So we have been set on naming our baby boy Aedyn for about 5 weeks or so? Probably longer.
But we are still yet to agree on a middle name for him.
Aedyn was a good mix of mine and Jakes taste.
He likes more traditional names and I like more young and cool names.
So we have not found another name like that yet...
I really like Wyatt, Bentlee, Chance, & Maddox.
Bentlee is deffinately my favorite.
But Jake said he did like the name Chance but he didnt think it was right for his name.
So another no!
The only options Jake has brought up for a middle name are Reid and actually I think thats it.
I want to love his name! and I definately dont love Reid.
I havent come up with any more names that I like. I just keep trying to convince him to go with Bentlee.
He isn't coming up with anymore names either.
I dont know how he will get a middle name! I dont want it to get to the end and Jake be like o well, we didnt come up with a name, lets just name him after me.
Because that is what he wanted in the beginning, to have a JR.
& the scary thing is that if Rylee has been a boy I would have named the baby Jacob Jr.
I just dont like the idea of having 2 people the same name. I dont like the tradition of naming your baby after people.
Obviously everyone will know that he is his baby.
And I dont really want to budge on this because when I was pregnant with Rylee I really really wanted her to be named Khloe.
But he wouldnt have it. It meant more to me than I think he understood.
So I dont want to give in on his name if he isnt willing to do that for me.
I am just so ready to have his name complete...
Aedyn ....... Foraker :/
I made the shirts I have been wanting to make since I found out I was pregnant.
One says Big sister Rylee
And the other says little brother Aedyn.
Theyre cute. It'll be good for pictures and keepsakes.
But I still have more shirts and letters and I want to make a shirt that says his first and middle name! So I am just waiting and looking for cool ideas!

Shopping!
I have been waiting for a couple of months to finally get to go shopping for Aedyn!
We got paid some extra money for staying with my Granny in the hospital.
So it really made me feel like it was ok to go spend some money.
But I really felt alot of anxiety about it weirdly.
I was really worried about spending so much money at one time even though I knew we were ok on money.
I had planned on buying him this 10 piece crib set for $70 on ebay, but when I got to the store I saw alot of blue & brown (my theme).
And I saw that I could buy everything seperately - like the bumper and sheet and everything to mix and match.
So I decided to do that. It was a little bit cheaper but I didn't get as much stuff so I didn't know what to do at first.
Jake was just trying to stay out of it and not help me make a decision because this was more for me than for him because I love to shop.
I got him a baby book and 2 pairs of little shoes, 2 Pajamas, -(I really tried to stay away from clothes becauase I THINK my mom will help me out with clothes.
And I already have some for him that I have bought from yard sales and consignment sales.
I also got him recieving blankets, passies, bibs, and i think thats it?
I don't know, it didn' seem like I got very much for my money, but I still had some left over out of the budget I made for this trip.
So it was over all a good trip, now I'm really excited to make his bed up and see it all come together.
I love my little boy :]

23 Week ultrasound.
I am really happy to be having a boy.
After the ultrasound technician told us that she thought it was a boy but she wasnt for sure, we started buying boy clothes and telling everyone it was a boy, especially Jake.
He thought it would be a girl too just like everyone else did.
We are almost set on the name Aedyn, but anything can change.
We have already taught Rylee to say Aedyn and that is what she calls my belly now.
Now if we could just come up with a good middle name that we both like.
It is so hard for me and Jake to agree on names!
I like Aedyn Wyatt or Aedyn Maddux, Jake likes Aedyn Tyler.
I just cant believe I saved all of Rylees baby clothes for this baby. And now I have to start over again.
It will be really hard for me to sell the clothes.
Really we are very much prepared for this baby already, we have all the big stuff, we just need more clothes and diapers.
We are going shopping for him soon hopefully!
I feel him kick almost all the time now, he is just as active as Rylee was.
I am really not having much pregnant symptoms still.
I have the "pregnant pees" thats about it. lol
I have stopped losing weight unfortunately and gained back what I lost and then some :[
Im really hoping and praying that I can breast feed the weight off this time!
ahhhh
only 16 weeks to go!
I love my Little girl & my Little boy!

Ultrasound at 19 weeks
I had my 19 week ultrasound about 2 weeks ago.
When I got to the doctors office they told me that I wasn't down for an ultrasound.
I was so upset immediately because Jake took off work early to make it to the appointment.
And it was the end of the day and the ultrasound technician was booked for the day.
They told me they would SEE if they could fit me in.
They did thank God.
I would have been so disappointed if they hadn't.
So we go in and the ultrasound technician is looking at the baby for about 5 minutes and I can't even see the screen.
Rylee was freaking out the whole time wanting me, I think she also thought I was getting hurt.
It was cute, but it was ruining the occassion a little bit.
Her daddy calmed her down by the time I got to see the baby.
The woman kept referring to the baby as a she and "her hands" and stuff like that.
So the first thing Jake said was, You know the sex of the baby don't you?
And she said , well the baby is at a bad angle and I can't see anything so I'm assuming it's a girl.
And as she was showing us the babys legs and trying to see the private area she said she thought she saw a boy part.
The woman said that she never gets it wrong because she doesn't guess.
But she said she was leaning towards it being a boy.
So Jake totally has his hopes up, I hope that it is a boy for that reason.
He has started to tell everyone that he's having a boy,
He is really excited, but we aren't going to go shopping until we know for sure what the baby is.
We go back for another ultrasound when I'm 23 weeks.
Lets hope the baby is at a better angle.
I feel like its a boy though, because I haven't had any morning sickness, and I haven't had any weight gain.
So we will seee..
ALSO... on the day I had my ultrasound I felt some of the biggest kicks yet,
When dr. Patel was listening to the heart beat he kicked the dopler machine really hard.
And that night was the first night Jake felt the baby kick for the 1st time :]
It makes me so happy when he feels the baby kick.
He can feel him kick alot more now because he's getting bigger and stronger!

