Not too much has been going on lately on the baby front, which I consider a good sign. I'm starting to think all my weekly pregnancy updates are a curse. Every time it mentions something new to look out for I end up getting it. First it was a bladder infection and lately it's been leg cramps. Just when I think the symptom of the week doesn't apply to me I wake up with sore calves.
I wish my belly would at lest grow in proportion to my butt. I'm starting to think that maybe I should lay off the cupcakes. Of course just as I finished off a batch that I made my sweet friend made me some flour less chocolate cupcakes with cheesecake frosting yesterday. How can I say no? They are so good! Also, we're getting free lunch for the next two weeks at work so it's take out until mid October. Next month for sure I'm going to start eating better...at least until Thanksgiving.
I haven't really been feeling the baby kick, probably because of all my blubber. I wish he would get bigger stat so he could remind me he's still around with jabs to the rib. Occasionally I feel something that could be a kick, but I'm never sure. Of course those women on "I didn't know I was pregnant" never feel anything so I'm sure it's fine. I just saw him last week and he was definitely moving around and I couldn't feel a thing.
Saturday morning we went to Target to get our $20 gift certificate for creating a baby registry. We also picked up four long sleeved maternity t-shirts that were on sale, which ended up only costing $5 each with the gift certificate and sale. Nice.
On Saturday night we visited a friend of ours that just had a baby girl last week and she let me hold her. So cute! I can't believe in a few months I'll have one of my own. They gave us a lot of great advice, we love getting any sort of advice we can get, and let us borrow their baby names book. We keep adding names to our ever growing list, not really narrowing it down. Lately the name we like is Quentin. I really like Duke, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't really sound good with our last name.

Our church had its semi-annual General Conference on TV this weekend so I watched TV and slept a lot. I napped through both afternoon sessions on Saturday and Sunday which led to going to bed late and being tired all day, requiring another nap. Unfortunately the trend ends today since my work tends to frown at falling asleep at your desk. I'm going to be doing a lot of catching up on those sessions I missed.
We had some friends over for the first session of conference yesterday which was fun. We finally cleaned the apartment and my husband made this delicious BBQ pulled pork. Unfortunately it took two hours longer than we thought it would and we ended up cooking through the whole session. It was fun and there was soo much good food there. Even my gluten-free bun I bought tasted pretty good. Having a good bun really opens up a world of possibilities. Maybe someday we'll go get a hamburger on my bun.
I also spent an obscene amount of time putting together a new photography website for my husband who enjoys taking pictures. He had so many good photos we totally forgot about. It was fun going through ones from trips we took in the past. Good times.
