So I have been getting alot of drama about Elizabeth's name. Basically because we have friends who named their daughter Elizabeth. They call her Eliza and we will be calling our little girl Lizzie.
The thing is I have had Elizabeth Nicole picked out since I was nine. I've also liked the name Elizabeth since I was three. I had a cabbage patch doll named Elizabeth Pinky Martin. I think the name is classic and there is so much you can do with it. Plus, my mother lost a child when she was three days and her name was Elizabeth Ann. So the name has alot of meaning for us.
We talked about this name before we were even engaged and it's our child so we can name her what we want. We have other friends who have a little boy named Mikey and we were going to name a boy if we had one Michael Gregory and they didn't mind. I also think when Eliza and Lizzie get older they will think it's cool they have the same name. I mean it's not like it's an original name that was used. It's completely classic.
So for those of you last night who had issues with it, get over it. She's not your child.
Today (well technically yesterday now) was our doctor's appointment with the 20 week ultrasound and we found out that we are having a little girl and she is developing PERFECTLY!
She is 12 oz, we could see her strong heartbeat, she was moving ALOT (which I actually felt today), and we could see her spine. She was moving her mouth alot (like mommy) and didn't want to smile for the camera (like daddy). She is also right on target with her due date. I thought at first that Hubby was disappointed she was a girl but he said it was just that he was more scared now and she isn't leaving the house until she is thirty. :] Here are some pictures (I'll post more once my phone isn't being crappy):
The crazy thing is, I had a dream over the weekend that my dad was changing the baby's diaper but we had a ribbon-like cord connecting me & the baby and he said, "Look at your little girl." and he showed me and I said, "No I am not suppose to find out yet!" And so he covered her up. Isn't that crazy?!
I called my step-mom and then I thought "O I need to call my dad" and then cried when I realized. Today was also stressful for other reasons. I guess because I feel that my dad cared about this baby more than is being considered. But I'll have to get over that. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to do certain things and could make my life as stress free as possible. Well, anyways. We are having a girl! My dad wanted me to have a boy, I hope he isn't disappointed. But I'm just happy that she's healthy. :]
