i am not sick anymore.... but still blowing my nose very often. that is my only symptom. i mentioned to my midwife that i have been sick twice this pregnancy and never in my past pregnancies and she said this year has been so bad regarding viruses. so much stuff going  around that she wasnt surprised. and it does seem like everyone is sick all the time this year!

in regards to my belly size... it is just how it should be for how far along i am, so for everyone who thinks i am tiny, now you know i am not. and i have definitely felt the baby move a lot! everyday all throughout the day. i love it! he/she is only about 4 inches from their butt to the top of the head...and barely weighs anything, but so much of it is formed and in position, it really is amazing. i have this great pregnancy journal i have kept for each pregnancy. it describes what is going on everyday and tips and advice for being pregnant. thanks to gil and kirstin, it has been so great!

we will be finding out the gender april 17th. i had a midwife appointment this last week and we scheduled it then. justin and i havent done too much thinking about names yet, we want to wait till we know the gender before we waste too much time on it, or get attatched to one idea or another. we both are fine with a boy or a girl.... there are just as many pros and cons to having either one as a third, so whatever it is we will be thrilled! and we will happily share our ideas for names in the near future.
