So... I am wide awake and have been since 4:30. This is really weird for me. I have never had problems sleeping. If anything I have a problem with sleeping too much! So I am sitting here boring all of you with my pointless rambling and watching Babies: Special Delivery on Discovery Health (which, by the way, I am quite annoyed that Oprah decided she needs to take over to make her own network! Really?? Discovery Health? Couldn't you have picked another channel like The Fishing Channel or one of the million other channels available?? Boo Oprah. Boo.). I would upload a few more pictures for you to enjoy but they are on our other computer, which Dave used to buy my Christmas presents and I am being a good wife and trying not to accidentally see. Anyway, I have been very productive lately! We are planning on doing some baby gear scouting this weekend in SLC but probably won't buy anything until after Christmas.
This is my 26 week picture...
I guess I will answer some of your questions. Lindsy, you asked if I was pregnant when you were here and we went to dinner. I was but I didn't know it yet. So I guess when you were asking when we were going to have a baby and I said we are getting old so probably sooner than later I really meant it! :)
I haven't had any heartburn yet! I just have that thing where if I eat too late and then lay down I feel like the food is in my throat! But it doesn't burn so I'm assuming that is not heartburn. I've never had heartburn before but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it probably burns. :) I am loving buying little girl things! There is SO much cute stuff! And I love the pink too! I am not totally anti-pink as some may think. Yesterday I had to go get some labs drawn and a little probably 4-year-old girl came in with her mom and she was dressed in a full-on princess dress. It was SO cute!! And I had an epiphany that I really don't care if I my little girl wants to dress as a princess or wear dresses all the time or is a giant tomboy like I was. If that is who she is and it makes her happy then I will be happy! :)
As far as names go, we have a name pretty much picked out. We are keeping our options open but this name has just kind of fit since the beginning and obviously even more so since we found out what she was a girl. I am still contemplating sharing it with the world for some reason but I will tell you that her middle name will be June. It was my Grandma Alley's middle name and is super cute with the first name we have picked if I do say so myself. :)
I think those are all the questions so far, right?
One thing that I have noticed and Dave has definitely noticed is that I am a bit ornery since I have had pregnancy hormones rushing through my body. I have never really been one to be super emotional or hormonal (I don't think??) but being pregnant makes me a bit PMS-y kind of all the time. :) I really am not a fan of it. I know Dave is not. I think it makes it even harder for Dave to understand and deal with when I was never a moody kind of girl before. Even Michelle has said that I am a feisty pregnant lady and she wants her laid back, agreeable Ashley back. :) Sorry folks, if I could change it I definitely would! I do try... I guess I am just no competition for pregnancy hormones!
On a side note, I would NEVER allow my deliveries to be filmed! And Dave would DEFINITELY not be down with it! He is trying to ban any pictures at all in the delivery room... haha... He said that my mom is going to get patted down before she can come in. I am okay with pictures a few minutes after birth as long as none of them have my lady parts in them.
Well, I guess I will stop pointlessly rambling now. We will be taking a 28 week picture tomorrow and then I will post it and probably have no words since I just went off and covered pretty much everything I can think of for the time being. :)

You always crack me up! Not that being awake at 4am is funny. But, I must concur with the sleep/no sleep mother nature comment, as well as the snow if it'g gonna be cold.
As far as the feisty thing goes - it's probably gearing you up for things to come. Though the laid back attitude works pretty well with children too.
You're gonna be a fantastic mom wither way.
I think maybe the sleepless thing is "perhaps" shades of things to come. Though maybe you'll be one of those fortunate few whose baby sleeps through the night from day one...maybe :0)
(you look very cute by the by...)
Apparently I shouldn't type whilst under the influence of cough medicine...
I guess maybe it is mother natures way of easing you into having restless and interrupted sleep for a while, possibly the rest of your life? Who knows. :) I know I haven't slept "great" in a loooong time. Love the update. Thanks. Just as a side note even if you were pregnant when we went out to dinner and you did know (which you didn't) and you didn't want to tell me because you hadn't cracked the news yet to everyone else, I would be totally okay with that. :) Did that make sense? A lot of what I say doesn't usually make sense so sorry if that is the case this time.
Me and pregnancy insomnia are good friends too. Well, maybe I should say good enemies. It's the most annoying thing in the world. And that is heartburn. I've never had a burn, just the feeling like everything I just ate was sitting in my throat. Ahhhh, eat tums, that's my advice. And take Tylenol PM, that my other bit of advice. (It's an okay med to take during pregnancy.)
