I got my first appointment scheduled with Maternal Fetal Medicine for Tuesday, August 6th. Three weeks away :/ It will be a 2 1/2 hour appointment, meeting with a genetic counselor first. I'm pretty sure that will be to go over all the medical history background stuff. Again. Seems you have to do that with every doctor you see! Then I will be getting an u/s, followed by a visit with a Perinatologist.
Between now and then, I have softball to distract me. Our tournament team FINALLY qualified for the ASA/USA National Tournament this last weekend. We will be traveling to Sunnyvale, CA for a week long tournament. Only a few more weeks of softball and then I will be retiring for a very long time.
*******************************
Now, to my story.
A few weeks ago, Hubby and I were talking about the twins. He mentioned something about how we are going to need to paint the back bedroom pink and blue.
Me: "Oh, so we are going to have a boy and a girl. One of each?"
Him: "Yes. And we will be naming them Zach and Kelly."
Me: "Ummm, no."
A few minutes later...
Me: "What if we have two girls?"
Him: "Then we will name them Jesse and Kelly."
Anybody know what these names are from? If you guessed Saved by the Bell, you are correct! Hubby and his roommates spent a lot of time watching that t.v. show in college. Yes, you read that right. In college. (shaking my head)
Just before going to bed, I continued the conversation...
Me: "If we have a boy and a girl, I think we should name them Cory and Topanga."
Him: "That would be okay too."
You all know who Cory and Topanga are, right? From Boy Meets World?
Okay, we won't actually be naming our children after these t.v. show characters, but Hubby likes to get my goat by pretending that he is dead serious about these things.
We called ours (in utero) Lucy and Ehtel. Lol. You can compromise and let him have his names for the pregnancy. Once they're out, then YOU get to name them! ;)
ReplyDeleteCheck into this test: http://www.sequenomcmm.com/Home/health-care-providers/Trisomy-21/About-the-Test
Can be done in lieu of amino for the trisomies and its just a blood screen!
Did you get both packages?
DeleteI did get both packages!!! I got the doppler on Monday and the gel today. Of course, I had to try to use the doppler w/o the gel, and of course I couldn't find the heartbeats, but I wasn't too worried about it. I did find one heartbeat today though!!! It was glorious :) Can a person harm the babies by trying to use the doppler too much? Until I can perfect locating that beautiful sound, I'm afraid I'm going to be a bit obsessed. And of course I want to share with Hubby too when he gets home.
DeleteYeah, I don't want to do an Amnio at all. There is no way I'm going to do anything that is going to even remotely compromise these babies. Thanks for the suggestion.
DeleteAloe works great instead of ultrasound gel as well. I'm never convinced I pick up on two different heartbeats.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to joke about things baby related. Just wait until you are really talking about baby names. It's tough!!
Ha ha! This is so totally a conversation my husband I would have if I were preggers with twins. I love it!! And I love SBTB and Boy Meets World :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny!! Enjoy!!! Love and prayers! Auntie
ReplyDeleteLOL! My wife does the same thing. Well, not with tv characters! She tells me she wants to name our baby Petaluma Lamb. I guess I will tell her that is the in-utero name...
ReplyDeleteZach and Kelly!! I started laughing right there. LOVE it. Good luck at your appointment. :)
ReplyDeleteHow about Brenda & Brandon? LOL at your hubby, and good luck for the real names discussion!
ReplyDeleteAh love Saved by the Bell and Boy Meets World. You could go with Jessie and Rebecca from Full House!
ReplyDeleteAmazing name suggestions. At least it wasn't Screech and Mr. Belding :) Brenda and Brandon is pretty great too, Elizabeth! J was dead set on Ziggman (a family name) which is how we got Ziggy for a nickname.
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes for Mulder and Scully, but then again I'm a nerd. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL you guys are silly! :D Love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha that would be pretty funny naming your kiddos by those on Saved By the Bell though!
ReplyDeleteOh how great it is to see/hear the fun y'all are having with this :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to find out the genders....wait you ARE going to tell us right??
My husband has brought up a lot of names from the Simpsons (Montgomery with a nickname of Monty, Homer, etc.). Uhhhh I don't think so. :-)
ReplyDeletehahahaha your hubby sounds like a hoot! So happy for you :)
ReplyDeletetwo GREAT shows! if it is two boys, Slater and Skreech are perfect
ReplyDeleteok that is hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. (-:
ReplyDeleteToo cute. Love that you're having these conversations. Probably makes it feel more real. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! I love teh baby name conversations... although I am just workign on wearing my hubby down until he concedes I pick better names.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Sounds like a conversation my husband and I would have. We are constantly coming up with ridiculous names.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Sunnyvale! My brother-in-law and his family live there!
hahahaha! that's awesome!!
