Anyway.. we bought a doppler thing that you can use at home to heart the heart beat (liek we rented when i was PG for Cameorn) and we have been trying to get a good heartbeat so I could rest and not worry so much. But all we usually get is a few seconds and it goes away. SO on Saturday night after we did our Easter Bunny duties and filled baskets we decided to try adn listen again... well we found it! (I go tomorrow to teh Dr's for a prenatal visit) but i was worried cause we hadn't heard the heartbeat yet or had an ultrasound, and by this point with my other 2 we had done both. So anyway, we heart eth heartbeat and THE BABY MOVED!! It kicked two or three times while we were tryign to get the heart beat. So apparently it didn't liek teh doppler! So i feel a lot better now. I though I felt movement earlier in teh day but thought it was jsut my mind playing tricks but it really moved twice Saturday night. And I've felt it once or twice a day since then!!! I was suprised cause it was earlier than my other two.. cameorn moved at 16 weeks and kathleen was 14 and 1/2 . And I'm just 13 weeks now.

Also we are decided on a girls name... but now teh boy's is a toss up.
We are going with Theresa Leann for a girl (After my mom's mother Theresa) and DH just thought Leann went really well with it. Boy was supposed to be Jackson Alan but DH wants to think about it for a while... so who knows. But I think teh babies a girl.. I'll apdate wehn we have an ultrasound!

3_call_me_mama replied: Thanks ladies I went today ad the little heart was beating 148.. exactally what kathleen was at this point. he said I am measurign a little bigger than I should be.. like 3-4 weeks. but he;s not worried. We go back in 2 weeks (cause they were closed 2 weeks ago when I should have gone so they are trying to get me back on track with the 4 week schedul .So today was a 14 week visit 9althoug I'm just over 13 weeks) and then in 2 weeks it's the 16 week visit. and the following week is an ultrasound. So in 3 weks we should know how many babies are in there adn possbily what it is

CantWait replied: Very exciting, those are great names you guys got picked out. Hope the appt goes well also.

A&A'smommy replied: oh hun I'm so excited for you that is SOOO awesome!!! I LOVE the little girls name and I really like the first name you got picked for a boy.. but the middle name kind of reminds me of alan jackson anyway its really cute though!!

Bee_Kay replied: Awww that is so sweet. There is nothing like hearing the baby's heartbeat

It is so nice to hear all these stories about you pregnant ladies. It brings back alot of memories for me

jacobsmama replied: That is great news and very cute name!!!!

CAMSMOM1 replied: How awesome! I'm so glad the appt went well, I measured big too. You have a little soccer player in there. Love the names, and I can't believe you are already 13 wks. Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Give your baby a rub on the belly for me. I'm so excited for you.

3_call_me_mama replied:
SEE that's what I knew was gonna happen. Which is why we don't really want to use it. We kinda have to go with Alan for a middle name after my FIL cause Cameorn has my dad's name for a middle name. But we loved teh name jackson.. it just sounds like we reversed a famous name to get our kids name with teh middle name we chose. That's why we are still decidin gon teh boy's name. Dennis wants something like Dorian I think he said.. SO basically we're still reading that name book !LOL

Thanks again everyone

Oh and Ann yes, wearin gmaternity clothes cause although I haven't gained any weight yet, i still Have grown quite a bit! It seems to be flying by!

ashtonsmama replied: How exciting! So glad things are going well there!

I can't believe you have to wait so long for an ultrasound though!!! That's kind of a long time!!
