I was asking Keaton the other night which of the names he liked. That is when Casey mentioned something about letting the kids name this baby. I told him that was an interesting thought, that as long as him and I narrow it down, that would be fine! I think!!

My last dr appt went pretty good. All looks great! I am at 142lbs, blood pressure looked good at 110/70. It took him a bit to get the heartbeat! I guess the little bean sprout was moving around ALOT!! He did finally get it thou and said it was in the 140's. He told me that we would probably have my u/s at 26 weeks, at which point I reminded him that he said between 18 & 20 he would do it...my next appt I will be at 17 weeks, so he said we will do it at the appt after that at 21 weeks...I didnt fight him on that. He said he wanted to wait until 21 weeks since all looked good at the last u/s. I reminded him that all looked good with Carli at 10 weeks too!! He told me that he has his fingers and toes crossed that all is going to be good this time, and that he is even hoping I wont have to have a blood transfusion this time...I laughed and told him that was wishful thinking!! I had 2 with Carter, and one with Keaton and Carli, so I will more than likely have one this time too!! He told me he will have my blood down here ready to go, since it has to be typed and crossed since I have some weird duffy antibody. Next appt is set for Oct 29th!!

One of the girls from one of the message boards I go to mentioned asking the dr about seeing if I could donate my own blood. I thought that was an interesting concept. I will ask him at my next appt.

I will also tell you how impatient I am. I think I am going to call Baby Images in the mall to see if I can get an early gender check at 16 weeks. That is where I went with Carli, and the first time I went, they told me they were pretty sure she was a girl, but had me come back at 18 weeks and did another check, where they told me they were SURE she was a girl!! I am sure I will post here as soon as I find out what this bean sprout is!!

I really want another little girl. I know I must have said it 3 million times. I feel guilty sometimes since I want a little girl so bad!! Dont get me wrong, I will love having another little boy if that is what is meant to be, but I cant even tell you how I felt when I found out Carli was my little girl!!

I have found that I do pretty good when people ask me some of the crazy questions that they do!! One of my customers came in to the pharmacy about a week ago and asked me what baby #4 was...I told her a little girl named Carli Mae. She said, "Oh, how great!! You evened it out at home..." At that point I sighed and said well, kinda. Then I told her about Carli and what happened. You could just see the look!! After telling her that, she told me that if she had known, she wouldnt have said anything. That is when I told her that I LOVE talking about Carli!! I told her next time she came in that maybe I would have my little book of pictures of her!

I will have to see if I can post a few of the pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch this year!! But for now...I am off of here to finish getting Keaton ready for the sitter!!
