Re: JENFEF
I'm here. I recently discovered that my slimy cubicle-mate has been tattling on me to our boss, so I've had to cut down on my nesting. Amelia has been keeping us pretty busy at home (terrible twos? phish...we started that a month or so ago). Even when I have the time and/or energy to check-in at home it's near impossible to wrestle the computer away from DH.
I had a check-up yesterday and everything is going well. The baby was moving around so much the doctor had a hard time getting a good heartrate read. I'll have another ultrasound in about a month so they can do a thorough check of the heart - it's SOP so no worries. After that I'll start having weekly ultrasounds somewhere around 30-32 weeks. Those will be to check on my amniotc fluid levels since they have no idea why it got so low towards the end of my pregnancy with Amelia which is why I was induced 3-1/2 weeks early. After spending all of my first trimester and then some absolutely exhausted, I'm finally feeling pretty good. So far my biggest worry is naming this baby. DH vetoed having a Jr before we even got pregnant with Amelia and I'm perfectly happy with that. But I have only one name I really like - Asher - and I don't think DH likes it since he hasn't really commented. His only suggestion so far has been Douglas Norton. I don't hate Douglas, but don't really like it either. DH seriously would like to name all our children after explorers/adventurers, and there was an Artic explorer with that name. I, obviously don't mind the idea, but I'm not going to limit our naming pool to explorers. I figured out that Norton is a motorcycle (yes, seriously) and told DH that any name he suggests will be thoroughly researched and any that have anything to do with motorcycles or guns will be vetoed. I just have a feeling this is going to be a long, frustrating process.
Amelia is going to be a big sister!
What a snitch! I was thinking about you last night as I drove near your house for a baby shower (off of Akin). Glad you are feeling better now! I can't believe you are halfway through already! I swear you were just telling us! Was zumba really that long ago?
Baby names - what about Orville? I kid, I kid. He wasn't really an explorer per se'. Douglas isn't bad but when I hear Norton, I think of the anti-virus computer software.....

*butting in*
What does your DH do for a living? Or is he just a big history buff?
How about Columbus? Ponce? Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head
Although I watched that TV show "Expedition Impossible" this summer, and there was a blind guy named Eric that competed. His team came in 2nd, which is pretty impressive for a blind guy. He climbed mountains, kayaked, rode horses and camels - you name it, he did it. So he's kind of a "modern" adventurer.
The Sand in My Snow Boots
DH is into history, but I wouldn't call him a history buff. He doesn't want to name our kids after family members, mainly because he doesn't want to deal with keeping it fair to both sides. OK, I can understand that, don't really like it but I'm not going to push. At the same time, he feels like their name should have some kind of significence which brought him to explorers - people who, like the guy you wrote about, did something pretty amazing. Decent logic there, but we're going to have a hard enough time as it is so I'm not limiting ourselves to one group.
