Belly Shots!
I didn't realize I hadn't posted any belly pictures on here yet. So I'll go ahead and post all of them (that have already been taken) here.

I'm falling apart!
My body feels so tired and sore. Yesterday, Maddox and I took the bus over to my mothers house. By the time we got there, I felt like my belly was going to fall off. I just wanted to rest it on something. Just take it off and lay on something LOL My back hurt a little bit, but mostly my hips and waist area - and because of my belly. It's not even big yet!
All I could do last night when we got home was flop around from side to side trying to find a comfortable position. I took some Tylenol for my belly and the sciatica that was acting up. I picked Maddox up very early in the morning (4:30am) to put him in his bed and my sciatica in my right side was so bad I could barely pick him up. I got him in bed and hobbled to the bathroom to pee before going back to bed. I still felt miserable.
This morning my sciatica isn't so bad right now, but my belly still hurt a bit, my arms and back are incredibly sore (probably from carrying Maddox all over yesterday) and my shoulders & neck are killing me. I have a headache (of course!) and every time I put my head down a little bit (chin towards chest), I feel like I'm going to throw up. I also get the burning sensation (like stretching a thigh ligament too much) down my back, but that is always, all day long, every day!
Also, I cannot even remember the last time that we had sex and I feel terrible about it. I have felt so terrible this pregnancy. It's not that I'm never in the mood. I just, physically, hurt all the time and feel so miserable. Not to mention all the other gross stuff of pregnancy, like excessive discharge, lack of bladder control, constipation, etc. I feel so miserable AND unattractive/gross!
Anyways. Maddox woke up fairly early this morning, so hopefully I can get him down for a nap early and in bed early tonight and have a chance for a shower and such. I'd really like to go take a bath by myself right now. I know that's not going to happen though.

"I do it myself!"
Maddox is really getting into the independent stage. I know most kids that are his age went through it almost a year ago, but up until a couple weeks ago, Maddox wanted me to do everything for him. He still asks for help with some things like pulling up his underwear (they always get twisted).. and some other things I cannot think of right now. LOL Everything else we try to help with, we get yelled at - "NO! I do it by MYSeeeeeeeeelf!" Hopefully that means he'll be trying to get his own shirt, pants, etc on. He is supposed to be doing that as well, but he would never even try before. Especially since he'd rather run around naked! He can take OFF his own clothes now, since we started refusing to do it for him. If he wants his clothes off, he can do it himself. He's the one that wants to run around naked!
The bad parts of him wanting to do everything himself. Getting DVD's, taking them out of the case, putting them into the DVD player on his own. We had raised the DVD player and VCR as high as it would go on our entertainment center when he started to pull himself up. Now he is tall enough to reach everything! Luckily, the Wii is ONTOP of the entertainment center, so he cannot reach that. I definitely watch him so that he doesn't try to climb up the entertainment center. I've heard a lot of stories about kiddo's trying to climb up and pulling the TV onto themselves. We do not have a plasma or anything like that so it is a heavy TV.
But that's all for now. I've typed as much as I possibly can right now.

Ultrasound!
We had our Ultrasound today! First I will start out by saying that everything looked great! No problems or conditions were detected. Today is 20 Weeks and 6 Days. The baby is 13 ounces and the heartrate is 154bpm.
We didn't get any "Gender Pics" because the babies legs were crossed, but now that I am home and it's not possible, I wish I would have asked her to print one off because the view was actually pretty good. The tech, at first, said about 97% sure on the gender, but by the end of the U/S she said "Yeah, I say it's a Girl!" There were THREE distinct little lines where her vagina is, but the US tech didn't want to say 100% or completely positive because we couldn't see enough of the area to say "No! There is no penis." However, we did not see anything there (except the three lines) that would indict that there was anything sticking out. Not even the umbilical cord (which was right in front of her face!) At the end of the Ultrasound, when she finally did move one of her legs, she stuck her entire arm and fist in between her legs. Her arm was in the front and her fist was underneath her at her butt. You couldn't see ANYTHING after that.
I feel confident with this verdict, especially since most of this pregnancy, I have had a very strong "girl" feeling. I had a very strong "boy" feeling when I was pregnant with Maddox. I am usually a very naturally intuitive person, so I trust that she is a little girl!
I'm so excited to finally know the sex! Now we can pick a name and start shopping for some clothes and necessities!
I wanted to hold the little peanut so bad! It was so awesome to see her on the Ultrasound and be able to SEE all the movements I was feeling! She had the hiccups throughout the entire Ultrasound and it was really cool to see her kick. She was aggressive with the one little leg of hers! You could see her right leg going and it looked almost like she was peddling a bike!
So that it all really. We're done to Faelyn Audrey or Audrey Lorraine. I feel like I would prefer Faelyn Audrey Lorraine, but that is way too long! She does not seem like an Ella at all. Definitely seems like an Audrey and can definitely pull of a unique, uncommon name like Faelyn (Faye is a good fit too!).

Maddox's Blue Mohawk
We just got comb in stuff that washes out right away - for now. If he's too upset about it coming out, we'll decide if we want to get a semi-perm, but only if it is Manic Panic or, preferrably, Special Effects. It's starting to fade (rub off on furniture and carpet) and he was a bit upset about that. He thinks it looks grey now, which is does look a little silverish-grey in his non-yellow blonde hair.
