I'm filling in on the air for AJ today as they get ready for the arrival of their baby Wonderdog anytime now. I'm taking this quiet time in the studio and really listening to the words of the music. The music of LIFE 100.3 pumps through our offices all day long but when you're working it's easy to kind of tune it out. I just played the Sidewalk Prohets "You Love Me Anyway" - i sat back and listened and WOW what a reality check. All the wrongs I have done, sadness I may have caused God when I turned away instead of turning to Him when I needed Him the most and yet He loves me anyway. It's a promise that we all need to be reminded of. If He loves us through all the garbage how can we not give Him everything?

Did you feel that!?!?
Disclaimer: The majority of my blogging will probably be about pregnancy these days because it's the biggest thing in my life right now - literally so I apologize if you are rolling your eyes, "here she goes again" kind of thing.
I'm 21 weeks pregnant now and i've been feeling the baby move since about week 17. Just rolling or twisting but not until this week i have I felt more defined kicks and punches. Nothing too hard or painful yet but I can definately feel it. My husband has been anxiously waiting for when he gets to feel the baby seeing as I have been talking about it for weeks. Last night there was quite a bit of kicking so I got his hand in position and we sat still and quiet and waited for the big moment....then pow there it was and we both said at the same time "did you feel that?!?!?" It was probably the hardest kick i've felt and I was so excited for my husband that he got to feel it, it was quite a bonding moment for him to feel our baby moving around. Even though I hear it gets uncomfortable i'm looking forward to more kicks and punches from the little one!

20 down 20 to go
I have hit the halfway point with baby Melanson, 20 weeks down and 20 more to go until we meet our little one. I had my 20 week ultra sound and we did NOT want to find out if it was a boy or a girl and even if we had wanted to know the baby wasn't showing off the info, a modest little one already.
I have been very blessed to have a smooth sailing pregnancy so far. Not really sick in the beginning, although very tired. I had an energy spurt after I hit 12 weeks where I was feeling great, ready to stay up late and have a life again. That seems to have come to an end seeing as I was in bed at 6pm last night because I couldn't keep my eyes open. I slept for a couple hours, got up for America's Got Talent and Cake Boss and back to bed I went.
Sleeping has become an interesting task as I try to find a comfortable position which usually depends on how the baby is sitting. The baby seems to like to sleep all day and party all night so as I fall asleep it decides to do some gymanstics and I have to find a new position to sleep in. I am not complaining at all because I find it all so exciting. I still can't believe there is a baby in there keeping me up and not just something I ate. I'm loving all the movements but it's starting to set in that in 20 weeks it has to come out.......not sure how I feel about that part yet!

Boy or Girl?
In a couple weeks I will have my next ultra sound, and it's the big one, we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Phil and decided a long time ago that we want the surprise in the delivery room so we are going to opt out of the option at the ultra sound. It's so funny to see people's reaction when we tell them we're NOT finding out. I guess with the option now it's just assumed everyone would want to find out.
Deep down of course I would like to know ahead of time. I can plan a pink or blue room and start the babies wardrobe. But there is something exciting about finding out in the moment of the babies birth. I have a nice neutral plan for the room and then I can add touches of blue or pink when the time comes. As for clothes, i'll get a few things to get me started and then i'll let the grandma's do some shopping and when the babies born. We have a name for either already to go we just need he or she to arrive.
My mom thinks we will cave in the ultra sound room and end up finding out. I'm the kid that opened that snooped through the house looking for my Christmas gifts, even opening them and re-wrapping when my parents weren't hope. So she thinks there is no way I can wait for this surprise. However i'm older and wiser now, once she said that to me now i'm determined not to give in just to prove that I can stick to my guns. Challenge accepted mom!
