Update

Oh Bean, Mama loves you so much, but the damage you're doing to my body is unacceptable. I mean, lowering my immune system during midterms? Not cool. Yep, I'm sick...I keep wondering if that darned flu shot would have prevented this (it's in the beginning stages, so I'm not sure if it's the flu or a cold).

So, I stepped on the scale and I've lost more weight; awesome right? No. I am getting big and my clothes are fitting differently. I was hoping my belly would just kinda stay as-is until it popped out. I don't really get how the scale is going down, when I am getting bigger, but at least it gives me a little more room to grow on the scale in my later months.

Last week, instead of writing the paper I'm currently taking a break from, I moved 50% of our office into our cat's bedroom. Yes, our cats have a bedroom. After moving our recliner, bookshelf, and movie/cd spinning thing into the room, I carried about 20 engineering textbooks into the room, reorganized the existing furniture, and set everything up (Michael got all mother hen on my ass, by the way. He says I need to take it easy - why?- and let him move the big stuff). I hate to brag, but it looks fucking awesome! The office is still kinda in the funky/half empty state I left it in, but I'll have more time to get it ready for Bean during the winter holiday away from school. I like sitting in this room, imaging where I'm going to stick everything, and how I'm going to decorate. The previous owners must not have used this room for much, because the carpet looks awesome and there are no little holes in the wall I have to patch. We're really lucky.

It's so crazy to think about classes ending in 3 weeks! I can't wait for this break; I really need it. Also, we get to see the baby on the 28th in a regular ultrasound, and then on the 11th of December for the creepy 3D ultrasound to determine the sex. How cool?! We will be able to call the baby something other than "it" or Bean in about a month! Have I mentioned baby name ideas on here? Well, shit! For a little girl, we love the name Michelle (or Misha for a nickname), and for a boy we are struggling between Sam and Michael. I have been in love with the name Sam for a long time, but we both adore the name Michael (shoot, my husband is Michael and so it his dad - family names, gotta love 'em). We'll probably decide once we know the sex for sure. In the mean time we're debating the whole Michael K Bergman III thing, or going with a different middle name, or going with Sam. Aye yi yi. Naming people, it's something you have to live with forever! Very stressful.

Uh oh! Hubby is coming and I promised I'd be working on that damn paper! Lol!
