Baby Bump

I've had several requests to post a baby bump picture. So here is my very round and plump self...with a little Hayden tucked away in there somewhere. I'm 21 weeks along in this picture and I think I grow a little every week.

Half way there and a name!

I officially reached 20 weeks on Wednesday. Time sure does fly! I had my 20 week check up and things were still looking good. Heartbeat was around 155 and he's kicking up a storm. It's always nice to feel him and know he's ok. Other than that, last week we came up with a name. Here's the little story behind it. We had been mulling over a few names that we kind of liked, but nothing was really sticking. So one night, I got the idea to peruse the Colorado state map and see if any small towns had good names. Adam and I are both HUGE Colorado buffs. We came across the name Hayden in the north west area of Colorado and became hooked on the name. So his name is Hayden James Davenport. James is a family name on Adam's side that his granddad, dad, and little brother all have, so we wanted to honor his family in that. Then I was talking to my dad and found out that I have an ancestor named Basil Hayden! So little did we know we covered both families in our name selection! I am very happy with the name and it just seems to fit him perfectly! I can't wait to meet my little Hayden man in September!

It's a BOY!!!

Well, we found out last thursday (April 9th) that we are having a little boy! This is what we both wanted and I am just so in love with my little man. He measured just on target at his sonogram and looked just about as cute as can be. That's his current portrait in the right hand corner. We got to see his little hands, arms, legs, and spine. Wow, the spine was the most amazing part. So much detail in that sono. Unfortunately the tech printed us a very sloppy version of it. All we were able to get was a profile of his head and a shot to show he's definitely a boy. But we are hoping to get the 3D ultrasound somewhere a little later in the pregnancy.

I have started to feel him periodically throughout the day, especially when I am laying down. It's such a neat feeling. Feels like little pops throughout my stomach. It just makes me fall in love with him even more. I can't wait to meet my little man. September 9th sounds so far away, but I know it will be here faster than I realize.

I am currently 18 weeks and 5 days. I will be 19 on Wednesday. Almost half way!!
