Update on Baby Carr "The Big Surprise"


Baby 'C' at 10 weeks (three weeks ago now)

So James and I have decided to try our best NOT to find out the gender of this baby (until s/he is born). Whether s/he is a boy or girl won't really change much for us as most of our baby stuff is gender nuetral anyway and what is not gender nuetral we already have for a girl and a boy. We have picked out two sets of names (one set for a girl, one set for a boy). People have been having strange reactions to our decision so far, but I mean it is our decision and I don't honestly care if people think I am weird. Also, I also want to know what color his/her eyes are and what his/her voice will sound like and when his/her birthday will be, but I am becoming more patient in my old age:) I am entering my second trimester (well the baby is, anyway) and at my appointment on Wednesday we were measuring just fine, and his/her heart rate was 178 beats per minute. The doctor called her/him "Speedy Gonzalez" (sp?) as the heart rate is high and the baby was moving away from her everytime she tried to get a reading on him/her. Jake asked what we call the new baby, we decided on "Baby C". The "C" is for Carr and it is also the third letter int he alphabet, so it just kinda fits for now. I go in for another appointment the week before labor day and then three weeks after that we will have another ultrasound (around 18 weeks) to check for anatomical issues and at that point hopefully I will removed from high risk at that point. I am including an ultrasound picture from our last ultrasound at 10 weeks (I have been so tired since then to scan it in and post it). I am working on my fourteenth week now!
