12 weeks

Hi baby!
We were officially 12 weeks yesterday and we got to see you again at the doctors office.  You were sleeping at first and I had a touch of panic as you weren't moving and I couldn't see your heart fluttering.  Then, you were all over the place.  Sorry kiddo - no photos again.  Your poor scrapbook is empty - just one photo of all the pee sticks we took to make sure you were cooking in there.

We have big plans the next two weeks and I am so excited.  First off, next weekend, we get to tell everyone about you.  WOOHOO.  No more secrets.  No more people wondering why I am on the wagon or why I may just plain look fat  :)  We will have Elijah wear a shirt on Christmas Day that he is going to be a big brother and I will have a shirt at his party saying that we are expecting!

Then, in two weeks, we have our surgery to get you sewn in there.  I can't wait.  Once that happens, daddy and I will breathe a sigh of relief and relax.  After that, we will see you again on 1/6 and maybe you will kick your butt up in the air, open your legs and tell us if you are a boy or a girl.

Still no update on a name.  I have tried Avery, Macy, Amanda and nothing has stuck.  I really hope something comes to me.  I did dream about you this week a couple of times and that was a good feeling!

OK, kiddo, Merry Christmas and I will come back to tell you all about your family and how they reacted to the news that you are on your way!
