Week 13

Had another appointment today. Nothing really happened. The nurse checked the heartbeat with the doppler and was able to find it this time...hooray! (And she didn't push as hard as she did last time) It was at 166 so still really high, but starting to go down. Everybody's convinced we're having a girl (including me). They think it's because of the heart beat, I think it's because of the crazy dreams I've been having. We're either having a girl, or a gender confused boy. Every dream I have where we have the baby, it's a girl. And then the other night I had a dream that the doctor gave me this in home test thing that had like the nerf dart styrofoam things and you stuck to your belly. The first one I did I stuck to the middle of my belly and it came back a boy, but then I was reading the directions and it said it had to be placed over the ovary that released the egg (weird since most people don't know this...fortunately I do, LOL). So I did that and it came back a girl that time.

I'm also hoping for a girl because Troy and I are about to start the next Civil War over boys names. He told me the other day he likes the name "Raine" for a boy....................(I'll just let that soak in for a minute).......................All I could think was "Really, I'm having a baby with this man?!" I think he's confused because we both like the name "Rayna" for a girl, but we already have a different girls name picked out. My top name for a boy is Parker. I'm still a little on the fence about it, I have a few other names that I also like.

Our next appointment is at week 17, I believe that puts us at January 12...Not 100% sure on the date. Then shortly after that we'll get to find out the sex. At our next appointment we'll be seeing a different doctor, mainly because the one I'm seeing now will be on maternity leave but also because she can do everything but deliver the baby so I was already prepared to see other doctors. Hopefully we like the new one, if not there's another one at the office a friend saw and said she really liked so we might try him also.
