16 Week Checkup/Baby Name Train

     We had our 16 week checkup with Dr. Cole this morning.  The doc gives a good report other than the fact that I am still a pound under my pre-pregnancy weight.  He has told me to fatten up (although not in those words).  We heard the heartbeat for the first time today since baby did not cooperate necessitating an ultrasound at our last appointment.  These days I must say that is the most comforting sound.  Since I am unable to feel baby move yet waiting 4 or 5 weeks between appts for the doctor to tell me baby is still okay in there is hard.  Im sure ever mother, especially with their first, struggles with that to some degree.  

     I am telling husband we need to get on the Baby Name Train now.  I know we don't have to have a name ready to go when we find out what we're having but I sure want to.  Im so ready to refer to this baby by name and especially by the correct gender!  Girl names seem to be easy so no worry there.  Boy names on the other hand-we have not found one that we both like.  Husband is proving to be quite a bit more picky than myself.  I think he has mentioned maybe one name in the thousands we looked at that he sorta likes and guess what?  I don't like that one at all.  I guess it'll come to us but Im lacking patience.

     Our appt. to find out whether we are having a boy or girl is Friday, Oct. 3rd-five weeks from today.  These are going to be a very long five weeks.

     For those of you keeping track of us please keep us in your prayers.  We are going through a lot of life change right now even outside of expecting or first child.  We are leaning on the Lord to provide and for Him to be our comfort.  It seems when things go wrong it is always at the worst possible time but I know He has a plan and through it all He will prove faithful.
