Welcome to California

So, I went through my first earthquake on Tuesday. It was craazy... I was in a meeting with my team, and all of a sudden, everything started to shake. Apparently, I had this crazy look on my face, like what the hell, and I grabbed the computer and tried to hold it still. All of a sudden, my associates were yelling, "Everyone get under the tables!" The next thing you know, the entire building was shaking. It shook for about 30-45 seconds, which doesn't seem like a long time, but when the whole building is shaking, it is a pretty long time. Once it stopped, we ran back to our desks to be with everyone else and my associates got under their regular desks. We went outside and stood out there for awhile. Apparently, they had engineers check out the building to make sure it was safe. Well, there were cracks on a lot of the walls. There were 3 T.V.s hanging from the ceiling that fell on the third floor. Yeah, some genius thought it would be a great idea to hang 27 inch (I don't know exactly how big they are, but at least that big, if not bigger) from the ceiling in an area that has earthquakes. Apparently, we were pretty close to the epicenter of the earthquake, so we got it pretty bad. Luckily, my entire team decided to go home afterwards, so it was a pretty good afternoon. So, I survived my first earthquake. Some people got really upset and were crying, but it wasn't too bad. Apparently, there was a really bad one a few years ago, which is why some people really freaked out.

So, the pregnancy is still going very well. My stomach still gets bigger and bigger every day. Josh finally felt the baby kick for real last night. He was pretty siked. It's pretty crazy feeling the baby kick. I can also feel it when he is just flipping around in there.

I think we've decided on a name-Jeremy Cole. Let me know what you think. I think it is pretty cute. We are going to have a girl's name picked out just in case, but I have no idea what it is going to be, yet.

Here is a picture of my giant belly. It is a terrible picture, so please don't pay attention to how I actually look. It looks like I have a double chin (I swear I've only gained 6 pounds or so). I just had Josh take a quick picture of me with my belly so everyone could see how big it's gotten with his phone, so it is not a good quality picture and not flattering for me at all, but it really shows my belly well. I actually look pregnant in it for sure. Don't mind the guy in the wet suit on the T.V. We are watching Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Yeah, that is my actually belly-no stuffing or anything. It is pretty crazy. I will post the new ultrasound pictures once I get them scanned onto the computer.
