[heidizone] What happened was ...

Future Moon grows ever upward and outward. My bellybutton is beginning its transformation from innie to outie, and it's getting harder not to waddle. And I've still got 16 weeks to go ... which is starting not to seem so far away after all.

Among the many tasks that lie before us: finishing (OK, *starting*) the nursery, finding day care (gotta get on those waiting lists) and choosing names. This is no easy decision. After all, you're stuck with your name for life, or at least until you're old enough to go to court and change it. We want something normal, even a little old-fashioned. For a girl, that means nothing Top 10 trendy (no Britney or Ashley). No last names or boy names as first names (no Taylor or Mackenzie). And I'd like a name that's not too overused. Once Rachel named her baby "Emma" on "Friends," that was the end of using that name. And some names just don't work with "Moon" -- like April or Bruce. Sigh.

In addition to the belly, the baby is making itself known with frequent and increasingly vigorous movement. Serious Squirmy Baby Tum. At least we know the legs are working!
