21 Weeks and a Name

Tonight I went to the doctor as I am now 21 weeks, 1 day. I have gained 6 pounds since my last visit and weighed in at 152. The way I figure it, I've carried 155 pounds before in college and I wasn't pregnant so I've been there, done that. My next visit will be September 8th and then the appointments start rolling in more frequently after that. Everything from my 2nd trimester screening for genetic abnormalities came back negative, so that is great! We heard the baby's heart beat again and it just gets sweeter all the time. I asked my doctor about baby's BPM being 167 at the ultrasound last week but he said that is normal for his size. He said it will slow down a little bit as our boy gets bigger. He also said it may even get that high again if the baby gets excited.

Another piece of news is that we are 100% decided on our boy's name... Nathan. Still working on the middle name... ***you can help by voting in the poll on the left side of the page**

  1. Congradulations, it's a boy!! I think Nathan is the perfect name...it's classy and has a good meaning (means "God has given", which you probably already know). Much love, Andres & Joy
