Baby Boy Montgomery!

Our Maternity Pics- By Brittany Saxe- Our Lovely-Talented Neighbor!
I had my first, of hopefully not too many more weekly appointments, yesterday.  At 35 weeks, my OB doesn't routinely check to see if you're dilated.  They save that pleasure for your 36 week check up... But after I told the nurse that I have Braxton-Hicks contracts often throughout the day and I had two while I was laying to have my belly measured and baby's heart-rate dopplered, Dr. Mini thought we may want to if there was any progress...
I measured 32 weeks... small but consistent throughout.  Baby Boy's heart-rate was right at 130, which it's been consistently and I am 1 cm dilated.  
Dr. Mini was not at all concerned about the 'practice' contractions or their frequency.  She said it's just baby and my body practicing for the big event.  Practice makes perfect- so we'll hope for a great labor and delivery!  
She joked saying, "Next week, I'll bet, you're two and the following week three or four and then you'll be ready to go!"  I laughed and asked her if she's predicting 3 weeks and she said, "Educated guess, but you could also be 1 cm until the first of October!"  Let's hope it's just long enough for our little man to get everything fat and healthy...That's the most important thing.  Oh, well...and maybe long enough for his Mommy and Daddy to come up with a name!!!!!  We are still bouncing around but haven't landed on anything!  Suggestions are welcome!!!!!
Seriously!!!!  HELP!
Annabelle has a few ideas... 



Yep, Twinkle Toes!!  Hey, at least it's an idea!  Better than Mommy and Daddy can do at this point.  There have been many others that she's suggested, but the one she mentioned today is just TOO funny not to share...  It was:
SEMEN!!!
She was saying 'sea' 'man', however, she says it quickly and so of course it sounds like the other version.  LOL!  
Well, Buddy...  What do you think?  Twinkle Toes or 'Sea'man'???  Good thing she doesn't make the final call!!!




One thing is for certain... She's going to be the best big sister and is very excited to meet her new brother.
