Praying that baby get's Clint's eyesight. ha!

Name that Baby!

My sisters had a good point. Don't tell anyone the baby names unless you're ready for their opinions. So yes, we are... and we don't give a darn what you think! We have come along way on boy AND girl names. I am very modern and Clint is, well, country. We nixed Weldon (thank goodness) early on. So drum roll please.... here are the names:

Baby girl: Madison Rebecca or Gracie Rebecca

Baby boy: Weston John.. or John Weston

So there they are! Rebecca is after my mother and John is after Clint's father. If it is Madison, we won't call her "Mady" for short. It will be Madison. Being a Clarissa all my life, I will not put my baby through the hassle of strangers calling her by a name she does not go by. Which leads us to the Weston "discussion". He will be called Weston, but Clint will not back down, he wants it to be John Weston, just so the poor thing can have a cool nickname: J-Dub. Silly. I know. We'll see who wins that's one:)

16 weeks, 4 Days

We went to the hospital to see the baby for the second time on Friday. All four of our parents were there as well as my sister Cassie- we thought it would be neat to all find out together. We weren’t really supposed to get this one but that's one of the perks of having my sis work at a hospital. Cassie has a sonogram machine on her floor and her friend Stephanie agreed she would take a look. We were all crowded around the screen when antipicating a BOY, but we saw nothing but umbilical chord. It was wrapped all around it's boy/ girl parts. We looked for over an hour! After jumping up and down and peeing 3 times, we decided that today just wasn't the day. We also heard the heartbeat for the very first time! The h/b was 170. The Old Wives Tale says that below 150 is a boy and above is a girl. All along, I’ve felt like it is a BOY, but have talked to so many people who just “knew” they were having a boy and then found out it was, in fact, a girl! So, let’s just say I’m not painting the nursery any time soon. Clint claims he wants a boy, but whenever I tell him it could just as easily be a girl he gets a little sparkle in his eye. ;) We should find out in our next appt. on April 7th. Oh! And I’m starting to show a bit. err, a lot. Belly Pic coming soon!
