We Have a Name...and other stuff...

We saw Dr. Rowe today and got to see our wonderfully healthy little girl again! All blood work has come back good (no genetic issues) and she is right on if not a little big for her age. Her heart is perfect (thus far), her brain is developing as it should and all other parts are there and working...as far as we can tell. Katie went with us for the first time and was pretty excited to see her little sister. It was also the first time that Dr. Rowe got to meet her outside of my tummy. Katie loved him and gave him a big hug and "Thank You!" If not for Dr. Rowe and Dr. Miller...our babies would still be dreams...so it was pretty cool for us to see Katie connect with Dr. Rowe right away. Here's a picture of our little girl's profile. She is getting so big in there...almost weighs a pound! A big relief is that she has a normal umbilical cord...unlike her big sis. Obviously it did not hurt Katie...but it is one less stress for this pregnancy. We are just over 21 weeks...so she will be growing like a weed from this point on. I cannot wait to meet her in 17 weeks or so!!! So, now you might be asking..."What is the name already?" We have decided to name her Brooklyn Taylor Aust. We orignially had a more traditional name picked out...but once we saw our little girl...she just needed a sportier name. If you like/love the name...skip ahead and for those who do not like the name we have chosen...read on: I will ask that any negative comments be kept secret...or at least kept from us. We have already had some comments about the name we have chosen and quite honestly it is our decision and our decision only. That being said...we are very excited that she is healthy and is enjoying kicking me from the inside for the time being. Be sure to check back for further updates!
