13 Weeks and Counting...

I had my 3 doctor visit today for "Kelsey Baby #3." We got to hear baby's heartbeat today at 150-160 beats per minute. The nurse didn't even have to work very hard to find the heartbeat. She barely touched the doppler to my belly when we heard the swooshing which we knew was a strong heartbeat. It's always a sigh of relief to hear it that first time!
Everything seems to be going well with this pregnancy. The doctor's only concern was my 11 pound weight LOSS! How ironic that any other time in my life, this would have been considered a great accomplishment. The virus I had last week really did a number on me and my appetite is still not what it normally is. Other than that, everything is fine.
We were very excited to find out today that we will have our BIG ultrasound in only 4 weeks! It will be a little early at only 17 weeks, but we're still hoping to find out what this little one will be! We go on May 8th at 8 a.m.!
For those of you that don't know, we already have names for this little one. I like to know way ahead of time and not have to think about it any more! If it is a girl her name will be Lila Victoria Kelsey (after our dear friend Lila Mae Hand and Grammy Kelsey). If it is a boy his name will be Carter David Kelsey (Carter just because we like it and David after my dad and Grandpa Blewett). Whatever the baby is we just pray that he or she is healthy and happy!!

I love your names! I really like the boy name, since I have a Jackson Carter myself.....Lila Victoria is beautiful also! I wish you well with your pregnancy.
