So we had our Ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. One of the weird things that happened was that Baby Abel was measuring 8 days ahead of where he should have been. So instead of measuring 19 weeks and 3 days, he measured 20 weeks and 4 days. Not too big of a deal but when we went to our appointment the next week, the nurse told me that I was 21 weeks and 1 day. So I could be 21 weeks (based on our first ever ultrasound) or 22 weeks (based on the most recent ultrasound). I didnt ask about changing my due date so Im sticking with my original right now. Ill probably ask at my next appointment. At our last appointment, Baby Abel sounded good and everything went well. The doctor said my ultrasound results looked good and everything looked normal. They didnt get a good picture of where the umbilical cord inserts into the placenta so I have to get a follow up ultrasound at my next appointment. The next appointment will be interested. I also have to do the Gestational Diabetes screen. So I get to go in, drink the GD drink, get an ultrasound, give blood, then see my doctor. Im gonna be there for like 3 or 4 hours. Crazy! But itll be nice to see him again and see what he is up to.
I feel him every day these days. Last Saturday, Brad even got to feel him kick when he was kicking pretty hard. He moves every morning and every night, actually right now he is moving around doing something. He is definitely an active little boy. Im sure that spells disaster for Brad and I :).
We have chosen a name for him already. He is James Bradley Abel Jr. James runs in both of our families and Jrs run in mine. We just figured that was the best way to go...not to mention I like it :). We havent decided what to call him yet. Brad doesnt like James and I dont want to call him Bradley (in case family calls the name and they both answer). We are leaning towards JB right now but I have the feeling Im gonna end up calling him Lil B or something like that. Anyway...enough ranting on and on.
