Tick Tock.

4 weeks and counting until the arrival of "lady baby"! Presley comes with me to my now weekly doctor appointments and insists that the doctor listen to the baby's heartbeat in her belly--thankfully my doctor is great with little kids and has put her up on the table and "listened" to her belly's heartbeat each time.



The baby moves a ton and is kicking my ribs constantly (not quite as much a P did but close). She is in the right position but is still pretty high in my belly. With any luck I am going to hope the doctor is right when he says labor should be about half the time it was for Presley! I wouldn't be opposed if she decided to come a bit early . . . I am getting so uncomfortable.

We still have NO names (looks like it may be a repeat of Presley--a no name baby until we get her home from the hospital for a day or two). Any suggestions? Presley is still stuck on "Lady Baby" or a list of her friends names and today she told me she would name the baby "Mom". That might be confusing . . . we are open for suggestions.

I hope you are early too! As for names, we are right there with you. Not one. Isabelle says we should name him "Baby" and that is sounding better to me all the time. So if you have any boy suggestions send them my way. If we had a girl I really like Sophie or Sophia. Best of luck!

I can't believe it's so soon! Although it probably feels longer for you. Working in the NICU I can give you lists of names NOT to name your child...
Olympia Surpise
Neveah (heaven spelled backwards)
Pebbles
Jesus (it works for a boy or a girl)
etc...
