Baby boy is growing!

We are so excited to meet our little man in a few months! I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant, which means I am officially starting my third trimester! I'm 7 months along guys. It's getting real here. I'm starting to have my appointments every 2 weeks now. Crazy! I can't believe I'm already here but then I think about it and it's like yeah, I feel like I've been pregnant for a looong time. That first tri was pretty rough for me. Worse than with my girls. That should have been my clue that I was having a boy. :)

This was the first official picture of my belly I took, even though I was clearly showing...

 Ruby went to the doctor with me for my 27-week Rogam shot and glucose test. She was so impressed by how brave I was when I got stuck with 2 different needles. She asked me where my sticker was. The cute nurse pulled out a lollipop for her and let her choose a sticker to give to me for being so brave. So she picked a Dora sticker and plopped it right on my belly. :)

 

Comparing the pictures it looks like week 24 is when I really started to pop! It should be fun to see how big it gets in the coming months. It's probably going to look ridiculous. I'm carrying this guy just like I carried Ruby, straight out!

 

In church my calling is with the kids 18 months - 3 years old. A few weeks ago I was playing with the kids and one little boy came up to me, put his hands on my belly and said, "Ball?" I laughed and said, "That's not a ball, there's a baby in there." He kept looking at it and saying, "Ball?" He was certain I had a ball under my shirt. I kept saying, "nope no ball under there." And then he grabbed my shirt and lifted it up to make sure, ha ha! It was hilariously cute. His mom walked in to pick him up right after that and I was laughing so hard. I told her the story and she laughed and said they play that game at home all the time where they both will stick balls under their shirts like that. Too funny!

 

Okay I'm signing off for the night.

 

P.S. Why are boys names so hard to pick? We are having the hardest time finding names we like. Any suggestions? We know we want to stick with our tradition of doing family names for middle names so his middle name will more than likely be William. So we're just trying to fill in the blank, ______ William Banbury.
