Hi Baby!
Happy Thanksgiving and happy 9 weeks old. Today is bittersweet because we are so thankful for you & your brother but I won't be able to shout that from the rooftops as I am really trying to make it until Christmas to spill the beans! So, please know that we are very thankful for you & you growing in there.
This past week, you have still been good to me. Only a bit of nausea - much less than in all my other pregnancies. I still am leaning towards you being a girl since you are being so darn nice to me :)
I was looking at my family tree as I am having a very difficult time figuring out what to name you. I came up with a few possibilities but I don't think any of them are sticking yet. We have 28+ weeks to figure it out!
I have been feeling a bit sad for you lately, squid. I did such a good job writing on this blog for the twins in 2008 and Elijah in 2009. Now, you are on your way and I am out of wisdom to share with you. For my most "deep" thoughts, I can only refer to their books. I guess you will be experiencing "2nd child syndrome" really early!
Well baby - 1 more week until we see you again. Enjoy all the good food today & I will try to take it somewhat easy on the sugar :)

First visit to Dr. Bonehead!
Hi little squid!
Daddy calls Elijah squidward but you are also a little squid - you are still a little worm shape and no baby shape in there. We are 8 weeks today so it was time to go visit Dr. Bonehead. He is in a brand new office clear out west - we have to pack a lunch to go see him. It was good to see him and joke around with him. But, the best part was that we were able to see you again! Your heartbeat was good and strong.
I don't think we are going to have our surgery until the very last few days of December. I was hoping to get it sooner but it didn't sound like there was any negotiating to be done! The good news is that we will get to see you at 10 weeks and at 12 weeks. After that, we will probably go monthly and we can all relax because you will be sewn in tight.
As far as being pregnant, you are being pretty darn good to me. I am exhausted - a lot! I am not doing too badly with the morning sickness - it is pretty mild so far. For that reason alone, I think you are a girl. But, I also thought Elijah was a girl and look where that ended up! Like with all my pregnancies, I am craving a lot of fruit. No mexican this time though - it doesn't even sound good. Another indicator that you are not a boy!
Right now, my biggest stress is your name. We have you all settled for a boy but a girl is so up in the air. I really thought that you would be Baby J whether you were a boy or girl but now I don't think so. It is so stressful to come up with something that will be with you for the rest of your life. I hope, that like Elijah, a name will divinely come to me that will suit you perfectly.
Well squid, we will see you again in 2 weeks. Please stay in there cooking and keep the hormone juice to a minimum!

First glimpse...
Hi baby J,
we got to see you today buddy! It was nerve wracking and exciting. Nerve wracking to make sure there was only one of you and exciting to make sure you were in there and growing. Your heart beating jumped out immediately on the screen so we knew you were in there kicking! You were beating 148 a minute and you were 12cm long. I said a prayer thanking God that you existed, were healthy and you were in there by yourself!
Next up: We have an appointment with Dr. Bonebrake next Thursday. We will figure out when our surgery will be. We will get to see you again in just one week!
PS. We did get a photo of you today but it is really hard to see anything besides a fat little worm looking baby :)
