Going into week 15!!!

Cant believe we are already into our 4 month.  There isn't too much exciting going on right now.  I am just barely showing and can feel my uterus nice and solid in there!  It still isn't quite real when we are going about our every day and the 1st trimester symptoms are gone and we dont see the baby again till October....but, we are still so excited.

One thing I keep reading about early pregnancy is that your immune system basically stops working for Mommy and turns all of its strength and engery on Baby.  Which, I am so thankful for....but for the past 5 days I have been battling Bronchitis and Strep Throat.  NOT TOO FUN.  My whole body hurts from coughing and sneezing and I haven't slept in 3 nights!  Obviously it scared us when the doctor wanted to put me on some meds, but he reassured me with lots of literature and knowledge that the meds were rated an A on the pregnancy medication list!  It is NO fun not having any meds in you when you cant breathe or sleep!  Makes for a not too fun Mommy! 

Going into month 4 we are supposed to feel great and have a lot more enegery.  In 5 weeks we will find out what sex the baby is. We are so excited about finding out!  We have been making bets but will be so so greatful for whatever it turns out to be!  I will start to feel the baby in about 2 weeks.  I think I felt it once already, but its very very hard to tell! 

This trimester we are going to start working on the house.  Lots of little projects to complete before baby comes!  Once we know the sex we are going to start the nursery.  We already have a few options picked out for how we want to decorate!

Ryan is aboslutely adorable with this whole thing.  He is working extra hard to provide for us and is so concerned and compassionate about me and the baby!  He cant wait to "see" my belly and "feel" the baby, then it will be more real to him! 

We have our list of names on the fridge like my sister Rebecca had.  We have pretty much decided on a girls name, but aren't even close on a boy!!!  Suggestions welcome! 

No new ultrasound pictures for another 5 weeks, but when we do get them you will really see a "baby" instead of a blob!  We cant wait for that appointment!

Thats news on the Myrick Baby!  Thanks for continued love and support, we cant wait for you to meet it!