Kick, Kick
Well, I started feeling little flutters at about 15 weeks and I thought this has to be too soon to feel the baby move.
I was still unsure.
Now at 18 weeks I am feeling the baby move almost all throughout the day.
Its exciting and unexpected because I didn't feel Rylee move until 20 weeks.
But they say you feel it sooner with your second because you know what you're looking for.
But I love feeling the baby move, it reassures me everyday that the baby is healthy.
I find out in one week what the sex of the baby is and I cannot wait!

Heard the baby's heart beat!
Well, I was supposed to hear the baby's heart beat at my last visit (11 weeks).
But when Dr. Patel tried to find it, she couldn't, which completely freaked me out.
Because I had already had thoughts earlier on in the pregnancy that something was going to be wrong. And I was not at the 12 week mark where miscarriage rate goes down.
But she brought in the ultrasound machine and I got to get a quick view of the baby.
She saw that the baby's heart was very healthy and pretty much instantly turned the monitor off. Jake got to see the whole ultrasound. But I did not because Dr. Patel was blocking my view.
But at this visit, she came in and right away listened to the heart beat and it was healthy, 177 BPMs.
So I am definately not worrying as much as before. I am sure that the baby is going to be perfect.
I also asked the Doctor about being a vegetarian and my protein intake.
I have gotten a protein supplement, but it was a shake and I really didn't like it so I asked her if there were any pills I could take?
And she said no, And at this point I was really worried that I was damaging the baby or something by not eating enough protein.
But the doctor assured me that the only thing that could go wrong was that the baby would be a little smaller.
So I was very relieved, I am enjoying this pregnancy alot more since all my worries have been relieved.
And on top of that, every time I have been to the doctor, I lost weight,
The second time I went I lost 3 lbs. And this time I had lost another lb.
I really don't know how though. I have not really been eating better or working out. And I have no morning sickness so it's not like I'm throwing up and thats causing me to lose weight.
So I'm happy.

Today was a big day...
I have known that I was pregnant for a couple of weeks now...
And I have been having this bad feeling. Like the baby wouldn't make it or something was going to go wrong.
& Then on top of that I got flu symptoms, & that scared me, I thought my sickness was going to hurt the baby in some way. Like I really thought I was right.
I was still a little sick today when i went to my doctor's this morning.
But I wasn't really worried that much anymore, so i didn't even bring it up.
It was my 1st pregnancy visit in a while, I had to get blood drawn, & a papsmere :[ ugh ew.
And then Dr. Patel said, well I will go see if you can get an ultrasound today, & I got one!
I was really surprised because with my 1st pregnancy she had to schedule me ahead of time for an ultrasound.
So I am 7 weeks & 1 day.
Due date of February 8th, 2010 - which happens to be the day before mine & jake's 3 year anniversary.
I really wanted Rylee to be in the room to see her little brother or sister, but she was in a bad mood so she went to the waiting room where Uncle Austin was.
And before we started the ultrasound I asked the technician if it was going to look like a baby & she said they start looking like a baby at 10 weeks.
!
Which was when I got my 1st one with Rylee & she was kicking and moving and looked like a really small baby.
But she told me not to expect that this time.
& She was right. The baby didn't move at all.
I kinda wish I could've waited the 3 weeks.
But it's ok because I got to see our baby :]
He or she is 9 milimeters long. & is growing at exactly the rate that it should be.
I could see the heart beat perfectly but we couldn't hear it or time it because it's so early.
Getting the ultrasound made it seem alot more real.
And made me feel alot better about the pregnancy, I don't fear so much that i will lose it after this.
I hope & pray that everything is great for our baby.
I do need to be careful of what i eat now that i am a pregnant vegetarian.
I have to make sure that the baby gets enough protein.
Which won't be hard, i just have to think more about what i eat.
Speaking of food...
I can't hardly stand it, even when I'm really hungry, certain foods that I would normally eat sound like disgusting.
I have lost my appetite almost completely.
Morning sickness hasn't necessarily started yet.
The other day i was gagging for a while but I hadn't eaten so i ofcourse didn't throw up
I do think that this pregnancy will be harder than the 1st because of all the symptoms I am already having.
I am very grateful that I have been given 2 beautiful, healthy babies & i will never take them for granted :]
