Let me tell you, Thanksgiving is a pregnant woman's DREAM. I told my husband that I want all of my pregnancies to happen over Thanksgiving!
First, have you seen that episode of Friends where Joey wears the maternity pants on Thanksgiving? That is my life. Maternity pants are awesome and still so comfy after consuming mass amounts of food. And when you're pregnant you can eat as much as you want and no one will judge you!
Second, you can take as many naps as you want and no one will judge you! In fact, people encourage it.
And third, no one asks you to do dishes when you're pregnant. And when you offer, everyone just tells you to go sit down (at least they did on my husband's side of the family). Yes, that is awesome.

Any and every woman who is pregnant or has ever been pregnant MUST read this blog. I laughed so hard I cried at nearly every post. So so funny.

Out Little Nugget is a BOY!!
We found out last Friday (11-11-11!!), and it was pretty clear on the ultrasound that he is a little boyo. We are so excited!!
We could change our minds a thousand times in the next four months, but right now we think we are going to name him William Wallace Flinn and nickname him Liam. He'll be named William after one of my grandpas and Wallace after one of Korey's grandpas. We are aware that William Wallace is also from the movie Braveheart, but think that that's pretty awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Bill, Will, Willy, etc as a nickname, so we are really going to try hard to make Liam stick. But I know that whatever name suits him will stick. :)
He is one active little guy, that's for sure! I first felt him move the Tuesday before our ultrasound, and ever since then I can feel him squirming, flipping, kicking, etc multiple times a day. Every time I feel him, it makes me smile! Korey was able to feel him from the outside once already, but it was faint. I can't wait until our little boyo is strong enough to be felt from the outside!
And I am officially looking very PREGNANT. I was able to get some great fitting maternity clothes and a maternity winter coat this weekend thanks to my amazing mom and the occasion of my birthday. It is so much easier in the morning when I actually have a choice of things to wear. And it makes it much easier in my life that I don't have to do a load of laundry every few days. So far, I've gotten a lot of great used items at various Goodwills, and I found a lot of great fitting and affordable stuff at Old Navy this past weekend. I got my coat and a few other items at Destination Maternity which has a lot of great stuff, but some of it can be a little pricey sometimes.
I did get a little talk from the doctor last Monday at my follow-up appointment about gaining weight a little too fast. I gained I think like 7 or 8 pounds between visits, which is probably twice what I should have gained. I know it is because I have been drinking so much pop. Something about the ice cold, bubbly, sweetness makes me crave it so much!! I have been trying to no overdo it anyway because of the caffeine, but now I've limited myself to ONE pop per day. I'm hoping cutting out those calories, and subbing in water the rest of the time, will help me not to gain so much weight before my December appointment.
And here is a picture of my growing belly:
I am almost 22 weeks! I just know that time is going to fly by, especially with the holidays coming up, and that he will be here before we know it!!
