Opinions?

We have had a little bit going on the past few weeks. I am now 23 weeks pregnant and still cant feel movement or kicks. I was a little worried a few weeks ago so I went to the doctor, and they told me that I have an anterior placenta which means it is basically a cushion for the baby when she kicks me. Some say I should be thankful because then I will get a break form bruising my ribs, however I really want to feel her. I want to know that she is ok, and I want Zack to be able to feel his daughter kick also. It is kind of frustrating and stressful, but I know she is ok, and hopefully I will be able to feel her soon. I have been trying daily to feel her, and I will sit and concentrate and nothing. Well, at least I believe it is nothing, but who knows! Zack has been super supportive and really excited to be a dad. We have also been talking about names quite a bit and I think we are at least coming closer to deciding. We made a list the other day of names we both liked, which only consisted of a few and came down that the one Zack liked the most was Brooklyn. I like that name too, and if we can agree than Ill take it! We also had Paisley on there, but he likes Brooklyn better. We are thinking Brooklyn Rae, Brooklyn Paige, or Brooklyn Michelle (since Michelle is my middle name). But it is not in stone, and we havent told anyone that is her name. We are still going to be looking around, but what do you guys think of this name. I think it is kind of cute, but please be honest :). I wont be offended. haha. 

Another big event that happened in our life is a week ago I got laid off at the daycare I was hired at. They were expecting a busy summer and that is part of the reason they hired me for this position. It was 3 hour day job and I was doing fine, but kids were not coming because of the economy and they had to let go of some employees. Of course since I was just hired and part time, I was the logical choice, and I was kind of upset at the time. Just because, Zack works so hard and I feel bad that I am capable of working, and it is all on him. We are both in school, and just with the baby coming, I feel bad putting him in this situation but he has been very helpful and very sweet. I have been looking for a new job, but dont feel like it will happen because I am pregnant. Its getting a lot more difficult to hide, and I was worried, but Zack is very optimistic and letting me know that it is ok. He makes me feel so much better about the situation at hand. 

I am also in the process of packing today because tomorrow we are on our way to NJ! We are so happy to be able to have a little vacation and see family. It is such a relief to be able to go for the week, and we couldnt be more excited. So today, we are going to be packing and getting ready because our flight leaves at 5:47 am tomorrow, which means we need to pack and get some sleep so tomorrow we dont miss our flight. I am also happy that my whole family will be there, because my brother has been on his mission and then at school, we havent all been together. I think it will be a very fun time, and I cant wait! 

Well, hopefully I will have some wonderful pictures to post when we get back from our trip, and I look forward to your thoughts on the name Brooklyn. Or if you have another idea for us. We kind of the the more unique names, but not ones that NO ONE in the world has. Just names that you dont hear as often. :)
