Baby Names and a Gift

Ok, so 12 weeks is a little early to worry about baby names. I'm a new mom and i'm excited. I can't help myself. My dear husband already has a boy's name picked out....with no help from me. Apparently, he's had it picked out for a good while now. And YES, i made sure he had NO help coming up with the name. haha We've also agreed on a 2nd boy's name. We're only having one child mind you, but i guess we're preparing for later? I actually helped coming up with the alternate boy's name, in the event we'll need another boy's name later on. I mean, how many boys do i really want?? I am shooting for a girl and a boy. That's all. Of course i told my husband we'd start with ONE child and see how it goes.

The problem i'm having at the moment is coming up with a girl's name. I would love to include "Love" in it as the middle name since it is my maiden name. What better way to keep my side of the family involved, right? But i'm having a hard time coming up with a name that sounds good with it so it might not happen. With that said, I do not want to disclose the few names that i have been thinking about until i hear some of your suggestions. Keep in mind that i prefer a name that is not TOO common but not something "out there" either. Please post a comment with your opinions. And once I....i mean "we" make a decision, i'll post the name on here for all to see. If we happen to choose the name you suggest, you'll get a small gift of appreciation from us. Good luck and we appreciate you taking the time to help us out.

OY!

I had a lady at church Sunday (pew in front of me) turn around and tell me she just wanted to know if i had gotten fat yet. This is going to be a loooooong pregnancy!!

11 week Ultrasound

I had my 2nd doctor's appointment on 1/22/10 and everything went well. I had another ultrasound done.....Rand and I sure love seeing our little baby! We also got to see and hear the heartbeat. God is so good! Technically this is our 11week 3day ultrasound.


Hint: The head can barely be seen on the left side; then comes the arm up in the air, abdomen, and the leg up in the air.


Hint: This is the head and the arm (like he/she might be sucking it's thumb)


Hint: The head on the left, abdoment, and you can see the hand close to the face (again, like he/she is sucking it's thumb)

Pre-Pregnancy Weight

Unfortunately, i couldn't find any better pictures that showed my pre-pregnancy weight very well. That's what happens when your always behind the camera and seldom in front of it. But this one will just have to do.

PRE-PREGNANCY STATS
Height: 5ft 2in
