“Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” says he.
I had an appointment with the OB today. Went over ultrasound (u/s) results, measurements, all that jazz. And a couple other things.
— With the u/s measurements, due date is now estimated to be September 8th, instead of September 5th. Very few babies arrive on their actual due date, so this doesn’t mean too much.
— As mentioned in the previous post, it’s probably a girl!
— Baby’s heart rate measured at 160 bpm.
— My blood pressure was 92/58. Normal range for me.
— The yeast infection that I thought I still had, lingering from way back in November, is no longer present (since week 14). He took cultures and looked under the scope, and nada. The inflammation I’m having could be due to some other thing. I am to take some antibiotic and see if that relieves it.
— I’m officially off Pelvic Rest. Guess who is very happy to hear that?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing that it will probably be a girl, I would like to ask for name suggestions from you all!
Just a few of my preferences:
* Not one of the currently popular names.
* Something unique, but not too unique. (I do NOT think making a traditional name with mere different spelling is “unique”)
* No unisex names. Nothing against them, just I’d rather stick with girl names.

Congrats on the great visit! Whooo hoo!! And no yeast! A blessing! And congrats or the no pelvic rest! Jeez, it was a long-time coming, wasn’ it?!
As for names? Those were my requirements and only 2 succeeded in being considered by Matt. Ovusoft.com has a Pregnancy Fun forum where ladies discuss and debate baby names. They’re much more creative than I could ever imagine.
I’d love to hear your suggestions, just wish I could be of more help! We only had 2 we really considered.
Best wishes!

Whohooo!! Great news! So glad to hear that everything looks good. And so, I’m sure, is your husband - for all kind of reasons. heheheh.
Man, names are a very tough issues. Tastes vary so incredibly widely. I like Kate, Sophie, Isabella, Lily, Julia, Victoria, Elizabeth, Claire, Ava to name a few.

Well, we are having our 4th BOY. The girl name we have had on standby for the last three boys is Amelia.

What a wonderful appointment. I am so thrilled for you. Congrats on your very healthy baby.
Names…well, the only name for a little girl that I can think of is the one we have picked out (yeah, I’ve had a boy and a girl name picked out for ages). If we have a little girl, her name will be Magdalena aka Maggie.
