We might have an early arrival...

Had my doctors appointment yesterday and all is going well. Baby Fore has "dropped" and is getting ready for her grand entrance. My doctor thinks there is a chance that she will be ready to go next week but he will know more at my next appointment this coming Monday.

Here are some pictures of me (and Abbey) and of the nursery.

New picture and possibly a name?

Hope everyone is doing well! T-minus three weeks and counting!

Had another doctor appointment today. I've gained a pound which puts me at 30 lbs total now. Also, we are still on track for a 3/3/08 due date. It seems all the walking I've done this past week has not done a bit of good...our daughter is quite content in her little home. We will see if this is still the case next Tuesday when I go see the doc again. I'm guessing it will be.

The doctor let me know that Dave is welcome in the operating room for the birth and he can view as much or as little as he wants. I'm guessing it will be on the little side based on his face when I told him this. I told him he's free to see what he wants...all I need is for him to stay upright and make sure he doesn't need more medical attention than I do. I think when the time comes he will be just fine.

So...drumroll please....its true, we have a name. However, hate to spoil the fun but we are keeping it to ourselves. Come on... we need to keep something a surprise since we found out the sex and even have the date and time scheduled!! I will tell you all that this a new name. Some of you probably knew that we were deciding between two names...I liked one and Dave liked the other. I think we both realized that we didn't want the other to have to compromise so we came up with a new name. This beautiful name is very feminine and will fit her perfectly at any age. Its most definitely not on the list of the 10 most popular names- which is what we wanted - but then again its not Apple weird.

Dave and I also got certified in adult and infant CPR tonight. Figure its best to be prepared with a little one around. Of course you hope that you will never have to use it but at least we know what to do now.

Hmm...Eli Fore??

Yes we actually briefly considered naming Baby Fore Eli since Peyton's little brother has spared us 30 excruciating years of listening to Patriots fans talk about how they are the best ever....barf. So glad we don't have to endure that! Go Giants!

Had my first weekly doctor appt today. Weight is still at 29lbs so I think that automatically gives me the go ahead for more chocolate shakes. Baby Fore is head down and positioned correctly. She was actually breech at our last ultrasound (19 weeks) but as many babies do, she got herself turned around and situated correctly. No shocker to me to find out that it's her cute little feet that are playing footsie with the right side of my ribcage.

She actually had the hiccups during this appointment and the doc once again said that hiccups are a sign of a healthy baby! Always a good thing to hear.

Looks like we are still on track for a March 3rd due date as of today. I will spare you all the details of how we know this...let's just say that these appointments are a little more invasive than the quickie appointments I'm used to.

We will see if this is still the case next Monday when we get to do it all over again. Good times!
