Elisabeth Isabelle

There is much pink and frills and bows in our future! Jordan's intuition was dead wrong, and Daniel Gabriel became Elisabeth Isabelle. Her name means "God's promise" or "God is my oath" and her first and middle name are the same, in different languages. It took us until last night to come up with a girl name. We had Isobel, Isabele,etc for a middle name, but couldn't come up with a first. I've loved Elizabeth my whole life, but it's Jordan's sister's middle name, so we had initially nixed the idea. But, I kept coming back to it, so the compromise was to change the "z" to an "s". The picture above was taken at the end of the ultrasound yesterday, she'd had enough and stuck her thumb in her mouth and rolled over, funniest thing ever.

We're pregnant!

We've kinda sorta talked for awhile that maybe it was time to start thinking about kids. I have a uterine anomaly called uterus didelphyis which makes conceiving a bit trickier and going full-term damn near impossible.
We'd been off birth control for awhile and nothing happening, so I made an appointment with a local perinatologist that a friend recommended because her friend had a similar issue and he is apparently a miracle worker and she was pregnant in just a few months after seeing him.
I had Veteran's Day off, so I make a pre-pregnancy consult with him and we discussed how a pregnancy would go and how often I would see him. He gave me a name of an OB/Gyn here in Kyle. Then he said something that I wasn't expecting. He told me to go home and take a pregnancy test and call him back to schedule my first appointment during Christmas Break.
I thought he was full of crap, so laughing, I call my friend (same as above) and tell HER what he said. We were planning on going to lunch that day, so A says stop by my place, I have plenty of pregnancy tests! Funny, but ok.
Drive over to her place, she's got it all laid out in the water closet and tells me if it's gonna ruin my day, don't do it. I, still thinking Dr. B is full of crap, say WTH, let's get it over with.
Boy would you imagine my surprise when that second line popped up!
I called Jordan and he just kept saying No. I kept saying YES, lol. So, we're pregnant, and he's convinced it's a boy. :D
