I had another doctor's appointment today. Just a checkup. Mom and Jake came up and stayed with me yesterday and today and went to my appointment. B is developing nicely and we heard the heartbeat.
whooshwhooshwhooshwhoosh is what it sounded like to me.
My next appointment is Tuesday, August 11th at 3:30pm. This is the day we've all been waiting for (aside from the actual birth). This is the day when we will find out if B is a girl or a boy. Woot! My mom is coming and Nana is coming and Cheli is coming and also maybe Calysta. And Wilson, of course. If anyone else would like to come, you're more than welcome...I have requested the big 3D IMAX room for the ultrasound. Should be quite a show. With quite an audience.
I have thought of new names! Well, I'm still sticking to Kyle or Sophie for a girl but I've been going back and forth with the boys names. So, added to the list is: Maddox, Dean, and Oliver. I can't seem to pick a name that a lot of people like, however. My mother hates Maddox because apparently Angelina Jolie named her kid that. A couple of other people don't like Dean because with a name like Dean Addison, he is surely going to be winning "Artist of the Year" at the CMT awards. And clearly, Oliver sounds like something you would name a pet. An orange tabby, for example. Sheesh. I know that there's no pleasing everyone and I should just pick a name that I like (and one that Wilson likes, too, I suppose) but it's difficult.
I've started having wilson take a picture of my belly each week. To spare your eyes, I'm not going to post them on my blog, but just know that so far, there isn't a lot of change between the last few weeks. 15 weeks looks like 16 weeks looks like 17 weeks. Meh.
Is a turnip a fruit? No, I know it's not. But throughout my pregnancy, babycenter.com has been likening the height and weight of B to different fruits. Lemons, avacados, figs. But all of the sudden, this week B weighs as much as a turnip. What gives?
This post is not very exciting but I felt bad because I haven't updated in awhile. BUT the next post will be oh-so-exciting.
On my next post, on August 11th, I will post a picture of either a big ol penis or a squeaky pink vagina. Won't that be exciting?!?
teehee.
I did not say that I "hated Maddox". I merely said that that's the name of one of the Jolie-Pitt tribe and as such I did not care for it. I especially don't like that they refer to him as "Mad" in their publicity blurbs. And if I never have to sit through one of their movies again it will be too soon. Mr. and Mrs. Smith SUCKED.
ReplyDeleteMy friend who likes unusual names has two girls named Shiloh and Mallory and a son named Lincoln. And I know a gal named Michael that I work with who is sweet as can be. Good luck on the baby names. You'll never be able to please everyone, so go with what you and Wilson like.
ReplyDeleteIhad a friend Faye who was my best friend through school (she died a few years ago--way too young). Her oldest child Tracy has a daughter named Shiloh. I am looking forward to seeing you, Karie. It has been a long time since I saw you in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteDean sounds like a winner! Sophie is also a strong one. I think Mama really does hate Maddox, and she should. You don't want to stick that kid with being the Mad Add.
ReplyDeleteah, you're right. I dont want Mad Add. Thanks for pointing that out!
ReplyDeleteThe whole time Taylor was here, Owen (Jenna's 4 year old) couldn't remember his name and he'd always say, "Colter." So, maybe that would be a good name for your offspring, if it's a boy.
