Hi ladies! I've been away on a work trip and just got back Wednesday. Had my first appointment with my midwives (naturopathic doctors/certified professional midwives at a freestanding birth center) yesterday and it went great! Next appointment at 13 weeks we'll have a peek at the heartbeat with the doppler, and we're only going to have one scan at 20 weeks. Seems so much more real now that I've seen a midwife! They are super nice and I def feel like I made the right choice of where to have my baby.
I think we aren't going to find out the sex, dh definitely wants it to be a surprise and I'm on the fence. It'd be easier to plan and buy stuff if we knew the sex but on the other hand, my friend just had a baby last week and it was supposed to be a girl and turned out to be a boy! They had to return all the stuff they got at the baby shower and pick a new name and everything haha. Also it would be a little more convenient to have mostly gender neutral clothes and items so we can use them again for the next baby. We've been talking about names, haven't come up with anything definite yet though, I kind of feel like we won't know until we see the baby. His sister had a name picked out for one of her boys but when he arrived she decided he didn't look like that name and picked a new one on the spot.
So far on our list of possibles we have:
Isla Mae or Isla Madeline, Roslyn Ava, Alina Morgan, or Kendra for girls. For boys we're having a harder time but some are Arran Cole, Levi Alan, Kellan, Raelan, Ronan, Cohen, or Jason. So many to choose from lol!
