Five on Friday: Baby Edition

Thanks for your kind baby wishes!  Here are the details thus far-

1.  Our due date is May 20th.  We have family members with birthdays on May 16th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st.  I would really love for this baby to have his/her own birthday but that may not happen.

2.  We talk about the baby with Jilly, but I'm not sure she really gets it.  She looooves babies, so hopefully she'll cope with the big change pretty well.

3.  Since I had a girl before, my brain just automatically assumes I will have a girl again.  I call the baby "she" and "her" all the time, not because I really think it's a girl but because I keep forgetting that boy babies do exist.  Bryan, on the other hand, exclusively calls the baby "he" and "him" in hopes that use of these pronouns will produce desired results.  In reality, we'll both be thrilled with no matter what comes our way.  I'll be 20 weeks right around New Year's and traveling (again) so we'll find out sometime later in January what we're having.

4.  I felt yucky mid September through mid November.  Sleep was my very best friend and meal preparation was basically nonexistent (unless you count cereal, ramen, pancakes, and the occasional BLT.)  Jilly, and especially Bryan, were saints during this time.  Glad to be back in full swing.

5.  This pregnancy has wreaked havoc on my emotions.  I cry daily, and about everything.  I've cried during almost every single movie, tv show, book, news report, blog post, article, etc. that I've seen in the past few months.  I think the ultimate was when I cried reading chick fil a stories.  Seriously, I am embarrassing to myself.
