My child has a name!! :happydance:

Finally came to an agreement and hubs went with the one I originally wanted for a girl! - Now I will have a little boy and it will have all been a long process for nothing :haha: (If you missed my early comments on this in the 1st and 2nd tri boards we had a boys name from day one)

Now I am secretly hoping its a girl because I love the name that much! lol
 
ah we chose alexander from day one and just before my 20 week scan i deided on carrie for a girl but i wasnt too sure of it myself so im glad hes a boy

Alexandra is my second pick for a girl and Alexander is my second pick for a boy. I love the name alex haha
 
my oh chose alex for a boy and tried to get me to choose alexandria for a girl lol i did like carrie but in all honesty i was never quite sure of a girls name so maybe i just knew it would be a boy
 
Had a Dr. appt. today. I found out that my baby has a 2 vessel umbilical cord instead of 3. Also known as SUA. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it? I am a little worried even thought i was told i have nothing to be worried about.
 
I have never heard of that jm. What did they say it means?

I happened to see this term in my baby book this week and when I searched online I saw a ton of info on it but that was the first time I had ever heard of it..

During the anatomy ultrasound, one of the things the sonographer looks for is the presence of three vessels within the umbilical cord: one vein (which carries oxygen and nutrients from you to the baby) and two arteries (which shuttle that waste back to you, to be processed and disposed of by your kidneys). Instead of those three vessels, your baby's cord has only two: one vein and one artery. Two-vessel cord — also known as single umbilical artery (SUA) — occurs in 1 percent of singleton pregnancies and 5 percent of twin and multiple pregnancies. Researchers don't quite know what causes SUA, though they theorize that the second artery disappears at some point during early pregnancy.

Everything I read said that there is rarely ever cause for concern with them. :hugs:
 
Ah so you start off with three but one of the arteries disappears. Strange! Glad it is no cause for alarm though!
 
Yea i read that when i googled it. wow that is super rare then. I feel better knowing that its not a huge concern and that most babies are born healthy. This is def. something that will go down in her baby book :)
 
Kind of a grey blue/slate-ish color. I'm going to do a white tree outline mural in one corner too. Then we'll hang a bunch of paintings/photos of wild animals (lion, kangaroo, monkey, frog... a couple others). That's my project for next week. I still have to do the curtains and crib bed skirt - the fabric is on order, so I'll probably do that the following week. The fabrics are going to be a combo of this: https://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=a6551a2f-69a2-41e5-ad1d-2e41160b8928 and this: https://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1fe63b07-7a15-4889-b606-6db675143ec5. It's going to be a kind of modern safari theme. :)
