We have a name, but we're not telling you what it is :)
Everything is going well. Lots of baby movements, lots of Dr appointments due to some Behcet's issues.
Had our anatomy scan, baby still has a penis. Perfectly healthy! Have to go back next week to get some follow up pictures, because he wouldn't cooperate.
Pretty much done with all baby related items, just waiting on him to show up in December.
Jonas is pretty excited. He asks me every Friday (the day my week count changes, 21 today!) how big the baby is this week, and what's going on thats important this week.
I have anatomy scan pictures, and will share those later.

Movement!
I felt him move tonight! I'm 13 weeks and a few days.
I was using the doppler to listen to his heartbeat, and all I could hear was a whole lot of him moving around. I heard this huge thump, and sure enough, felt it!
I am sure I wouldn't feel anything if I hadn't been pressing so hard, but I'll take it!
Been working on the nursery. Got one more coat on one wall which I will finish tonight, then I have to cut in walls and corners and get baseboard in.

Baby BOY! and names.
We found out on Monday that we're having a baby boy! Blood tests confirmed it, and no trisomies.
Have out NT scan today to check for other issues but I am not really concerned. My folate is through the roof so the chances of clefts or brain issues aren't high.
We're stuck on 2 names, Maddox and August. I really like both, so it's hard.
Expect another update after NT scan :)

Had a meeting with the high risk Dr today. Nothing really to report, went over her concerns which are my vitamin deficiencies, Behcet's and my age.
Had a surprise ultrasound, too!
Jonas was there and he was so amazed at seeing the baby. It was so precious!
We did the first trimester screening, and the Verifi test which is a DNA test for defects.
We should know the baby's sex next week thanks to this test!
It's going to be really hard because we don't want to know the sex, we're going to have them put it in an envelope and give it to Angela so she can surprise us all.
Unless of course, I cave and have to know right away.
You can see little arms and legs now! So exciting!

Not much going on, for once!
The week before last we had our last appointment with the RE and I was officially released!
This is great news, it means they feel the pregnancy is viable and I no longer need their services. Yay!
I had my first real OB appointment last week.
June 3rd, I have an appointment with the MFM (Maternal fetal medicine, aka high risk Dr) where they will do the blood test to check for abnormalities and if we choose, sex of the baby.
June 11th, I have my big NT scan where they check a pocket of fluid behind the baby's neck and other things like palate, brain presence, and heart defects. Generally, this test has a tendency to give false positives, as it's a risk screening, meaning more testing but since we will have the blood test done, we will already know beforehand.
Thats pretty much it. Pretty boring here :)

Subchorionic Hemorrhage
They reiterated to me it was not a cause for concern. Its small, and they even released me from the RE today so I can move onto OB.
Still hard not to worry!
That said, baby is measuring 7w5d, and HR was 152! So the RE thinks its viable, so my stress level is finally down.. a little.

Baby Names. Yes, already.
So, in order to keep myself from obsessing over all the things that can go badly, I obsess over baby names!
I figure if I get sick of a name in 2 months, I need time for another one so we should probably start early.
Names in black are names we are currently considering. Names in red and ones that we don't agree on. Names crossed out are plain ol' VETOED.
Bold are favorites.

| Boy | Girl |
|---|---|
| Wyatt | Abigail |
| August | Eleanor |
| Logan | Victoria |
| Alexander | Cosette |
| Eloise | |
| Matthew | Edith |
| Seth | Elsie |
| Elijah | Cora |
| Ethan | Lauren |
| Caleb | Anabelle |
| Noelle | |
| Jane | |
| Rose |
I vetoed Virgil. I like the name, but not in this day. Jason vetoed Opie :( I dont even know who I married anymore.
We are solid on Abigail. That's 100% and it has been since I was pregnant with Jonas. The rest are contenders for middle names, and of course I might add to it. I really like Abigail Rose.
Boys, I like August a lot but I don't think it's masculine enough for Jason. He's still considering it. I like Wyatt a lot, too and Jason doesn't hate it, so there's that!
