Peanuts Name & Maine

The countdown has officially begun, now that I'm 23 weeks pregnant. With only 17 wks to go I realize I have a lot to do in order to get ready for this lil peanut.

We've officially decided on a name; Kingston Irving Rhodes. I know it's "different" and it's not ordinary, but we love it, we call him "Baby K" for short. Kingston, dervied from my favorite musician's son. Irving is Mark's middle name; and he was named after his grandfather.

What's in a name? Does it make the person, or does the person make the name?
Belly measurement is 37 inches around. I'm lovin it. I feel him move constantly, and Mark has been able to also share in on it too! The feeling I get when I feel him move around is absolutely amazing; it just makes it so real.

I'm back to eating everything, no odd food aversions. Feeling great overall.

This past weekend, we went to Maine and had a wonderful time! Who'd think you'd find me, pregnant on a lobster boat pulling lobsters out of the lobster pot, and putting rubber bands around their claws, it was thrilling to say the least! I loved seeing the Star fish in the cages! Then on Saturday we went fishing all day, what a day, I caught several bass fish; however only one made it into the boat... haha, the others got away. And on Sunday we enjoyed Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain. Life in Maine is a lot different than CT to say the least, everythings a lil slower in Maine, everything! All in all it was a great time and we were able to take a break from work and life to just relax; it was well overdue.
