15 weeks 5 days

Well, we went to the doctor Friday afternoon. I have decided this isn't the best time to make an appointment! I know what I am like at work at 3pm on a Friday....just ready to leave! Clinton and I were hoping that she would want to do an ultrasound like last time, so we could find out what we are having....but nope.... and I don't blame her. We did get to hear the heartbeat 140bpm, have blood drawn for the AFP, a flu shot and since I have been feeling a little under the weather, got some medicine to help with the congestion.

We have our next appointment Dec. 17th when we get to do an ultrasound and find out what we are having! I have been really anxious to find out what "it" is, so I scheduled a 3D ultrasound that just tells what the gender is so it is inexpensive, but I think I am going to cancel it because I want my doctor to tell me....I can wait an extra week!

I think I am feeling the baby move just a bit. If I push on my belly I will start to feel little flutters or sometimes it feels like a thump a little bit. I'm glad that I can feel "it", or at least think I can, but I'm ready to really feel something and for Clinton to be able to feel it as well.

We have been able to come up with a boy name.... I think. His dads name is John and my dads first name is Edward, so we are thinking John Edward Bennett. His dad goes by John and my brother goes by Edward (long standing family name) so we are thinking we would call him Jack. That was Clinton's idea and I like it. I guess we could add Jackson or something to his name, but then I think it just gets too long and Jack is close to John so....we will see. We just really want to use family names, and I think having two people with the same name to be difficult. Girls names... we just cant come up with anything yet, so I guess i kinda hope its a boy!

Clinton has already made is way over to Pocahontas for hunting and is going to stay until Thanksgiving. I am heading over Wednesday. Ashley, Kevin, Grace and Bennett are already there! They flew in from Colorado Saturday. Ashley is pregnant as well and due February 18th! My sister is also coming over from Nashville and Kim is glad so she will have someone to enjoy wine with since that is usually my job! Amanda is then going to come to Fayetteville before returing to Nashville to help decorate the house. It will be so great to have her here! Im ready to relax and spend time with the family!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and travel safely!
