17-1-2010 - 19w3d - Update && Pregnancy Survey

My mood while writing this blog: Exhausted && Hot

Hey everyone, just felt like doing one of these again - its a hot one here today; the weather people say it's gonna hit 41 degrees celcius here today (105.8 farenheit), but I'm pretty sure it's already hit that and gone over. Michael and I enjoyed a weekend away this past weekend - for those of you who know Western Australia, we spent the weekend in Mandurah, and it was lovely. I'm loving this little girl more and more every day, and I love when I press my hand on my belly when she's moving, and I can feel it with my hand. I can't wait til she's big enough for me to feel more of her movements, and so Michael can feel them too cos he really wants to feel her move.Before we found out we are having a girl, we'd agreed on Ashlee Jayde for a girl, but I'm really liking Kaylee better as a first name, but because Michael's never heard it before he doesn't wanna call her that - I think it's a beautiful name, and my only reason for not wanting to name her Ashlee is that it's too common, regardless of the spelling. I'm thinking Kaylee Marie or Kaylee Jayde would be better suited to our princess than Ashlee Jayde, just because it's not as common - at least Kaylee isn't common here in Australia anyways. What do you all think? Anyway, here's an updated pregnancy survey.
