First, the BIG things:
#1: My BELLY! Ok, so I know it's not BIG compared to what it will be in a few more months, but I've definitely "popped out" the last few weeks, as you can see from these pics:
17 weeks...
19 weeks - on our way to find out Baby L is a BOY!
and the 23 week picture is coming (I can't find my camera!!)
#2: Another BIG thing is that Ty got a promotion at work - YAY BABE!!! He was officially made a superintendent on the job he's doing - I LOVE seeing him recognized for his hard work! He puts his all into everything he does, and it's SO great to see him rewarded for it!
#3: Big thing - my appetite!! Holy cow - I can't believe how much I can EAT! This kid is going to be record size if he's getting a fraction of what I'm putting in my body!
#4: And for those who actually read this ENTIRE post - we've named our baby! When Ty and I were engaged, he asked if we could name our first boy KC. He wanted the initials, for the first and middle name, and he didn't care what the "K" name was, but the "C" name would be Carl, after his grandpa (the one in Ty's story down below). The "K" will probably be Kendall (no significance, but it's the only "K" name we agreed on). Ty's grandpa, Papa, is an amazing man, and we're thrilled to name our baby after him. If KC is half the man "Papa Carl" is, we'll be doing VERY well.
#5: Our HUMP DAY!! On my mission, "hump day" was a bigger deal than the day you went home from your mission. I still remember for mine, an investigator and my comp and I went to "Tex Mex" Restaurant...a poor excuse for a Mexican Restaurant, but given I was in France, I took what I could get! We then went to the REAL Chateau D'If - where the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned for those that have seen the movie or read the book. It was a great day. As was my hump day for pregnancy. We didn't do anything to celebrate cuz we've been a little busy, but celebration or not, we're there! We obviously passed the 20 week mark, but given that you don't even know you're pregnant for 5 weeks, I figure hump day in pregnancy is closer to 22 weeks. Well, we're there! HOORAY!!!
And now, the little things:
#1 Baby KC - he finally weighs just over a pound, which seems too small, especially when I compare that one pound to all the weight I've gained during pregnancy already!
#2 Our first baby boy purchase - my friend told me that the day we found out what we were having, we needed to go out and buy the outfit our baby would wear home from the hospital. This turned out to be more frustrating than fun as all of the stores are selling summer baby clothes, and we're having a fall baby. Another friend saved the day and told us just to buy "something" boy. We walked over to the shoes and found these...who could resist?! I think they're adorable!!!
#3: And now, the BIGGEST/littlest thing: Here's Baby KC!!! (chicken legs and all!) :)

You are beautiful, and adorable, and those shoes are to die for! And I love the name KC. :) It's a big deal.
I love the name, so cool. Chris and I can't even come up with a name, craziness. You look so cute and don't look big at all. I love those shoes, it took me forever to buy something for our little girl. Good job Tye that is awesome.
I love the shoes! By the way, your belly is not big...at all :)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I love ultrasound day!! He's going to be a cutie, I can tell! :) And, you look GREAT! Way to go girlie! Hugs...
CUTE SHOES! CUTE YOU TOO! I'm glad you post pictures. You look great. I love the name Kendall and I think it's awesome to give a child a namesake. Thanks for the update. I guess I should go update mine...
Way cute! I really like that name too. I think those are the exact shoes Ben wore home too! Good taste. I'm so excited for you. (all three of us are excited for you!)
What a relief to have his name picked out already!! We didn't name Sawyer until he was 2 days old! The name game can be hard. You are still a twig! The belly will get bigger for sure but you'll look beautiful! As always! Congrats on the promotion too!
Love it! Those shoes are adorable, your belly is adorable, the name, everything! We love you guys so much and cannot wait for baby KC!!!!
You look fabulous Elise! Such exciting times. Congratulations to Ty! He's the man! Thanks for the updates.
Elise, what can I say, you look so beautiful! seriously, you don't even have a belly. where you hiding that baby? You really look so good!
Um, the shoes. In a word. Adorable. KC is already stylish beyond words. Love your ever growing belly, babe!
You are so funny, your belly is what mine looks like after dinner every night and I am not prego's! I love the name, and based on the ultra sound picture your baby boy is going to be VERY good looking =)
BTW where are you living these days?
Hi Elise!! I found your blog on Lacey's.... You are such a cute little pregnant woman. I think I am only a few weeks/months behind you. I'm about 16 weeks now. Anyways, hope you guys are doing well and congrats again on the pregnancy! Isn't it so much fun???!! I can't wait to find out what we are having:) Good luck!!
Since you have done a triathlon before I'd LOVE it if you gave me some training advice! I am so out of shape and its going to be difficult to get back to it but I am pumped and want to do it. I'm all ears!
