We Have A Name at 21 Weeks!

I tried to post about six times yesterday. Every time I did, Blogger was not working. So frustrating. All well, now it is working.

Baby is doing good! She is moving a lot, it is very low and it tickles me quite a bit. The doctor said she is a big girl. She is measuring about 3-4 days ahead of what I am estimated to be due and she weighs over a pound already(as of two weeks ago at 19 weeks). She is also longer-in the 75%-which I was thrilled about. Poor Emma just made it on the charts with her height at her last well appointment at 18 months. Maybe this baby will be a little taller?? My doctor was happy with my cervix length so we do not have to do ultrasounds every month now. I was sad and happy about that-I don't want to see the costs of it, but I looked forward to seeing her every month in my belly! I do have to have one more ultrasound at 28 weeks because we could not get a good visual of her mouth. They just want to check and make sure she doesn't have cleft palate or anything. So, that makes me nervous just because that is the purpose of the whole ultrasound. I am sure everything is fine though.
We have also picked out a name for the baby. She will be Madelyn Grace. We will call her Maddie while she is little and when she gets older she can decide what she wants people to call her. I am so in love with this name. Brandon pretty much picked it out and I was pretty impressed!

Emma is doing great as well. She is talking so much and just becoming a little adult. She is so independant and loves to give Mama heart attacks. She is really becoming a Daddy's Girl too. It is kind of sickening at times! :) It is sweet. She loves to help me pick up her toys-which is nice because I am starting to get at the point where it is getting harder and harder for me to bend over and then stand back up!! I need to get a belly shot because I am big! I just popped out when I turned 12 weeks and my belly has never looked back. Emma loves to hear her sister too, she loves it when I break out the Doppler. She gives my belly a kiss and tells the baby hi and then bye! It is too precious. She is just the sweetest thing ever.

You can really tell I am a mom because I don't have too much more news right now--all about the kids in this post! I am a little proud! ;) What can I say....God has truly blessed me with them!
