I have finally hit the single digits until my due date! We have 9 weeks left! I haven't been as faithful in remembering how far along I am with this pregnancy as with the other two, but now I'm counting down! Here's the update on how things are going:
  • I am feeling really great! Energy up and nesting has begun! (Which my house needed so very badly!)


  • I am measuring just two weeks big, down from four.


  • I stick out so much more than I ever did with the girls.


  • I've gained...well, let's just not go there!


  • My doctor said she would induce if I'm measuring at a 3 or 4 at 39-40 weeks! (This I've been worried about. She is known to have you wait a week or two (My poor friend Laurel!) after your due date and I have yet to go into labor naturally, even at a 4 or 5.)


  • We have not decided on a name yet and I don't have much hope in that area until he is actually born. I thought boy names would be easier, but we are struggling to even come up with names to go on our list. We have only two picked out so far; Tyler (Ty) or Ryan. What do you think?

I have always assumed that your first son would be named Tyler, so it's really going to mess me up if you go with something else. ;) Or, Jacob Jacobsen would be pretty cool. (Just kidding...I always planned on using Jacob if I had a boy, knowing that none of my SILs would want it!) I am glad that you are feeling "peppier." The end is in sight!

I like Tyler as well. Ryan is my brothers name so I always like names where I don't personally know someone with it already. Ryan is a good name as well, but that is the only reason why I would pick Tyler.

Cool #9 picture! Reminds me of sesame street for some reason?!?! Wow! You're almost there...

Kate said...

WOW! That was fast! Didn't I just read a blog announcing you were pregnant???!! Maybe you don't agree that it was as fast, but nonetheless, glad you are so close and feeling good. I like either name.

emily said...

tyler is my vote if that counts....

emily said...

or ryan... or boo... or carter... or becker.... yep- still bad at deciding on names!!

Laura said...

Another vote for Tyler. I even talked to Brian about that name, although I wouldn't go with Ty. Glad you've got the energy, because I don't (although you're younger than I am)! I am so ready to be done being pregnant! I feel alot bigger with this one than either of my other two, but I'm measuring normal. I think it's those extra pounds I had when I got pregnant. Six weeks and counting! ;-)

Selena said...

Wow, 9 weeks left! How exciting-that means you are that much closer to coming to take me shoe shopping!! (cause you know it's all really only about me!) I like either name. Unlike Sarah, MY brother's name is Tyler, but I still think that is my favorite of the two, even though I really do like both! Good luck with that. Oh, and it's been so long since I visited your blog...just wanted to say your puppy is very cute! Where can I get one of those?

I haven't even told you congrats on the being pregnant yet, and here you are almost done. YEAH!! I hope the next 9 weeks flies by!! I definitely can't help with boys names. We've always had a few chosen but they've never been used (and probably never will be:)

KatieB said...

ryan has always been one of my favorite boy names, so that's my vote! congrats on making it to single digits!!!

KatieB said...

On second thought why don't you guys switch it to Kobe, Lamar, or the ever popular Pau

Eric said...

I highly doubt that comment came from Katie. I would rather not name him at all.

Lisa said...

Ryan is my brothers name and he is a trouble maker. So if you want a RYyyy---AN!!! That is how it sounds when he is in trouble and that is how I remember that name :)
It was great to see you. YOu look great!!

Another thought...I can think of at least three little girls we know named Ryan (Ryanne, Rian, etc). I think it's terrible, but it makes me wonder if that name is going the way of Taylor and all those other used-to-be-only-a-boy-names? And I know how important manliness is to Eric, so I just thought I'd mention it...

Cyndi said...

I love them both! You can name him anything except Katie, because that's what we're going to name our baby girl. Just kidding! Lauren is making that stuff up, I promise. She just can't get over not having a little baby girl. Anyway, I have entered the blogging world - cyndianddave.blogspot.com. Thought I would let you know! Tell Eric thanks for holding Lauren in Church today. She really seems to like him!
