Who says we can't choose a name for our baby in the hospital?
I asked myself that question this morning. Although not common practice, there really are no rules on the subject. We've narrowed down our list of names to a few favorites, but I find I cannot choose one because I just don't know if our son will look like a Levi or a Liam or a Koehn or an Aisen or a... you get the picture! I don't know if Kevin will agree with me (I'll discuss it with him tonight after work) but maybe we truly have to wait until we see our son to make the decision. After all, we like all of the names but the fact of the matter is the name must "match" our son's face and personality. I mean, we did not name our dogs without first meeting and interacting with them! Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on this topic?
In other news, Baby F is moving, kicking, jabbing, somersaulting and otherwise having a good ole' time in Mommy's tummy! This has been going on for a couple of weeks, but has become more frequent and noticeable. Yesterday I felt him kick from the outside. It was amazing! I just had to call Kevin and tell him the news. Daddy hoped he'd make it home to find him still as active, but no such luck! However, last night Baby F started in again (although I think he was jabbing at me, as it wasn't as strong) but Daddy still felt it. I wish you could have seen his eyes light up. Very exciting moment for us!
So far the movements feel weird/unusual but fun (the early morning party isn't nearly as fun--could it be Baby F is an early riser? Certainly didn't get that from us!). Although, I'm sure within the next few weeks I'll change my mind on just how fun it is. My back has really been bothering me. Not much anyone can do, although I do guilt Kevin into quite a few massages. They really are a God send--especially at 5:30 in the morning when I just cannot get back to sleep (after another trip to the bathroom) because of the pain. Other than that I am in good spirits and just enjoying the days as they fly by. I hear it slows down when you become the most miserable, so I am really trying to enjoy it while it lasts and savor every moment!
Yesterday I went and interviewed a possible pediatrician. After our discussion he went from a possibility to a definite YES! He is wonderful; very personable, knowledgeable and passionate about his job. I really think he's going to be a great match and am so thankful I was able to find someone who I truly feel will provide our little guy with great care! So that pretty much takes care of everything on the list of to-do's (that can be done now, anyways). Now, we're just waiting on Baby F's nursery set to arrive so we can start that project (it shipped yesterday and should be here early next week) and awaiting our first class in April!
