17-weeks/Appt.

I am officially 17-weeks pregnant today.  LB is the size of an onion now.  "The developing fetus can begin to hear sounds, like your heart beat and the sound of your voice as it resonates throughout the body."  I have been feeling great this week.  I am getting bigger by the day...sheesh.  I'm kind of scared how big I will be by 40-weeks:/  In other news, Avery might not know she's going to be a big sister, but she does know where her baby sister is!  I can say, "where's the baby?" and Avery will come to me, lift my shirt up and touch my belly button.  It's so freaking cute!!!  I have started cleaning out the new nursery and cleaned out Avery's closet.  I moved all of the clothes Avery can no longer wear into the new nursery.  When I was going through Avery's old onesies, rompers, sleepers and outfits, I am SOOOOO THRILLED we are having a girl!  I am so happy we will get to reuse these clothes.  Looking at these outfits brings back many wonderful memories.  The newborn and size 1 diapers are so freaking tiny.  I cannot believe we are going to have another tiny baby in a few months!!!
I also had my 17-week doctor appointment this morning.  Aside from the fact that my insurance messed up today and I had to call HR and get it straightened out, everything went well.  I have gained 12-pounds total so far.  The baby's heart rate was 146.  She is just like her big sister.  Avery's heart rate was in the 140's the entire pregnancy. 
AND Chris and I FINALLY agreed upon a name.  We originally agreed upon Hadley.  Once Chris knew it was a girl, he changed his mind.  I liked Cambree, but Chris hated it.  I asked Chris to give me a list of names and I would pick from those names.  He has never given me input on names, so I had no idea how horrible his taste would be.  He gave me a list of 4 names.  Dakota, Alexis, Cheyenne and Shania.  Yes, as in Twain.  Sigh!  I made him go with me to Barnes & Noble to look at baby name books.  He liked Laney, which isn't too bad, but no.  He got frustrated and gave up.  I asked friends for help with names.  Presley was one of the names given to me, which I like.  I asked Chris and he said, "I like...".  Well HALLELUJAH!!!  We have our name!!!  Presley.  Now I just have to find the perfect middle name:)
