6 weeks 2 days!!

A week and 2 days and I've made it past my first big milestone. Our angel left us at 7 weeks 3 days so unlike those lucky women who've never lost, my first milestone is not the end of the 1st trimester, but rather is surviving past my miscarriage date. I'm doing fantastically (is that a word?). Everything with this pregnancy, so far, has been completely opposite of Logan. With Logan, I was tired (spent almost 2 weeks in bed!!) and only got sick one time and had a little bit of nausea every now and again. So far, I'm nauseous always, exhausted continually, hungry but nothing sounds good at all, unable to eat very much at one time (half an orange and I feel full) and I'm defiantly moody and emotional. I also don't want to be touched in any way shape or form (which is not a far cry from normal but now it extends to everyone except Logan). But, I'm still loving it.

I have my first OB appointment scheduled for Feb 16th with Dr. Holland, my OB in Astoria. I seriously wish I could just travel to Astoria for every appointment and have this baby in Astoria like I did Logan. They are seriously the greatest people and I don't know if any physician has ever made me feel as cared for and important and knowledgeable as these guys. But, insurance won't allow the trip! Poo! It's okay though, I loved the OB I had the first 7 months of my pregnancy with Logan and I should be getting back in with her in Vancouver, so that's a good trade.

It seems as though everyone thinks this baby is a girl. Logan has since he told me I was pregnant and my Mom and sister call it a she and Bill and I also think it's a girl. The exact same thing that happened with Logan has happened again. We tried for weeks and weeks to come up with names. Logan came asap. It was a done deal. When we went for my 20 week u/s we weren't even close to agreeing on a girl's name and then we never had to. Now, we have a girl's name all ready (as a matter of fact, it's what Logan calls my tummy) and are about a far as you can get from picking out a boy's name. Again, my wonderful husband is doing the same thing as he did when we picked out names the first time...shooting down all my selections immediatly without adding any of his own. I'm amazed we finally agreed on a girls name since he was 100% stuck on Holly, refused any other name and was determined to name our girl Holly. I disagreed. I thought I was going to have to pull a quickie and fill out the paperwork while he was otherwise occupied!! (Okay, so I'd never really do that..our kid would just be known as Baby G Beavers until she turned 18 and could pick her own!!).

So, what is the name you ask?? That would be Kameron Jaelynn. We both love Kameron and I have a big thing for the letter K (I know, I'm weird). As for the middle name...it's a made up combination of family names. Bill and I both have family names (William is his grandpa/uncle and Carrol..my middle name..is my grandmmother) and we felt that was a tradition we wanted to keep with our children's middle names. Logan's is William (duh!) which runs on my side of the family as well (my great grandfather and great uncle) so it was just a given. If we do have a boy, his middle name will be Charles (my grandpa). As for Jaelynn...The J comes from my grandma's middle name of Jane, the spelling of Jay as Jae comes from my mother's middle name of Rae and Lynn is both of Bill's parent's middle names. So, yes, it's complicated and we've spent way too long thinking it through (we've had 2 years to work on it!) but it's cute and we like it!!

So now, this baby had better be a girl or we're in some trouble!!
