34 Weeks

Getting a headstart on this entry. ;) I will be 34 weeks tomorrow! Or if you want to get technical in about 4 hours HaHa.

Thirty-four weeks means:
SIX weeks to my estimated due date!
FOUR weeks to the same week Noah came!
THREE weeks (only three!!) until baby is considered full term!

Time is still speeding by! We still have a lot to get done before baby comes, hopefully we can do it! ..I guess if not it's not that big of a deal, it just kind of stresses me out, and I'd feel much better to have it all done before Baby Boy comes..especially since we probably won't have much time for awhile once Baby Boy is here!

New name added to the running yesterday: Talmage (alternate spelling Talmadge, but I prefer the first spelling I typed: Talmage). I posted to a couple baby name communities for preference of spelling, and I was surprised that a lot of women had never heard the name and do not know how to pronounce it. I got a lot of negative feedback on those sites, but that doesn't change our opinion of the name, we still like it. We had a neighbor that named her little boy that, so I sent her a message to ask her about the accusations people were making (he would be made fun of, no one would be able to pronounce it, etc.) because of course we want to take some things into consideration, and she said that people in Utah never had a problem pronouncing it, but out of state (they moved to Kentucky) or on the phone with companies like insurance companies and the like, that people don't know how to pronounce it at first. So far her son has not been teased for his name, but honestly even my name got turned into ways to tease me and my name is pretty normal. ;)
Anyway, I'm sure a lot of people won't be fond of the name, but Stephen and I like it. So it's added to our list to consider. We still plan on waiting to see Baby Boy before we decide *for sure* on a name.

Not much new to update other than that. Have my doctor's appointment on Monday. Will be getting the routine-check for Strep B at this next appointment, then I'll be scheduling another appointment two weeks from then. Not this next appointment, but the one after, my "progress" will start being checked (to see if and how much I am dilated, effaced, etc.) Kind of crazy to think we are already so close to that point! So exciting though!

Getting closer and closer to meeting our Little Man! Yay! :)
