2 month countdown...

Today was the start of my 2 week appointments vs. only once a month. Not much new to report. I gained 3 1/2 lbs. in the last 3 weeks, so a total of 23 1/2 to date! The nurse was able to find Baby's heartbeat as soon as she put the little machine to my belly and it was 150bpm this time. We talked about pediatricians, so now Dave and I have a bit of "homework" to do to pick which doctor we want to see our baby when we're at the hospital. I printed out all the bios for the doctors that are at the location closest to our house and there are 6 to choose from, so I think we're good to go. It's funny because my friends at work talk about how I'm all organized with printing out my lists of things for the baby and doctor options etc. but yet I didn't find out the sex of the baby to be the "most organized" that I possibly could be. I laugh too because it's a good point. I just think this is the last big surprise we have and when we call everyone to give them the news, there will be that much more anticipation for us to tell you what we actually had!

On another note, a friend gave us a baby name book to use and I'm not sure if it's helping or hindering...so far we've made it through all the boy names and we have 21 options! Now, I know the baby needs a first and middle name, but 21 names is definitely excessive. We haven't started even going through the girl names and we already have 10-12 names! I told Dave we need to narrow the list down to at least 5 of each sex and if we still can't decide, we'll bring the list to the hospital....Baby can always be "Baby Hickman" for the first few hours of life. One thing I can count on Dave for is if the name has anything to do with a car part manufacturer, he tends to like it....he cracks me up!! I think we'll definitely be able to narrow the field down in the next 2 months though.

That's it for now...this weekend is the 32 week picture time and in another 2 weeks I'll maybe have some new doctor update.
