Talk about a surprise! Mind you a very welcomed surprise! I am very very excited about having a baby girl...in fact so excited that I could not sleep all night! I woke up thinking about her at 4:00 am and cannot go back to sleep! (hence...me writing this blog post at 5 am)
Everything went great at my appointment yesterday...bloodpressure...great 118/66....urine sample..normal...weight...NO WEIGHT GAIN!!! (which I believe makes me correct in stating that there was no way that I gained 5 pounds at my last visit...just like I said!...I love being right!!) But I will take it...I love having a "0" in the slot on my chart for weight gain!!! Baby looked great on the ultrasound too...baby had fluid in kidneys and bladder(the ultrasound tech said this was good meaning that everything was working properly)...heartrate...154 ( she will prob have the same low heartrate that I do I guess...haha)...and weighed in at little over 12 ounces!
The ultrasound was awesome! So cool to see my tiny baby move all around! And move all around she did...She already got in trouble by the ultrasound tech(Cindy)... cause she moved around sooooooo much it took Cindy forever to get her measurements...When she would be still, Cindy would tell us what she was doing! Baby girl was most comfortable with her one little arm behind her head like she was relaxing and the other hand and forearm were resting on her forehead, palm up....like she was saying whoas me! We might already have a Diva on our hands..haha! Her little feet were super cute with her little toes! She liked to rest her feet one on top of the other. But mainly she wiggled around and moved around and flipped around...she was not very cooperative for Cindy. Once Cindy got all of her pictures and measurements we went for a search of a tiny peepee. We found no penis....but we did find 3 little lines...signifying our girl status! Keith and I were dumbfounded! We both just knew it was a boy...like I said before...we even had our boy named and everything. Keith's quote to Cindy was...a boy would have been easier! and he is right!
Now we get to argue about a name and head bows...I of course want to put a giant head bow on her head the moment she comes out...hair or no hair...Keith says that no baby girl of his will have head bows the size of Montana and for sure if they have no hair!...The name that we argue about (meaning that I have a very strong feeling for this name and Keith can't stand it) is Ruby June Reasons....the other name that we both "like" is Brantley Alice Reasons. Ruby June has no family history....I just love the way it sounds! I can picture Ruby June running around with a head full of black curly hair(with a huge red bow) and enormous brown eyes and a cute frilly dress that her mother made her wear (but in all actuality all she wants to do is throw rocks and play in the mud)I can see her and my heart melts! Brantley Alice....on the other hand...is a great name...it is a family name (Brantley is my mom's maiden name and Alice is her middle name and Keith's Gran's name) It is a very pretty name and that will prob be her name since I normally give in on things anyway!...haha I just can't picture Brantley Alice...even tho both my mom and Gran have dark hair....I picture Alice having long blond hair...I guess I can blame Disney on that one (Alice in Wonderland)...I just don't see me having a blond headed girl. I don't see her being petite or dainty like I picture Alice as well...Brantley is a very unique girl's name...we have tons of boy cousins named Brantley but I would be the first to name a girl that...which would be totally cool! Like I said, I really do like Brantley Alice..I just have stronger feelings for Ruby June! I guess we will just see!
Over all very good appointment! Very excited about my baby...It seems so real now! I still can't feel baby girl move around but it may be cause she is always moving and there are no sudden movements for me to notice...haha Anyway, I love her and am thrilled! Now....lets go shopping!...ps..if you have any girl ideas for her nursery let me know!!!
Here she is:
I'm so excited for you! I like both of your names you have picked out. I had a roommate in college whose name was Alice and she had short black (somewhat curly) hair.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your excitement, what a wonderful time! Both names are nice but I love Ruby June, it's very "you". Either way, she'll look like her name. I'm so excited and happy for y'all!
