She just asked me about my health &made sure .I didn't have diabetes or hypertension or anything like that. &.She talked to me about my family &how they treat me &also just went over some basic common sense stuff about pregnancy &babies &whatnot. She told me to not worry about what anyone says, just take it one day at a time &worry about having a healthy pregnancy &taking care of myself first &foremost. She was super nice.

Not an official one but so far they've been doing them every 4 weeks to the exact day. &.Its easy to know when my appointments will be anyway, because they're always on a .Monday, which are days when .I start a new week! My next appointment is on .October 16th, when .I'll be 18wks. So the one after that will be when .I'm 22wks, &that's on .Monday, .November 13th! Plus my nurse said my ultrasound will be at my 22wk appointment. Wink

I'm hoping its a girl, too! At first .I wanted a boy, but now .I'm pretty sure .I definitely want a girl.

&.Mel, .I donno! I don't even have a bump yet. *sobs* .I can feel it, but .I can't see it yet. I just have a feeling it's a girl. I keep having dreams its a girl. So does .Chris. I know that's not really something to go by, lol, but still! I'll be happy either way, though.

I think it's a boy! It seems like lately everyone is having girls (except me) so you need to switch it up a bit!

Any names picked out yet?

Do what .Michelle's husband did! Tell the baby that if there's anything growing between its legs, bite it off! Wink

For a girl, it's definitely going to be .Evelyn .Rei.

For a boy, we *did* have .Caden .Michael picked out.. But my cousin's fiancee has a 2 year old son named .Caden. &.I don't want two boys with the same name in the family. I really like .Sage .Michael, .Gabriel .Michael, or .Zade .Michael.. But .Chris only likes .Sage.. Which .I think is my favorite!
