Here is a humorous list of baby names that I came across today. I had quite a laugh reading it and thought I should share it with all of my friends and family.
BABIES NAMED A BAD, BAD THING

23 Weeks and Growing!
I am sorry I have not updated in three weeks! I can't believe its been that long!
My belly must be growing because my back has been giving me issues this week. It was bothering me all night long on Sunday night, after a long weekend of cleaning, laundry, and yard work. So on Monday when I arrived at work, one of the doctors from my office checked out me and baby: no bladder infection, no contractions, just muscle strain in my pelvis and low back. She also did an ultrasound and it showed that my uterus is pushing on my spine and the baby was in an awkward position. The baby's back was down with a butt on the left side of my belly and the head, hands, and feet were all on the other side (this is called a transverse position). During the ultrasound the baby turned its back to my stomach and was using my spine and kidneys as a punching bag, which may also have been contributing to my discomfort. At least I know what was causing it now. That made me feel a lot better psychologically.
The baby also did not want to show us its face on the ultrasound, but the doctor tried to take a couple of pictures nonetheless. I would post them, but the look like a Halloween skeleton. She did get a great picture of the back of the baby's head and neck though! The baby also did not want to show "the goods" on the ultrasound, so the doctor doesn't know what we are having either. Good baby!
So the treatment is that I'm out of work this week to give my strained back muscles a break, and I'm supposed to be on bed rest, but its been more like chair rest. I cannot stand to lie down all day for a week! I did that yesterday and I don't think it helped my back at all. And for some reason, if I'm lying on the couch the dog thinks its time to play and feels the need to jump on me with all of his 40 pounds. I've been either sitting in the recliner knitting or sitting on the couch with the dog because he'll lie down if I'm sitting. Right now I'm sitting up at the PC with my feet up to give you all this update and I'm feeling pretty good. I have another chiropractor appointment in the morning, so hopefully I can get my back straightened out and rejoin the other productive members of society. I am definitely going to take it easier on myself, and I'm leaving the yard work to Jesse! My sister has offered to help me with the vacuuming and mopping, as both of those things bother my back in a non pregnant state.
I will try to get some more pictures loaded tomorrow. I did try to update my belly picture slide show last week, but the 'puter was being super slow at uploading. I'll try it again tomorrow, as its getting to be time for me to "rest" again.

20 Week Check-Up
I had my 20 week appointment on Friday and all is well! The baby's heartbeat was great and we could even hear the baby having hiccups on the Doppler. I thought the baby might have had hiccups the other night when I was lying in bed and was feeling the baby move a lot, but I wasn't sure. Now I know it probably was baby hiccups.
I'm feeling the baby move every day for the past week or so and it is a very reassuring feeling. I told Jesse that it feels more like the baby is tapping on my belly from the inside now, and he said that the baby is saying: "Hello out there, remember me? I'm hungry! Eat something! Drink more water please! Feed me!" I feel like I'm eating all of the time now, but I guess that's how I'm supposed to feel.
I have my first chiropractic appointment on Thursday! Thank heavens! My back gets so tense and tight after I've worked a long day or done a lot of work around the house, and I can't stretch out anymore. I also would like to do a pregnancy massage sometime! Ooo and a pedicure when the weather gets nicer! :)
