Well I think we've deffinately picked a name. We decided on Fletcher. I was pretty suprized because this name kinda has a history with me. When we were in the eighth grade there were already those social lines drawn in our school. I was a very very unpopular girl. But we had a very close knit group of about 8 "outcasts". There was a boy named Fletcher Gust who moved into our school just for a few years. He was a very very good friend who ended up moving at the end of eighth grade. As I've mentioned Jay (my husband) was in the EXTREAMLY popular group. So he didn't know Fletcher but now he knows that he was a special person in my life. I was afraid that Jay would feel jelous or resentfull or something. But he was the one who suggested Fletcher. SO Fletcher William Thomas it will be. I'm excited I think it's a good name. This makes it even more real for me. He has a name and he's going to be here in several weeks. I've ordered my fancy cosleeper bolster I'm excited about getting that. I've been having lots of dreams about babies and I just cant wait to start breastfeeding my little guy.
As far as my health is going. I think my infection is finally cleared. I hope. I still have days where I have alot of pain from my gallbladder. I've tried to stick with the (nearly impossible) diet. If I don't then the pain is worse. I've even gained about 2 pounds. I have to kinda laugh cuz I'm going to see this midwife that I saw earlier in my pregnancy before all the craziness. She had told me that I would gain about 25 pounds. Well I've never gained even 20 pounds so I was rather doubtfull. Now I weigh less than when I got pregnant.
I'm not worried because the baby has had many many ultrasounds. He weighs about 4 pounds. He's very healthy. SO I'm not all that concerned. Now that my health has stabilized a bit I really wanna hold out till the "real" end of the pregnancy. There's NO WAY I'm going to let them induce me or do a Csection on me. Well If one of us were going to die of course I would let them ANYTHING. But it has always been my dream to have a natural birth in a birth tub. My "dream" plan would be to give birth in this specail birthing center room at our hospital. It's ment to be a place with as little medical intervention as posible. There's a water birth tub right in that room. I just want to be alone with my husband and (maybe) my sister. I don't want the nurses/doctors to be in an out a million times. I use music, meditation, and breathing to get through my labors. SO I don't want I.V's or epidurals. I want to move around and change posistions as much as possible to keep my labor progressing. I"m looking forward to be in that tub and have my husband help me deliver the baby.

I'm looking forward to being a Pen Pal. Sadly, I won't be able to really get into the swing of things until June, since I'm moving and my future mailing address is still to-be-determined.
