Today we went to the Dr. for our first official appointment. We heard the heartbeat of the baby...strong and healthy! Dr. Parker asked me a few questions about dates, etc, did a pelvic exam and determined that I am a week and a few days further along than we originally thought and moved my due date up to April 13, 2009!! Excellent! One less week left until we meet our surprise! Evan is certain that it is a girl. When we told him we were expecting he said, "It's a sister!" Our conversation went as follows:
Me: We don't know if it will be a baby brother or a baby sister.
Evan: It's a sister, mommy. What's her name going to be?
Me: Well, we haven't really thought about a name. What do you think her name should be?
Evan: (Very thoughtfully) Her name should be. . . Kaylie.
Me: What should her middle name be?
Evan: (Again, very thoughtfully) Kaylie. . .Faye.
Me: That's a lovely name. How do you know that we are having a sister?
Evan: I just know.
Me: Did Heavenly Father tell you we were having a sister?
Evan: Yeah Mom, 'cuz when you hear that voice in your head, you just know!
I love the innocence of little children! They have such complete and honest faith! I hope, for Evan's sake, that it is a girl...I would hate to have to explain to him that Heavenly Father told him wrong!! I was quite impressed with his name choice though. Lately the names he makes up for things are very unique...like Otch, or Jujua. So we are pretty lucky that he chose Kaylie!! And just a side note, "Faye" was my grandmother's middle name...I think it was not coincidence that Evan pulled that name out of the air! So anyway, all looks healthy and good on the baby front and it's official! Baby #3 is for sure coming to join our family and we couldn't be more excited!!

Congrats!! I am hoping for a girl for you! :) Boys are so much fun though, but I am sure it would be nice to change things up a bit! That's what I'm hoping for our third, no I'm not pregnant. :) That is so exciting!

Whenever I wanted to see how far along I was, I would just look at your little baby calender! Well now you are earlier and I am later so there goes that convenience! In a week I'll be posting my own so that will help. Once again congratulations and we'll see you tomorrow.
I am so excited. It was funny because I looked at your baby countdown the other day and it said 9 weeks and then the next day it said 11 and I was confused so I am glad that I didn't lose a week of my life and not realize it!! I am so happy for you. I hope for Evan's sake it's a girl and for your sake as well girls are super fun!! Love ya!!
