There is definitely a baby in there...

Ugh... I just spent 20 minutes writing this post and it got deleted some how. Anyway, the idea of the post was to talk about how active this little boy is. I wonder if it's because he takes after his daddy. If you know Allen, you know I can't slow him down. I'm sure baby Maeker will be just like that. I should take this time to relax, huh? I have really been feeling great. Aside from the morning (I mean all day) sickness in the beginning, this whole pregnancy thing has been amazing. I love feeling this little squirmer in my stomach. I love that I can talk to him and he will move around. I am already sad to think about the day when I won't be pregnant... but then again, I will have a beautiful little boy to hold in my arms. Oh, we also bought him his first present (from us). We have just purchased property out in the suburbs so little baby Maeker has a big yard to run around in one of these days. That's exciting... and a little scary considering the difficult financial times we are in! I have my next doctors appointement in about a week and I will take my glucose? test. I'll be 25.5 weeks by then and can't wait to hear that little heart beating...

Names...

Picking a name is difficult! I love the name Ethan, but is it too popular? My mom thinks Ethan Allen sounds so nice and has a ring to it... I wonder why? There are so many things to consider when picking a baby name. Am I putting too much thought into it? Am I putting enough thought into it? At least we have plenty of time to think about all of the alternatives. How do people who are waiting to find out the gender do this for both sexes? I am so thankful we found out it was a boy. And I'm so excited he is a boy. I think this is an excellent start to The Maeker Family. Little Baby Ethan Maeker... what do you think?
