17 weeks

Yesterday I had a baby dr. appointment and found out I am 17 weeks.  I have a hard time keeping track this time around.  I think everything looks good.  I was a little nervous for a split second when the baby was measuring less than 17 weeks and she was having a hard time finding the heartbeat.  But Brooke was really low too.  (Does that mean it's a girl?)  The heartbeat was 130-140.  (Does that mean it's a boy?)   Brooke's heartrate was always low too.  Well, we will find out in 2 weeks!  I was able to schedule my sonogram for my birthday!  That will be fun!  We are trying to think of a fun way to tell everyone.  With the other kids we just told, but we want to do something different and fun this time.  If you have any suggestions let me know!

After we find out if the baby is a boy or a girl we will have to start thinking about names again.  You would think we have done this enough times we would have one ready to go.  Agreeing on a name is SOO hard for us.  If it's a boy I know what name Scott is going to want.  It's not a bad name, just not my first choice.  He really doesn't like any of the names I like, so I will probably settle for something he suggests.  I know it won't affect how much I love the child.  Addison, Luke and Brooke were all names he picked out and now I absolutely love those names.  And to give him credit each time I have been in labor he has told me I can name the baby whatever I want. :)

Check back in about 2 weeks to watch the video of how we find out if our baby is a he or a she!
