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!
