I had my monthly OB checkup this morning...at 8am...ugh. I was very tired, so I may not remember everything that happened. It was the first time the doctor actually had a belly to measure. I am unsure of the measurement, but he said "everything looks good." I am guessing it was right on target. He then tried to listen to the heartbeat and as soon as he put the cold doppler to my belly, she turned/moved and he had to find it again. I wouldn't want something cold pressing on me either that early in the morning. However, I have noticed a slight trend in her kicking patterns. She seems to be really active when first waking up. This trait is nothing like her mother...I am grouchy and don't want to be talked to or looked at until atleast I have had time for breakfast to digest. Yes, it takes that long. However, her daddy is much different...he can spring out of bed and be cheerful and awake in about 2 seconds. So, I do believe baby girl is taking on daddy's morning cheerfulness. Then again, she is very active right before bed, which makes me think just the opposite. Daddy can lay down and be knocked out in 2 seconds, while it takes me about 20 minutes to fall asleep after I have tossed and turned about 500 times. She has a little bit of both in her I suppose.
David and I have nicknamed her "kickin wing" like chicken wing because the first time I really felt her strong enough to startle me was after I had eaten chicken wings. As for her real name, we have officially decided on a name, but are trying to keep it a secret. I figured since everyone knows the gender, why not have a little fun and keep the name to mommy and daddy until her birthday. Plus, I don't get any "ahh, but I like this other name better" or blank stares. I believe her name was just meant to be...it's like she had that name from the moment she was conceived. It's her. I love it. Fits her personality so well already. Wait, I lied...my mom knows her first name...so NO ONE better go bug her. I don't think she knows the middle name, atleast not officially. I don't know for sure if I will be able to keep her name a secret...we'll see how long it lasts (anyone who knows me knows I have NO patience).
That is all the update I have on baby girl for now...22 weeks down, 18 weeks to go! Wow.
