Little Question Mark

Whitney has taken to referring to the baby as Little Question Mark as we are still nowhere near to choosing a name for this little guy. Gavin votes for Bear, in honor of Bear Grylls of Man vs. Wild on the Discovery channel. My main worry with this is that we would have a nudist on our hands. As anyone who has seen the show knows, Bear seems to have a hard time keeping his clothes on. =D Whitney votes for Zachary, she says if we don't use it she will someday. This one is actually a pretty solid choice. And Ashlyn likes Jesus. Hmm...Jesus Weaver...uh, no. Somehow it just seems sacrilegious to name your child Jesus not to mention pretty daunting for a child to live up to. Meanwhile Chris and I keep hoping for a lightning bolt of inspiration but so far it has yet to strike.

I am 29 weeks along now so only 10 more weeks to go! (My doctor has already said we will go ahead and do the c-section at 39 weeks, so he should be arriving around May 14th.) I had a high definition ultrasound yesterday because they wanted to get a really good look at his heart since Ashlyn was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. Dr. Dobak pronounced his heart "gorgeous" though so no worries there. This was my second high definition ultrasound during this pregnancy and they are so much clearer, its amazing! His face was so clear and we could even see the individual hairs sticking up on his head. In the past I've just had the routine ultrasounds, no 3D's either so I was pretty impressed. The technician said he is weighing in at 3 lbs. 1 oz. All my babies have been very active but I think he takes the prize for the strongest.

A couple of weeks ago we finally started buying baby gear and I think this has really made the whole thing seem more real to Ashlyn and Gavin. Ashlyn loves to carry around an outfit or put a stuffed animal in his swing and push it. Or basically just fiddle around with all the baby stuff. She informed me that she wants her baby brother NOW! I think she honestly expected me to hand him over that instant and was pretty disappointed when he wasn't immediately produced for her enjoyment. Gavin keeps asking how much longer and talking about feeding him his bottle. (He loved to snuggle Ashlyn and feed her a bottle when she was a baby.) Chris is obsessed with finding the perfect crib bedding and is torn between the age old battle of price vs. the bedding of his dreams. With the added catch of matching Gavin's bedding with it. He has literally spent hours online searching.
