Week Fifteen

by BDaigle

Here we are almost 3 weeks into the second trimester and Melissa had a checkup today. Melissa has granted her Mom two doctor visits and this was one of them. (The next one will be the ultrasound at Week 20). Everything looks good and Ms. Nancy got to hear the heartbeat and she was so excited she left a message for me on our home answering machine congratulating us again. It's her first grandchild so she's just a *little* excited. Melissa isn't showing yet, but I've been doing a lot of uterus feeling from the outside and it IS growing.

In other new baby news, if you didn't already know, we are not going to find out the sex of the baby. We are working on names and here's what we have so far. We have decided on a boy's name of Jonah Charles. We both like Jonah and Charles is the name of both our fathers and one of each of our grandfathers. Unfortunately, we are not having as much luck with a girl name. We briefly flirted with Clementine Camille, but after further review, we have gone back to the drawing board. (We're running out of ink.)

That's the latest on the baby front here in NOLA. Here's more about what's happening with the pregnancy in Week 15.
