Here we go again!

Well, I've started up this blog again to chronicle the milestones of my third pregnancy! Today I had my second visit with Sherry, my midwife. I had hoped we could hear the heartbeat at this appt., but she couldn't find it. Baby is still really little and gets away from the Doppler easily. We could hear the placenta loud and clear, though. :) I'm somewhere between 12-14 weeks. My own calculations put me at around 12-ish; Sherry's wheel thingy puts me at about 13 weeks, 5 days. So I guess for clarity's sake we'll just go with her dates unless we find out differently later in the pregnancy.

The rest of the visit was good. My b/p is fine so far, right on normal numbers. My blood work came back fine. I haven't gained any weight yet (yay!) but I'm sure I will start packing it on before long.

Some of our good friends who live nearby watched our kids while Jim and I went to the appt. It was a blessing to have some alone time and a pizza date afterwards!

I guess that's about all the pregnancy news I have to report so far! Not too much exciting stuff yet. :)

Question of the Week: I am starting to think a little bit about names. One interesting thing (that we didn't plan) is that Sam and Julia's names both contain the letters A, U, and L. I am curious if any of you can think of other names that contain those 3 letters? Not that we are set on using those letters in every kid's name or anything, I just thought it would be neat to see what names you all could think of. Who knows, maybe we'll end up using one of them. I have a couple that I have come up with so far. But basically we don't have any idea yet what we will name this new little one! I'm sure we'll come up with some good choices in time, though. :)
