beginning of the bump: (bitty bump) week 9
11 weeks
week 15 (middle)
end of week 17
First day of week 19.
Next Monday we find out the gender. So exciting! People say I'm carrying "high", but I feel the baby down low... so I'm not sure what all that stuff is that's "high"... I guess my guts. So confusing!
Cravings: pasta... and every once in a while chinese food specially shrimp which I CAN'T have..... the first thing I want to eat is a great mass of shrimp after I have this little one.
Sickness: Only in the beginning and not like the horror stories I hear from other people. I've only thrown up twice. Once while brushing me teeth (a common gagging experience for me though) and once while driving to work (that was lots of fun and adventurous!-- No cantaloupe. What a bummer.)
What do we think we are having? We both think a girl, but because somebody has to win the back rub bet I'm taking the default of boy. We don't care what we have as it's Gods choice anyways. He knows what's best.
We've been slowly putting baby things into the room (like the advent of our wee one) each week one item. Lots of fun to watch it transform.
Names: Boy- Elijah Amene Hackett Girl- Ruth-Ann Marie Hackett
That's good for now. More pictures soon.

I remember once you telling me that Pam thought you were going to have twin boys. Well I am not sure twins are in your family history's anywhere but I have to say I think I will cast a vote for an Elijah. Marlin is guessing for a Ruth-Ann. But like you, we are just praying for a healthy and happy blessing of God's choosing. We like both choices of names and are glad they will have a special one you picked just for them. Proverbs 22:1 says, A good name is more desireable than riches; to be esteemed is better than silver and gold. As you probably know, Ruth means Friendship and Ann means Gracious. Elijah means Jehovah is God and Amene, from amen, in Hebrew means Believe. What Good names!
