Crazy feelings

So I'm laying in bed...as I often am being on bed rest, and my stomach is visibly moving....and I mean A LOT. He's doing summersaults, commando rolls and 40-yard punts in there, I swear it. Chris felt him move for the first time last week and gave me this look like "ok, that was insane" but the words that came out were "aw that's not so bad". I never said it was painful (yet, I'm sure as he gets bigger it'll get there) I just said it was noticeable. It actually makes me giggle when I notice my stomach moving cause I get giddy knowing he's in there getting bigger and stronger and that I'm doing everything I can to give him a good place to do so.

Less than 100 days now.....98 days from today is the due date in fact. I remember when I first set up the baby due date ticker and thought 248 days sounded like forever far away. And now it's less than 100. That time is going to pass by so quickly. Good thing Kassie is finally going to come over and start helping to get the nursery ready tomorrow cause I really need the help seeing as how I can't lift or move anything or bend and stuff.

I'm still trying to give Chris' choice of baby name (Elwood) a chance, but I think the problem comes down to the fact I'm in love with the name Jake. Not only have there been good literary and movie references for the name (think Jake Ryan - hunk in Sixteen Candles, John Cusak's role in Must Love Dogs is a Jake, not to mention he's also a Blues Brother, if that's the idea Chris is looking for, etc...) but a couple of years ago when Rocco got Angie a rescue dog and she named him Jake, I went off the handle cause how could my first son possibly share his name with their dog??? Unfortunately for Angie (and fortunately for my selfish reasons) the dog situation didn't work out and they returned him to the shelter....I thought for sure that was the sign my first son really should be named Jake and perhaps I've just thought that ever since.....it's so hard to let go of something you really have had this perfection feeling over for so long. Truth be told, this is a name Chris came up with years ago and I just sort of assumed we agreed upon using it, so I just imagined that's what it would be...till the curveball...he's good at those sometimes!!!
