Sitting on the potty...

While watching Fall Out Boy videos on an iPod Touch. Modern potty training. Lol.

Ultrasounds and baby names

So this was pretty cool. I had another ultrasound today, and they sent me home with an awesome pic of baby girl's foot!



We have been getting a lot of questions about names. I guess we will go ahead and give you four possible name choices like we did when we were pregnant with Jake. Her first name has been determined for a while, her middle name is still up in the air. If she is, in fact, born on Valentine's Day, her middle name will be Valentine (which is my maiden name). And heck, if she's born on my birthday, Feb 23rd, maybe she'll get Valentine too (I legally changed my middle name to Valentine once I got married, same as my Aunt Marianne, I always thought that was pretty cool).

If it were up to Jake, our daughter's name would be Robert. No thanks.

Okay, so in alphabetical order, here are four possible first names for baby girl Vasami:

Alexandra / Cameron / Devon / Taylor

What's your guess?

The Rockstar needed some tattoos

I will frequently give Jake some paper and highlighters to play with while I am trying to send out a few emails in my office. He normally delivers me some nice drawings. Today, after playing quietly (danger! danger!) for a few moments, he comes back into my office and says: "I'm a rockstar! I've got TATTOOS!" So much for trying to sneak in some work on non-work days.

We are having a...

So we had the ultrasound this afternoon. We are very excited to announce that we will be welcoming a baby G I R L !

It should be no big surprise to anyone that this is a girl, because this pregnancy has been completely different from when I was pregnant with Jake four years ago.

Morning sickness is starting to fade away, but still pops up 3 or so times a week, though not as severe. We are at week 17, so for those who are counting, this little girl has already given me morning/afternoon/evening sickness for four months straight. Thanks, my precious little miracle ;)

I have just started to feel a few kicks and am happy that we are finally being fit into my doctor's schedule. We had been a few weeks behind (the office is very busy) and are playing catch-up. We will have another appointment and ultrasound in two weeks, so we will get another peek to make doubly sure this is a girl. (Her 'region' looked nothing like what I remember Jake's 'region' looking like - lol.)
