Our First Ultrasound
We did see our baby last time but this time we heard his heartbeat. Yes, HIS!!! (We also found out we are having a boy.) So thoughts are going around for names – we know it will start with a J like our names do, but it is really hard…
Week 12 Progress
Week 12 Progress: We are discussing what your name will be, will it be a girl’s name or a boy’s name? We don’t know yet. We are excited to find out which sex you are, perhaps at our next visit. We do know it will begin with a “J”. That…
