This morning I had my third OB appointment. All looks great with Little Sweets!!! I will be seeing my doctor every other friday until I am 36 weeks. Once I am 36 weeks I will be seeing my OB every Friday.
Today in the waiting room Little Sweets and I were having some fun with each other :-) The baby would poke my belly and I would poke back. We did this back and forth for a good 5 mins. People in the waiting room must have thought I was crazy!! I would stare at my belly, wait for the poke, smile and giggle then poke back!! LOL
The doctor told me today that the head is officially down!!! Pretty crazy eh!
That would explain all the pressure I've been feeling lately. The baby is getting ready to make his/her big entrance into the world :-)
The heart beat today was 144. I asked the doctor if he thought I was having a boy or girl based on the heart beat and he laughed and said "well....144 is right in the middle, so I have no idea! If it was 150 I'd say girl, if it was 140 I'd say boy, but since it's right in the middle, I am not sure?!"
I was speaking to Jenn on my way back to the office and she said "Devin...Little Sweets is doing everything possible to keep his/her gender a secret eh-it's actually quite funny!!". In my last ultrasound the baby had his/her legs crossed so the technician couldn't see the gender and now the heart beat is right in the middle of being either a boy or a girl. Little Sweets must be just like mommy; one who loves surprises!!! He/she is doing a good job keeping daddy and I in suspense that's for sure! lol
I have some exciting news!! We think we finally found our boys name; PRAISE GOD!!! It only took 5 years of marriage and 8 months of pregnancy to pick one! LOL
Dennard actually picked the name. We were discussing spelling on Wednesday and decided on a spelling we both really liked.
We have been saying our girl's and boy's names around the house recently to get a feel of what they will sound like when we call or speak to our child. lol It's acutally quite humorous to hear us calling these names as if the child is really there. We make ourselves laugh sometimes!!
I will post a new pic of my belly tonight when I get home. My blog is due for an updated belly shot :-)
How exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteHead down is an excellent sign! I'm still voting that little Sweets is a boy.
I just feel it since the begining..LOL
Good for him/her to keep themselves a surprise! LOL since that's exactly what you would want :)
I found boy names the hardest to pick out, I'm so happy that you guys picked out your names! I found it fun to call the kids by their names when they were still in my belly. Just made it real.
Enjoy every moment!!! Its almost time for Little Sweets to Arrive!!
LOL!! Did you know that you are one of the only people I know who have kept their gender guess the same throughout my whole pregnancy :-) From day one you said 'boy' and you've stuck to it. For everyone else, their guess changes from day to day...lol
DeleteI remember you picked your children's names out very soon in your pregnancy. I wish it was that easy for us!lol The girl name we knew from years ago, but the boy name as you know has been a bit of a challenge.
Both boy and girl names that we have selected have very strong and beautiful meanings; we love it! Can't wait to share the names with you once Little Sweets is here :-) It's hard to keep them a secret....lol
lol you know me...I'm all about consistency! hahaha
DeleteI am so amazed that you are able to keep the names a secret. I had a hard time not sharing once we had Daniel's name down.
Vivian was vivian as soon as we knew. We just started calling the belly vivi.
I'm certain that the name you picked will be perfect! I can't wait to hear it!!! & Meet Little Sweets!!!
hey hey, i guessed you were having a girl, lol, still think so! LOL I always think people are having girls though, and I am usually wrong! Haha! MAybe I can be right this once?
DeleteYes boys names are tough, for me it wasnt finding the name, it was agreeing on the name! God just gave us a girl to make it easier! And wheres the updated belly pick? haha!
I never knew you thought I was having a girl!! lol You never told me!
DeleteI haven't forgotten the updated belly pic...lol...I just have to find time to get Dennard to take one for me. Hopefully tomorrow :-)
Ps. Hope you enjoyed your anniversary night away!!!!!!
Good for you! As you know, we couldn't agree on a boy name all the way up to my delivery! Lol! I'm glad you got that picked out :). Boys names are hard!
ReplyDeleteBoys names are harder than I ever thought!! I never would have imagined it taking us this long to pick a name.
ReplyDeleteDennard was sold on 'DeAndre' for months, but I 'really' don't like that name!! lol
the anticipation is killing me! lol but i like that its all going to be a surprise
ReplyDeletei think ur having a boy! this whole time i really didnt know and i never guessed anything and as i was reading ur blog my mom came down and she started asking questions about your pregnancy (btw my mom loves you lool) and through describing to her how your carrying a stuff i finally came to the conclusion! cant wait to see if im right!
you and Dennard were always a couple that i just couldnt wait to see how your kids were going to look-so boy or girl im excited lol
You are too cute Amy :-) The anticipation kills us sometimes too-trust me! lol But the excitement of the surprise is what keeps us grounded. lol
DeleteThere are not many things in life you can be truly 'surprised' about, but this is one of them :-)
That is so cute that your mom was asking questions about our pregnancy! She is so sweet! Please tell her I say 'hello'.
I should do a contest of those who guess the baby's gender correctly, but I think I'd be broke at the end giving out prizes to all those who were right since the votes are 50/50 for boy or girl. LOL
