Baby Caleb!

On Tuesday, Baby C was officially deemed to be Baby Caleb. Our son will be here this winter. In celebration, we bought this at Target:

Woohoo for our boy! Brian's over the moon.*

I have to say, finding out that Caleb is completely perfect: all major organs in place and working, heartbeat on track, the right size for 20 weeks along, was the absolute best part. Our ultrasound tech was very sweet, telling us up front that she would be spending a lot of time measuring the brain and the heart and that was totally normal. That the doctor would come in after she was done and that was totally normal. That sometimes she gets quiet so she can focus and that was totally normal. However, she couldn't answer questions like "Is he ok? Is that heartbeat normal?" We'd have to wait for the doctor to answer those questions. So most of our time with her had baited breath on my end, which I really exhaled when the doctor came in to say that our boy looks great. 

We still like calling him "Baby C." It's such a cute nickname, but it's nice to call him by his full name too.

*Don't get me wrong, I'm excited too, but Brian is just beyond thrilled about the idea of having a son.

Only 20 more weeks or so! And the registry updates start....now!
