Peeking into the innermost parts...

We almost didn't have a 4-D scan done of this little guy...It was really fun and special to have done it with Audrey but it did also feel like we were potentially seeing something that we were not meant to see....something so hidden and intimate--the weaving together of someone in my innermost parts!

But my loving husband pointed out that this was also a very slippery slope...the sad destiny of the second child. The first? Full baby book, 4-D scan, pictures of mommy's tummy growing week by week, natural childbirth, etc. The second? One tummy picture and an epidural right from the start (just kidding but who knows?). Anyway, for that reason alone, we decided to get the 4-D scan and it was amazing and so sweet. Can you believe he's yawning? * For those of you who aren't used to seeing ultrasounds in 3 or 4-D, the baby might look a little freaky (and who knows, he might be!), but the distortion and blurriness you see in his features is due to the fluid. For example, up by his left eye, that is the umbilical cord causing the blurriness.

7 months.

Poor baby #2--here we are, 7 months into this pregnancy and just doing my first blog posting. May be he is a private person?

At about 2 1/4 lbs. he weighs the same as a Chinese cabbage, can blink his eyes and can see light filtering through my womb. Passed my glucose test (hurray for not having gestational diabetes-- i hear it sucks and means no more donuts) but need more iron (no wonder I've felt extra exhausted--hurray for needing more cheeseburgers in my diet!)

Never thought we'd have such a hard time choosing a name, given how obsessed I've always been with baby names but, alas, nothing has seemed like 'the' name--as it did with Audrey.

Suggestions? (Restrictions: no 'm' names and it must go with 'Morris.')
