23 Weeks!

23 Weeks Along!

Hooray!

I am so excited to be almost 6 months pregnant! In all of my prego research, an infant has a much greater chance of survival with significant medical sustenance if born after 24 weeks gestation so I am really happy to be close to that mark! 

I have been praying that she will be a healthy little girl and I think that my biggest fear is that she will come too soon! I only fear that because many of my friends here have had premature deliveries and so I feel that although I am healthy, I should not exempt myself from the possibility of that happening. 

I am in love with our sweet little girl! Jett and I talk to her and even give her a cute little personality that seems to stand as proxy until she is born and we can understand her true personality! We both hope that she will learn to love soccer and cricket and I told Jett (a Lakers fan...eww.) that she would be raised as a Sacramento Kings fan! He was very supportive and showed no hesitation in sustaining that measure. 

I want to hug her and hold her already! I have got a long way to go still in this pregnancy and hope that as time passes I can develop more attributes that will prepare me for parenthood. 

I think Jett and I have decided to do away with the name Elizabeth!

Jett came in one night with a very concerned look on his face and asked, "Isn't Elizabeth an old lady's name?" "Well sweetheart, it is a very common name of both old people and young. It kinda never goes out of style." 

"Well," he said, "I just don't think it fits to name our little girl an old woman's name. Especially an old English woman's name. We should choose an American name instead. What about Jenny??"......

So we sorted out a few potential names and decided to sleep on it and just wait until baby comes before we name her. I think I am going to miss the name Elizabeth because I have gotten so used to calling our baby by that name, but for now I guess Jenny will do.
