I have hardly had any time to sit and blog so now I have 15 minutes before the bus arrives and I am determined to write a quick update on things! I am just over 20 weeks now and I am not sure where time is going but it is flying by...it is so funny how different pregnancy is with working and two kids at home. I think with Blake I laid around constantly worrying about everything I felt and didn't feel, with this pregnancy, I can't find five minutes to sit and think about anything! I had one bad day last week when I just didn't feel good, I hurt everywhere (hips, stomach, cramps, cerclage) everywhere, for a little while, it made me very nervous but the next day I felt really good again so maybe I was just having some growing pains! I actually have done a three week span between doctors appointments this time so I don't go till the end of this week which is crazy for me as I was seeing Dr. K every week at this time with Blake! I see Dr. G and Dr. K at the end of this week so I am very anxious to make sure my cervix and cerclage are holding tight, especially since I can't seem to sit down for 10 minutes a day right now! I am doing the weekly shots again for preterm labor and I think they are working, I still have Braxton hicks off and on but I am fully aware and expecting those at this point. I did try and walk a little for exercise last week but it hurt where my stitches are so bad that I could hardly make it home from my walk so I decided maybe I will just hold off on walking for awhile, maybe I will find some Pilate's or yoga where I can sit down and not have the pressure on my cerclage. It is amazing how much more confident I feel in my body being able to carry this baby to term, I even went shopping today and bought her some outfits and I am excited and ready to start putting the nursery together - such a different and wonderful experience this has been for me, I am so thankful for this amazing peace I have!
OK...The most important reason I wanted to write this post is for those of you who are and will be praying for the safe and healthy arrival of this sweet baby girl, we have a name!! Emily Alice Gordon, we love the name Emily and feel like we are using a part of sweet Emma's name and Alice is after my dear Grandma White who passed almost a year ago, Grandma's name had to be incorporated somehow and we love the combination of Emily Alice!! So Miss. Emily should be making her appearance around the time of Grandma White's birthday in January, wouldn't that be something...
Anyways, that's all I have for now, I will update after my appointment on Friday and post new belly pictures since we are indeed growing around here!!

Kaite, what a sweet sweet name! Miss Emily is going to love her family very much! So happy to hear that everything is going well. I am sure keeping busy with two kids in a job definitely helps! :) Look forward to hearing about your appointments. And congrats on making to the half way point! Here's to a very smooth second half!
How sweet to honor Doris who I just loved! She was always smiling and happy. So glad you updated I am sure your Mom told you how I look for this blog every day. Looking forward to spending time with your Mom and Steve and hearing first hand how baby Emily is doing. All our love and prayers to you from Vegas.
