Nope, no morning sickness. Just some MAJOR fatigue. It was much worse back in May. As I've gotten closer to my second trimester (I'm 13.5 weeks along now, so I'm basically "there"), it's gotten much better. I can stay away driving home from work and also when I go to baseball games with my husband now!

As for names... we like old classic names moreso than "trendy" which is a little unfortunate because my husband comes from a large family with lots of boys and they all have classic names as well, and my husband refuses to "repeat". I love the name Nicholas, but it's his brother, so it's out. I love Michael and Ryan but those are two cousins and they're out. That's one reason finding a boys name has been so difficult. My husband is Joshua - my favorite boys name ever - but neither of us want to do the Sr./Jr. thing. So THAT'S out. I'd be happy to get one more name on the contender list so we'd have Noah, Evan and _______ to choose from. I may keep on pushing for Alexander (Alex Patterson = SO CUTE!!!) since I'd been mentioning Evan for awhile and that originally got the nix as well. Men. What a pain in the butt!

Oh and Kari - Rachel Victoria has been my favorite name since 1992 when I "made it up" for a story I was writing. If this one isn't Rachel and we have another girl later on, she most likely will be. I don't know why it's stuck with me so long but I figure any name that has 13+ years of staying power shouldn't go to waste!! Funny thing is, I don't like the name nearly as much if Victoria isn't the middle name. I'm weird.
