change of events

-
Meg had a dream last night that we found out our baby was a boy. I'm not sure what that means (probably nothing) haha.

At this point, I'd be happy either way. I actually found a person who knows two little girls named Avery today.  I think this change of events warrants a retraction of my veto...not to mention, Meg really loves the name! So, I guess you could say that we're one step closer to agreeing on a girl's name!

Now that I'm getting the, "I told you so," looks from the wifey...it's pretty much a guarantee that we'll have a boy!

    Funny! I don't know about you guys, but we literally can't come up with a boy name that we can agree upon! I like Avery....two thumbs up.

    Avery is androgynous...use it for your boy's name, lol. Our boy's name is Greyson Douglas (douglas after my dad)

    I am a big fan of Avery - great choice! A woman at work has an adorable little girl named Avery. Greyson is great too. We have 3 girls names and 2 boys names picked out so we better get the first one to stick so we can start using them!!

    I talked to a girl at work today who has a daughter named Avery. I like that name also. I love Greyson too! Our top two boy names are Thatcher Blaine and Braxton Trygg. Thatcher is our fav. And our girl name is Kenley Jo (Jo is Tommies mom's middle name).

    We hopefully find out Tuesday what we are having - but if Tommie is right, it's a girl! And if it's a girl...we are going to try again! lol - she's hoping for a boy so she doesn't have to get pregnant again.

    Hi, my fiancé and I recently came across your blog and really enjoy reading! We are in the process of wedding planning, but are planning on kids in a couple years. It's nice to read about what to expect. I've subscribed to your blog. Here's a link to mine if you're bored one day...

    Natalie, I love your names...I laughed out loud when I read that she's hoping to have a boy so she doesn't have to get pregnant again.

    Mel-CONGRATULATIONS!!! When are you getting married? I'm so excited you found us...I wish we knew what the process entailed before we started...would have made our lives easier. (SO...hopefully you'll find something useful or, at the very least, laugh a little!) I signed on to follow your blog...can't wait to read it!

    I agree. It is so nice to have another perspective or pointers on things. My aunt is gay and got married, has 3 kids now (all with her wife using IVF) so we had help with going through the whole marriage process, kid process ect.

    I can't even tell you how many people have contacted us asking how we did all this. It really is nice to have a hand when you need it and to lend a hand when someone else needs it!

    Thanks! Secretly I'm in love with Thatcher and that's partly why I want a boy so bad! I just can't stand to see it go to waste!!!! We just found out our donor's available vials are dwindling, so come Tuesday we may find out we need to purchase atleast one more vial hehe...

    And that sucks about Meg being so sick - seems like Tommie would have that happen too. She would see all fine and dandy then all of a sudden out of NO WHERE, all hell broke loose and she was sick! Hope it passes quickly!

Update

I know it's been a few days since I last blogged, so I just wanted to give you an update... Meg and I have been busy getting ready for the new school year (she came to school with my mom and I and organized my classroom library!!) She's still feeling nauseous and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She claims that it's all worth it, so that's a good sign! Friday is our next ultrasound appointment...I think we're supposed to hear the heartbeat, so that's exciting! With only 2-4 weeks left at RMA we're running out of time to find an obgyn. This afternoon I spoke with a receptionist from a doctor's office affiliated with a brand new hospital opening in November. It's only 17 minutes from our house, so it's perfect AND it's located in NJ, so my name can go on the birth certificate at the time of the birth. BONUS! The receptionist was really nice. She told me that there are 6 doctors and 4 midwives in the practice and that they w...

Finally...

FINALLY!!! It was only a matter of time before we heard some good news... Today, Meg had her 41 week appointment. They took us back to exam room 3...hooked her up to the monitors for a nonstress test. Avery was very active and looked great. Meg even had 3 minor contractions. Unfortunately Meg showed no progress in terms of dilation. Are you ready for the good news??? The doctor said, "It's time." We are scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at 6. There, we will be greeted by one of our favorite doctors. She will give Meg Cervidil to help ripen her cervix (and will hopefully calm Meg's nerves...she's good like that!) Tomorrow morning another doc will come in to check Meg's progress. She will most likely break Meg's water and administer Pitocin. Avery will hopefully be born on May 3rd and follow in the footsteps of her family (Meg-November 3, Uncle Eddie-October 3rd, Grandpop-September 3rd, Cousin Ryleigh-January 3rd) As our dogs play on the fl...

One Week Later...

It has been 7 days since the birth of our beautiful little girl and I've already learned so much...Here are the highlights so far... 1. I've learned how to change a wet diaper. 2. Keeping with number 1, I've learned that if I don't change Avery's diaper fast enough or if I try to change her before she fully wakes up Avery will pee on me! (definitely not just a boy thing!) 3. I've learned how to change a poopy diaper. 4. Keeping with number 3, I've learned that Avery can (and will) projectile poop if I don't change her diaper fast enough (happened twice so far!) 5. I've learned how to swaddle Avery (Meg is still much better at this than I am!) 6. I've learned how to make a bottle. 7. I've learned how to burp Avery..I'm kind of an expert! 8. I've learned how to tell when Avery is hungry (she does this weird thing with her tongue...Meg calls it rooting...I call it "Barney Crouch-ing"...after the guy in Harry Pot...
