Our doctors appointment on Monday went great! Baby G is actually measuring about 4 days ahead and had a strong heartbeat at 170bpm. My doctor isn't changing my due date but said that based on my history and measuring big...we should be prepared for baby by mid-September. Oh boy (or girl)!! All my blood work came back in a normal range and the doctor is pleased. This week the baby is the size of a lime and will have a huge growth spurt over the next 3 weeks, doubling in size. I can tell because my pants are getting a little snug.
Carli and I were talking the other night and she asked about the sex of the baby. I told her we still don't know, but God does. She seemed ok with that for now but suggested we name the baby Zoey if it's a girl and Porcupine if its a boy. When I told her a porcupine was an animal, she said "I think that is ok". We have had a little difficulty adjusting after daylight savings time and after my travel last week, Carli is extremely clingy to mama. I can't help wonder how she will react when she has to "share" me.
On St. Patrick's Day, Nick and I have officially been together for 10 years! My, how time flies! On one hand it seems like we were just kids back then and have come SO far. On the other hand, I feel like we are still those young, thin, fun kids we once were....at least at heart!!
