The Name Game

Hi Everyone! We've been anxiously awaiting our next ultrasound appointment on July 6th, but we've been keeping busy planning and discussing the baby! One thing that we have decided is that we are not going to find out the sex of the baby at our next ultrasound. We decided that, for this pregnancy at least, the surprise during delivery would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In the meantime, we've been throwing around lots of boy and girl names so that we have a selection to choose from when the time comes! While we plan on keeping the name a secret from everyone until the baby is born, we'd also like your help in picking our top choices, since we have so many names that we like! You can click on the link below to "vote" on some of our name choices. Don't worry - votes are completely anonymous, and we won't be offended if we get some "no" votes on ones that we like (and it won't keep us from choosing that name for the baby either!) we just want everyone's honest opinion! Plus we thought everyone would enjoy a sneak peak at some of the names that we like! :)

Strong, healthy heartbeat!

We had another appointment today at the University of Chicago. Everything looked great - we didn't get an ultrasound, but I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat and it sounded strong and healthy! The doctor still wants to see me one more time before I'm released back to Edward, so I will go again on July 6th for an ultrasound and consultation. I had to go solo on this one, since Sam is at home with the flu! What a terrible way for him to spend his first day of summer break! I'm going to take him to the immediate care center in Plainfield in a little while to get some antibiotics, so hopefully it won't last too long!
I only have 4 more days of school left, and then I'm on summer break! I can't wait to relax and enjoy being pregnant!
