Movement and Names

I have not done very well keeping this blog updated.  I have too much going on in my head and two boys to keep me busy, that I have not documented things the way I have in the past.  I will try to do better.  I haven't taken another belly shot yet, but I really need to.  I have grown, lol.  I feel like I am 8 months pg, with all the aches and pains that come with it.  It makes me a little nervous for when I am actually 8 months pg and how I will feel then.

There are few stories I want to make sure I write about, so I am going to just jot them down here.  First of all, Anabel (yes that's the name we have chosen) moves all the time right now.  I really do love it, there is something awesome about a little being inside you moving with such force it sometimes knocks you back.  It really is my favorite part of being pg.  The boys have both felt her, and so has Mike.   JR loves when he can feel her.  Sometimes he will tell me "Tell me when the baby is kicking or doing somersaults".  Other times he will just come up to me and put his hand on my belly and say, "Is she kicking?" I love how excited he is about it.

The story I really want to make sure I remember is about her name.  For a while now we have been asking the boys what they think we should name her.  Well sometimes they would tell us, they didn't know or just something silly, but one name they always ended up talking about is Kiki.  This is a name of a girl from the Fresh Beat Band, one of their favorite shows on Nick Jr.  Anyway, when we finally decided on the name Anabel, (Mike picked it, and I love it), JR was still adamant that we call her Kiki.  He said it didn't like Anabel.  I told him that he could call her Kiki if he wanted to but her real name is going to be Anabel. Then we saw the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast.  I told JR the princess's name was Belle, and we could call our baby that as a nickname if we wanted.  Well that hooked him and he loves the name Anabel now.  But AJ is a little bit harder to convince.  If you ask him what the baby's name will be, is insists it will be Kiki.  I am pretty sure he will come around to Anabel soon because he has started to say it and he says is so cute.  So I know when they are older they will find it strange they wanted to name their sister Kiki, so I don't want to forget.
