It almost feels like time is passing without my knowledge. How did I get to 21 weeks already? Things feel so emotionally different this time. I feel kind of detached or something. I feel so busy with every day life that I don't have the time to enjoy being pregnant, but that has me wondering, what did I "enjoy" so much last time.
I've started freaking out about picking a name, I have this feeling I will bond better if I have something to call her other than Baby Girl. Problem is I don't know if I like any of the names. I went through the entire girls name list on babynames.com and came up with a list of about 30 names to consider. I've narrowed it down to 15 or so and I think I have a top 5 out of that, but not a one of them has a middle name and my brain feels like mush trying to think of one.
Then this week it hit me. I have 19 weeks, if I make it to 40 weeks this time. Since I work full time that pretty much leaves me 19 weekends, which is 38 days to prepare my house for this baby girl. Considering I have a trip the weekend of Nov 11th, family visiting Nov 10th and 26th weekends and pretty much every weekend in Dec busy due to Holidays, I'm down to only 11 weekends and when you subtract 3 more so every thing is ready by 37 weeks, just in case, I'm down to 8 weekend, that's 16 days!!! Granted I try and sneak things in here and there, but some of the work will be a whole weekend project, like cleaning my craft and other stuff out of her room and painting and such. So I finally started looking at bedding this week and realized that I have no idea what I want!
But besides this stress I'm going through now in an effort to not have anxiety later, everything seems to be going well. Here are some new ultrasound pictures that I got last week when we went back to get her heart and profile views.

Aw, I love your ultrasound pictures! :) The profile pictures are so cute! I hope you can find a way to de-stress yourself! I am sure you will get everything done in time! :) Good luck!
