Now To Find A Name

Well the sono went well! The baby was not real active but everything seems to be fine according to my OB. I haven't felt much at all which is why it's been really hard for me to believe I'm pregnant. No morning sickness, no kicks and 20 weeks now, just been a bit odd I guess! They think that since I'm so busy I'm just not noticing much. After the kids are bed, late at night on the couch I *think* I feel things but not real sure! What I have noticed is my right leg looks uglier with these veins as the weeks go by. Ugh.

After lunch for fun I told Alex, Dom, and cousin Madison to go write down some baby names for their new sister. We'll get to their list in just a few minutes. lol She went down to her room and grabbed a yearbook because there's nothing like naming their siblings after classmates names they believe are cool. lol It's been hilarious listening to them giggle as they try pronouncing the names and then write them down.

So I must admit, I was shocked it was a girl!! Holy Moley! I thought for sure it'd be a boy but like I said, I've been wrong every time. I think how neat this is that we have 2 boys and now 2 girls so close in age but then I get sad because Alex doesn't have a girl sibling around her age.

Anyways she is weighing in at a whoppin 10 oz and had 158 bpm on her little heart. She was not moving at all which freaks me out a bit but they said it's not uncommon. Usually they are going haywire in there, sucking thumbs, waving, etc. They did get her to budge a little and show us a shot of the goods but it wasn't a normal straight on field goal shot. The sono tech has saw me through every one of our kids and she let me guess first everytime. I said "Oh my, I really think that looks like a girl!" She said, "you know I think so too!" Dave was sitting there squinting like what the heck are you all seeing that I'm not. lol

Well, I see 3 perfectly straight lines all symetrical in matching GIRL parts.

And this one I see the cutest little nose and side view of someone I can't wait to snuggle with!

And here are some of Alex and Madison's names they picked out from her yearbook.

*Angel

*Angelina

*Catey

*Taylor

*Mina

*Maggy

*Remington (Alex's good friend lol)

*Olivia

*Kalea

*Courtney

*Emily

Daddy is still dead set on Gabriella. Which means it will be a fight to the finish. I want a whole bunch of names but I love Gianna (G-On-ah) which means God is Gracious.

Hi, My Name Is Booger.

Today was supposed to be a routine appointment. It didn't turn out that way. I decided to haul the 3 kiddos along with me since it was supposed to be just a pee in a cup, weight, blood pressure, heartbeat, and a few words from the Doc. Nurse wanted to do the heart rate first so she tried and tried for about 5 minutes. The whole time I kept thinking maybe I didn't hear the heartbeat, it was probably placenta and there's nothing there. Damien was so upset screaming on the floor beside the table. She sent my Dr in who tried for about 5 minutes as well. My stomach was getting so sore from the doppler being pressed into my gut, Damien was still upset. Finally the words I knew that were coming "we need to do an early sono, I'm sure everything his fine." Yeah sure, like I haven't heard THAT one before. After an agonizing 45 minute wait for the sono room to open up and my Mom arriving to watch my monkeys, I finally got in. She first did a normal sono and said she could see but it wasn't that clear so I just came right out and asked since I've dealt with this same sono tech for years "is there a heartbeat?" She said yes so then we did an internal, got the measurements and are at 12 wks 3 days on target. I saw him/her jump around for awhile, kick their feet around and move their arms. Thank freakin God. I went back to the waiting area, Damien screaming for me, gave Mom the pic, and Dave had just walked in the door from getting off work. I told him this one's name is Booger since it gave us a scare and of all days on Damien's Birthday. I made my appointment and he just stared and stared forever at the pic and then said "look it's got feet." lol
