Yay! Happy Anniversary to us! Today was our 3 year anniversary! We had a great day. Usually, Daniel takes the whole week off and we do fun stuff together all week. For our first, we went to Galveston/Houston, Texas and did a ton of things. Second year, I was about 4 months pregnant and still suffering through the morning/all day sickness at the time, so we really didn't do too much. Just lots of eating out, dinner theatres, and the zoo! This year, Daniel still took the whole week off but we are both so busy with preparations for the wedding I'm coordinating that we didnt plan too much. The wedding is this Friday and since Daniel is doing all of the sound work and music, and I'm running around finishing up last minute details, we decided that today would be the day we made the most of our anniversary. We still plan to do small activities together tomorrow and most of Thursday. Today Daniel made breakfast for us. Then I rented a few movies and we enjoyed those and... ahem...quite a bit of lovin.' (whew!). Then we both got gussied up and went to dinner at one of the fanciest (and most expensive) restaurants in the city. We are now back at home getting ready to watch another movie! Aaaaaah yes, great day.
I had a bit of an emotional break down at the restaurant. I ordered an Italian dish and something about the smell made me want to vomit. The waitress took it back and replaced it with Chicken Alfredo. We had to pay a small portion of the first entree plus the Alfredo. I was very upset because I felt like my night had been ruined! I burst out crying! But, Daniel calmed me down by getting me to talk about the babies nursery lol. Then I cheered right on up when the complimentary dessert came! And since it was our anniversary, they took a digital picture of us and put it in a very nice frame! All in all, great day!
This child of mine is getting so big! I'm starting to feel very heavy and uncomfortable. I have also began to feel more braxton-hicks contractions. Of course, they aren't painful at all. But, this little bigger is definitely growing a lot. He seems to gravitate towards my right side for some reason lol. In the mornings he squirm around a whole lot. I love following him around with my hand. I just lay there and talk to him and play with him before I get out of bed. I love him already and I can't wait to meet him! Well, we are gonna start this movie, so till next week!

Busy week!
21 weeks 6 days
Tomorrow will be the start of 22 weeks for me, so even though there isn't a whole lot to write about, I figured I'd jot down a few sentences for this past week.
This past week seemed to fly by! I am the wedding coordinator for a friends wedding. She and her soon to be husband also attend the same church as us. The wedding is next week so there is a lot left to get done. She moved into their new apartment this weekend. She will be there while he will continue to stay with his mom till the wedding. It's right around the corner from Daniel and I so we are extremely excited! We live pretty far away from almost all of our close family and friends, so we're happy to have a couple close to us. So that was part of the weekend, the next part was my sister in laws sons birthday party. We are the only ones that have a house with a big enough backyard, so since it was a pool party, we hosted! It was pretty uneventful as far as catastrophe goes lol. I mean, it was eight 4 and 5 year olds in a small pool, so yes there were a few small episodes to handle but nothing too serious lol. It was a lot of fun!
The little growth in my stomach is getting stronger! His kicks and punches are a lot more noticeable. Now I can look down and see my stomach jump when he moves. It's very exciting! I am waiting to see if he will jump on a consistent schedule like Jarrett did. He is still nameless lol. I have found a few more names that I like, but am nervous to tell Daniel for fear of rejection lol. Guess I will have to get over that soon. Well, that's pretty much it for now. Till next time!

Finally!
20 weeks 6 days
Belly: 38"
I finally figured out a way to blog from my phone! I'm so excited lol. I had no idea that I could send emails to my blog!
Well, nothing really exciting has happened in the past couple weeks. Wait, yes there is. So I had been waiting to feel the baby on with my hand so that Daniel could experience the squirming of our baby boy also. Well, I finally felt it! At 20 weeks 1 day, as he was moving around, I pressed on my stomach and he kicked/punched my hand! I was so excited! And Daniel finally felt him a couple days later. He was pretty happy and couldn't stop grinning lol. The baby is still nameless at the moment. Daniel likes the idea of naming him Daniel Jarrett Brown III and calling him Trey. I think its cute but for some reason I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea. I think maybe its sort of like I don't want it to feel like we took Jarrett's name or something. I'm really not sure yet about why I'm not sold on the idea. I feel like this name thing is as hard as I thought it would be:-(. We still have time so I'm not going to rush things.
I had a doctors appointment last week and the baby is doing good! His heartbeat was 160. I have gained six pounds since my last appointment and now weigh 144lbs. As you can see, at the top of the blog entry, I put how big my belly is. I am going to try chart my belly growth in the next few months.
Well, that's about it for now! Thanks for reading! :)

Its A....!!!!!!!!!!
19 weeks 1 day
First off, let me say it is not my fault that I havent updated yet. My computer is not working at all or let me say, my internet isnt working lol. I am over at my friends house so I am finally able to update.
Ok, so moving on...
The day of the ultrasound comes!!! I am nervously excited as I bustle around the house getting ready to head out. My friend comes and gets me and we head up to the hospital. We were going to meet Daniel there, since he couldnt take off work that day. My friend and I talk excitedly about the possibility of having a girl and about all the cute girlie things we could dress her up in. We make our way up to the hospital and meet Daniel. We were running a tad bit late so we hurridly rushed up to the floor where my doctor's office was. I walked in and signed in. I greeted the lady behind the desk and told her I had an ultrasound. "You know Dr. B isnt here today, right?", she asked. I told her yes I did, but that I didnt necessarily need to see her today because I have an appointmemt already set up with her. Well, apparently, there is this a problem with that. I waited about 45 minutes and finally the ultrasound tech called me back. I had previously said to Daniel that I hoped she wasnt working today because she is always so rude. Well, no such luck lol. The first thing she says to me when we got into the room was, "You know that we shoulnt be seeing you today right? Since your doctor isnt here, I really shouldnt even be doing this for you today because we arent allowed to discuss results with you. Thats your doctors job. I dont know who went ahead and scheduled you, but, you really shouldnt be here. But since you are here, we will just go ahead and do it." Im like, first of all...is all of that necessary???????? I didnt, say all that I wanted to say to her, because I refused to let her ruin my day! I just said, "Well, I have an appointment with her July 6th, so we can just discuss results then"
Anywaaaaaays, she proceeds with the ultrasound. When I see my baby for the first time, I immeditately smiled, and because I knew without her even telling me that the baby was measuring perfect this time. With Jarretts ultrasounds, you could tell that his chest was extremely small, along with his legs and arms being short. This time, I could see that this baby had long arms and legs and the chest was the correctly sized. She asked us if we wanted to know the gender. Of course, we immediatly replied, "Yes!!' she scrolled to the southern region of our little miracle baby and I saw that it was...
A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I admit that I was pretty disappointed for a few hours after the ultrasound. I actually cried. Because, I thought that surely I cant be having another boy! I cant handle it emotionally! My mind was flooded with question after question. What am I going to name him? How am I going to deal with using the stuff meant for Jarrett for him? What if I dont love him as much as Jarrett? OH NO, this means I have to get pregnant AGAIN to have my little girl! But, after a while I began to focus on the words of the the tech: "He is measuring great and look perfect!" For someone who kept hearing dreadful words during all but one of my ultrasounds with Jarrett, hearing these words brought on a new feeling. I felt immense relief at the thought that I am carrying a baby that doesnt have problems! It was such a wonderful feeling to hear good news! I told a few people that I was disappointed about not having a girl, and they encouraged me. I am having a healthy baby boy! We also dont have to really worry about anything because we have everything we need! Jarrett was a little angel who prepared us for everything that we would need for his brother! I am very happy! Now...unto the names...:) :) :0!!!!!!!!
