What's in a Name?

I just thought I would update and share why we are picking the name Jace for our son. My mom came to me a few years ago with this name and thought it was perfect for us. We loved it from the minute she shared it! I also love this name because it is not popular and I wanted to give him a name that was special and had meaning to the both of us. My nickname is Stace and the "J" is of course for Jeremy. Jace' middle name will be Lee after Jeremy and it is also Jeremy's Father's middle name.

Belly Changes!

Recently, I have been feeling Jace a lot more even when he is not even kicking me (it is more like his presence inside me). One night I woke up and sat straight up because I felt a painful pregnancy cramp in my leg and when I did I thought one of my dogs had jabbed their feet into my stomach because they were laying to close. When I looked around to move one of our dogs they were both sleeping no where near me in bed. I then realized it was Baby Jace! It felt like he was sticking his feet straight out almost like he was falling or going down a slide in my stomach. It has happened a few times since then too. I think I even felt his head bounce against my stomach when I sat up quickly one morning. It is a very cool and beautiful feeling to experience!

Tonight, I saw something truly amazing! I was standing in my bathroom mirror getting ready to take a bath and I noticed either his foot or hand prints on my belly when I took my shirt off. It took me a moment to realize what was on my stomach and when I did they disappeared right then. I was so excited I immediately grabbed the phone to call Jeremy. It definitely made my night! :)

I think he is praying or hiding lol?

Making a face! But, I think he is smiling/giggling!!

His Profile!

We finally were able to get two pics of Baby Jace' face without his hands or feet in the way this past Monday. Sorry they are a little blurry it is from the glossy paper they were printed out on. He now weighs 2lbs 12oz and all of his measurements are right on track. We go back around 34 weeks for one last ultrasound and I am hoping maybe he will let us see his face again.

Busy Week Update!

I had last week off and it was very relaxing. This week is definitely going to be anything, but that! I guess I better get used to it when little man arrives lol!! Tonight, we are meeting with his pediatrician, tomorrow night we start our birthing class series at Florida Hospital, Thursday afternoon I have my regular doctors visit and glucose test, and Friday is my work Christmas Party. This Monday I also go back to my high risk for another ultrasound. Hopefully Jace will cooperate this visit and let us see him a little more, but if not I guess I will be even more surprised when he arrives!
