Doctor's Appointment, New Class, Baby Name!!!

I had my 31 week checkup this morning and we had a sonogram! We were so glad to get to see the baby again; we were spoiled with Addison because we got to see her a lot before she was born. She's a flexible little thing - we could barely see her face because she had a her foot pulled up over her head and was holding onto her toes with her hand! She was measuring 11 days ahead of her original due date, her weight estimated at 4 lbs. 3 ozs., and her heartrate was 134. All in all, she appears to be a healthy, growing little girl and as Dr. Cole said I seem to just grow "big babies"! She will probably schedule delivery for October 8th (only 6 days before original due date), but she told us to think about it and check our calenders and we will discuss at the next appointment.

We are still trying to decide on a name for Baby Lindley. We would like to hear what you think and since family and friends are sometimes scared to voice their opinions, we have created a poll on the top right-hand corner of the blog with our narrowed down list. Please feel free to vote for your favorite anonymously! Although we may not choose to go with the majority, it will be neat to see the results. Also, the middle names are still questionable so if you have a suggestion, please let us know because we are really struggling since it is not used very often.

Addison started a new class at daycare this morning and it is a "potty-training" class!!! We are so excited since she has shown interest in using the potty since February! We have been going pretty consistently before bedtime since then and only sporadically all other times. I just hope we can tackle this challenge before the baby gets here. She had a pretty good report today, but we will just have to wait and see.

Glad baby M is doing well! Can't wait to meet her! Also, really liked "Meredith Lee" that you guys were previously considering!

Lee vetoed "Lee" as a middle name - he said if we weren't going to have a "V" if we ever had a boy that he didn't want to include Lee for a middle name on a girl so I agreed! We just can't let him forget that one day!

I am glad someone else is having a hard time naming their child. I never imagined it being this difficult. We are pretty positive that John will be it's first name or somewhere in his name but we can not come up with the name we plan on calling him...Maggie is precious though...so is Meredith but I really like Maggie. WE have thought of John Braedon, John Fisher, Johnathan Wade (John vetoed that), and some like John Hoyt after Johnathan's bow but that is not happening. Anyway we just don't know. Opinions are welcome to us as well. Glad everything is going well... We seem to be having a large one too.. we will have another sonogram on the 25th.... Pray for us.. have a great day
