Drum roll please...
Sophia Madeline Bellamy
It was about time Z and I picked out a middle name for Sophie. I had put it off for some time because I figured the first name was the most important and we had already figured that out. I didn't realize that coming up with a middle name would be so hard. Thankfully Zach and I felt the same way about the name Madeline. We both loved it. So there you have it folks- Sophia Madeline Bellamy.

Goodbye. Hello.
I am a terrible blogger. I would love to convince myself, yet again, that I will get better at it but realistically I know I probably won't with the changes in life that are coming our way. I was getting dressed this morning and looked down at my plain, uncolored nails and thought of all the changes I am so excited for once September 22 gets here. Here are a few in no specific order:
1. Getting to paint my nails. I have kept them untouched the past nine months. I have been so cautious about what chemicals get soaked into my body and I can't wait to put a splash of color back on my feet.
2. Getting to wear regular pants without the stretchy panel. I can't wait to get back into regular jeans. I love jeans, and while this make take a while it is still something I am looking forward to.
3. Not having a swollen body. While I can still see a small outline of my ankles, I am quite excited to be able to see them all the way.
4. Being able to eat a deli meat sandwich and a big salad with ranch dressing. Call me weird but once I was told to not eat deli meats after my first pregnancy visit to the doctor, I didn't realize what a pain this would be and how hard it would actually be to stay away from them. I thought it would be an easy change but I have been looking forward to the day I can eat a hearty turkey sandwich since.
5. Meeting MY little Sophie. It's funny how attached I have become to that uncomfortable little person in my stomach, who for nine months has continued to kick my ribs and do what feels like gymnastics inside my stomach. It has not been the most comfortable nine months of life and I am so excited to meet her, not just to have that part over with, but because she will be MY little girl, MY little Sophie, and I will finally get to meet her face to face.
6. Not huffing and puffing after walking from one room to another. My organs seems to not have as much room as they did nine months ago. My lungs and bladder have been the most noticeable. I'm excited to be able to breath a little better.
7. To not be sweating all day, every day. I have been so hot lately. Yes, it is summer but yes, I am also pregnant. I am excited to be able to not have the air conditioning constantly blowing in the gaps in my clothing to cool down.
8. To not be constantly hungry. I love eating, just not every 45 minutes of my day. I have been constantly hungry and I can't wait for that 45 minutes to turn into a few hours.
9. To see Zach interact with Sophie. I am so excited to see this. I love watching him at family dinners on Sunday as he holds his nephews. He is so cute with them and you can still tell he is a little stiff because he wants to be so careful with them. It's cute to watch and I can't wait to see him do the same with Sophie.
10. Getting to sleep without a body pillow. While this has been nice it has also taken up quite a large chuck of the bed. I can't wait to get that space back.
11. Being able to sleep on my back and stomach. Sleeping on my side the past months has not been what I would consider comfortable and makes sleeping at nice a little harder than usual. I can't wait to get back on my back and stomach.
12. Goodbye zits. I am quite excited to get back on some sort acne medication and have these pesty little friends be gone again.
13. Goodbye unnecessary and unwanted pounds. While it is absolutely necessary to gain weight while pregnant, I can't wait to get back into shape. I am looking forward to this very much.
14. Not having to pee every hour. This has caused a problem not only during the day but more during the night. As much as I like peeing 8 times a night, it will be nice not to visit the bathroom so much.
These are just a few of the changes I am exited to see over the next few months.I know that all the things I have disliked over the past few months will be more than worth it when I see that little girl but I also am excited for the changes that lie ahead. Wish me luck.
