News about Baby Girl

So awhile back I said I would update about the baby and now I am finally finding free time to do that. I am still pregnant which is bad news for me and good news for the baby. I am so done emotionally and physically at this point but I know I need to endure just a little while longer.

I went to the doctor yesterday and I think I left the appointment floating in the clouds, which is good news. Originally my due date based off of my cycle would be May 17th but then the doctor changed it to May 27th after some ultrasounds done a few months ago. So people are asking me when I am due and I was saying anywhere in the next 4 to 6 weeks. For expecting mothers this is a huge range to live with. So when I was in to see my doctor, I asked him if he could narrow down the dates to help give me a better idea, if things would be sooner or later. I should also mention when I had an ultrasound down two weeks ago the baby was reading 10 to 14 days bigger at that point. Plus the way I feel and how many contractions I have already been having I really felt things would be sooner than later, but I am not the doctor. Anyway my doctor officially moved my due date back up to May 17th and said if I don't have her before then he would induce me on May 20th. So there you go there is light at the end of the tunnel. Plus you may have noticed I changed the countdown box on the blog to reflect the new information, so you can truly see how soon things will happen.

I should also take this time to mention, that earlier on another post I said we where going to name her Megan Marie. I need to say that right after I went public with that a neighbor named her daughter Megan. I know that should not change or effect our name, but it did for me. Kerry is still sticking to his guns and thinks we should do Megan. But he is being patient enough with me to allow me to re look at baby names. I know, I know it is crazy and you are probably thinking, what is my problem, if you want to have that conversation with me, call and I'll give you my reasons. So the whole point is, she still might be Megan or don't be shocked when she has arrived and we tell you a different name.
