Only 4 months to go!!!
I had a Doctor's appointment yesterday! Everything went great! The baby's heartbeat was strong and the Doctor said he is head down right now.
She told me that after next month's appointment, I'll be in my third trimester and will start coming in every 2 weeks for appointments. I can't believe it! This pregnancy has gone very fast.
So right now I'm at 24 weeks.
....and we are pretty sure about the name for this first boy. Paul and I went through so many names; some that we talked about were:
Paul, Noah, Nathan, Caleb, Lucas
but we decided on
Nicholas.
So I think we are about 99% sure that Nicholas will be his name; we'll call him Nico (pronounced Neeko) for short. I am very happy with that name. There actually aren't that many good boys names that have good meanings. Nicholas means Victorious among the people. I don't mind that. As long as it doesn't mean something like Demon or Athist.
We almost chose Caleb (which was a name in my family history) but then read the meaning: dog (as in loyal like a dog) but still, I didn't want that to be the meaning of my son's name.
Nathan had a nice meaning: My God has given. But Paul said that name would always remind him of hot dogs.
So Nicholas it is....

Forgot to mention that Nico is also a family name. Goes back may be even a few 100 years. I have several uncles by that name on both side of my family (maternal and paternal).
Aside from that fact, I like the name very much!
Glad to hear everything is going well with this pregnancy.
Love MOM (Oma)
Wow Jennifer, what a great name Nicolas is .My congrats with your expecting a BOY! And with this fantastic name and.... Boy "NICOLAS" , there will be just ONE named and BE as unique as your Nicolas, because he is just ONE of you and Paul.
It is unheard of for a pregnant mother to say her pregnancy is going by fast. WOW! Now, why would Nathan remind Paul of Hot Dogs?
We also have family names given to our kids.
Hudson JAMES (Jason's second name)
Evan CORNELIS (Ron's 2nd, my Dad's 1st, many in Ron's family line)
Alyssa MARIE (Yvonne's second name)
It wasn't really that intentional, we like the names, and we are glad it works out that way.
