Will "Baby Baker" be a Boy or a Girl??

Josh and I find out Monday whether we will be blessed with a little boy or girl! We are so excited and can't wait to find out! It has been six weeks since my last appointment so I am extra anxious just to see and hear the baby again. I know boy or girl we will be so thrilled, I just need to hear that the baby is healthy and perfect!

I have also been feeling the baby here and there, so it has been a little reassurance that everything is going well. During week 14 I was holding the laptop against my stomach and felt something different in my stomach, I wasn't sure if it could be the baby so soon, but as the weeks went on I continued to feel the same feelings every few days or so. On Halloween I actually felt more of a kick than just flutters I am sure it wasn't what a true kick feels like but it was the hardest feeling I had felt so far. I have only felt the baby a few times a week, and today has definitely been one of those days, I swear I felt the baby turn a flip tonight (probably because I am cramping it's space by still wearing regular pants). I get so excited each time I feel the baby move, it almost brings tears to my eyes every time. I just can't wait until I can call this baby by name and continue to feel the baby grow and grow!

Speaking of names, luckily this topic has been a pretty easy decision for Josh and I. I have always wanted to name my little boy, Reed, this is my mother's maiden name and I have always thought it would be a great name for a little boy. I was so excited when Josh really liked the name as well, The girl's name was a little harder, but I LOVE the name Addelyn! My middle name is Lyn, spelled with one "n", so Addelyn just fit! I also think Adde is the cutest shortened name! :) Josh liked it immediately as well! I think partly because he also likes the "lyn" part of the name. Josh has called me Lyn for short since we were in high school, don't know when it started or how, but for some reason he likes the name. So we agreed on two names and they have stuck and we really haven't discussed other ones. I guess this might change after Monday!

Now if we can just make it through the weekend......
