allison disagrees, and I can see her point- I don't want my baby to be confused with a 325 pound NBA center.

As you can see, Alli is doing really well. She has gained about 15 pounds, although she's kinda small, so she's showing through already. She was kind enough to pause her Xbox session long enough for me to take a picture of her. Last Sunday, I was able to feel the baby kick for the first time. It was a very strange experience- it has really made the whole pregnancy feel closer to home, since that was the first time that I have had any interaction with BTBNL. In church last Sunday, Alli grabbed my arm suddenly and put it on her belly during sacrament meeting. BTBNL was kicking so ferociously that I thought her leg was going to poke through Alli's belly button.

Anyway, Alli had a doctor appointment today and everything continues to progress smoothly. As soon as something neat happens, we'll make sure to throw another post on here. And I was joking about Shaquille. :)
