What's in a name...
Doug & I have been trying to think of names we like since we found out we were expecting. There are names I like and he doesn't, and names he likes and I don't. There are only a few that we can agree on. You would think that with a book of 60,000 baby names, we would be able to find more than a few we both like, but I guess it's better to only have a few than to like a lot and have to narrow it down from there. Anyway, I thought I'd share a boy name and a girl name that Doug has decided he likes...
BOY: Doug Jr.
GIRL: Dougana
We really like Dougana for a little girl - sounds pretty and feminine, right? HA!
Obvisoulsy, I'm just kidding!

Ok, here are a couple pictures taken at 12 weeks.
I've got a little bump started :)

And the Fruit of the week is...
Every week I've been reading about how big Wolfgang is. Most books and websites compare the growing baby to a fruit. This gives you a pretty good idea how big the baby is getting, and how much it's grown in just a few weeks. I decided I'd post a pic every week or every other week of the fruit that baby is being compared to. But before I post the fruit of week 12, let's take a look back at some of the previous fruit (fruit salad, anyone??).
Week 7: Blueberry
Week 8: Raspberry
Week 9: Green Olive
Week 10: Prune
Week 11: Lime
And that leaves us with our current fruit
Week 12: Plum

Pretty interesting, huh??

Found a swimsuit!
Obviously, this has been on my mind a lot...there are a ton of maternity swimsuits available on the internet - but they are all so freakin' ugly!! Now, I know I've posted on this before, but like I said, it's been on my mind. I'm a swimsuit nut, and I can't imagine wearing most of those awful suits that are out there! Anyway, I've been searching and searching, and finally found a cute one! Thank Goodness!! I mean, I'm sure I won't want to be seen in a swimsuit this summer, but if I get brave enough, I definitely want to be seen in something cute! haha! I'm so lame!
What a Day!!
Yesterday was one of the best days of my life! Doug & I got to hear Wolfgang's heartbeat for the first time - it was beyond amazing! We were lucky to get in and out of the Dr.'s office in about 20 minutes, but I could have listened to that sweet sound for hours longer!
I had told both Doug and my mom that I was especially ready to hear it because it will then become so much more real to me. I've not had any symptoms other than just being tired all the time, and about a week ago that let up, and I've been feeling more energized. Not having any symptoms is a blessing, don't get me wrong (I wouldn't change that!), but when you dont' even feel nauseous, it kinda makes you wonder if there is really a baby in there! Well, it took Dr. Cox a little while to find the heartbeat, which I figured it would, but I could tell by the look on Doug's face he was getting a little worried...but as soon as he found it, it was the most amazing sound I've (we've) ever heard! The look on Doug's face was unforgettable. The huge smile that came across his face made me smile that much more! To get to experience hearing the heart for the first time together was such a blessing. I just can't even explain how much I love Doug, and how absolutely wonderful this pregnancy is!
After the Dr. we spent some time in Joplin, going to Lowes (which Doug really should know is a very bad idea!) to get a few supplies. I kept seeing things that I would like to get to update our home, and showing them to Doug who would try to ignore me the best he could :) Then we went to eat. I've been wanting either Chinese food or Mexican food all the time, so we had to go to Del Rio! It was so yummy. I have to say that it was just a pretty good day!!

2nd Appointment tomorrow
So, I know it's been a little over a month since my last post...I have apparently been too lazy to get on here. But, hopefully that'll change.
Here's a recap of the last month...
We had our first Dr. visit on Feb. 5. Had to wait for like 30 minutes. Doug was getting annoyed, but our appointment was at 3:10, so hopefully we can get morning visits from now on so we won't have to wait as long! Anyway, the visit went great. I was un-prepared though, I had so many questions before we went, but didn't write them down, so as Dr. Cox was talking to us, and asking if we had any questions, we blankly stared back at him and said, "uh, no." Haha, I have all my questions written down for tomorrow!!
We got to see the first picture of our little blob. Wolfgang was very cute! haha! Before we left, Dr. Cox asked again if we had any questions, and Doug spoke up and said "I have one..." "Is it too soon to tell if the baby is gonna have red hair?" Now, if you know Douglas, this doesn't surprise you. His humor is wonderful, and it hits you out of nowhere. You see, people always tell us that our children are going to have red hair, not that we have a problem with that at all, but since Doug's beard is red, and red hair runs in my family, it is a very good possibility. Anyway, the Dr. was not sure how to take this question, and had a puzzled look on his face. Doug & I were laughing, and the Dr. finally realized that we were kidding, although he did tell us that there would be a good chance Wolfgang will have fair skin - uh yeah, tell us something we haven't already figured out!!
Now - your up to speed on what happened last visit. After that, we got to tell all our families and friends. What a fun experience! Getting to tell my grandma that we're going to have her 20th great-grandchild was awesome!
Tomorrow is our next visit. I'll be 11 weeks and 5 days. Hopefully we'll get to hear the heartbeat - what a sweet sound that will be! I can't wait!
