Week 27- Our Baby Boy has a Name!
Sorry it's been a while. I've been putting updating the blog off in the hopes to update you all with a baby bump picture but my schedule seems to be too busy to capture an image of my quickly growing belly. Hopefully I can get one this weekend. But, we have marked a milestone, Jamie and I have agreed on a name! Out little man is no longer nameless: Luke Alan Campbell is his name. We are both very excited to have a name picked out for him. It proved to be a challenging task but with patients and compromise we named our son.
What's In a Name?
The name Luke is Greek in origin. It means to be a native of Lucania, a region of Italy. Luke is also sometimes used in the English form which means bright, light or illuminate. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration (2006), Luke is the 43rd most popular name of new babies. Alan is a family name in the Campbell family. It is given as a middle name to the first born son. Jamie is very proud to keep this tradition alive.
Some Famous Luke's
What's Luke Up To?
Our little guy is about 15 inches long now and is weighing in at about two pounds. He has been pretty active in my belly. I feel him bouncing around in there at different times of the day. One time it caught me off guard and was so prominent that I actually said ouch out loud! Jamie finally was able to feel him moving about my belly. Luke is very active at night when I'm laying down to sleep. If he is positioned just right in my belly you can hear his heart by placing your ear up to my stomach. I had a Drs. Appointment last week that went well. We have another ultrasound scheduled the beginning of April. Can't wait to see some pictures it feels like it's been forever.
Other Stuff
Overall I've been feeling pretty good. I've run into some minor complications along the way but for the most part I've been doing well. On Valentine's weekend I was admitted over night to labor and delivery for a kidney infection. I'm on antibiotics for the remainder of the pregnancy to keep this in check. Kidney infections are prone to reoccurring in pregnancy so hopefully the medication will keep it regulated because I don't want to endure that kind of pain again until labor ;0) I did get a sneak preview of what it's going to be like when the big day comes, so I look at it as a fire drill. I also had a glucose/diabetes scare. I failed my 6 month screening and had to go in for elaborate testing. Fortunately the extended test came back normal and I'm diabetes free. What a relief! My belly finally popped a few weeks ago. Wednesday my jeans fit and when I went to put the same pair of jeans on that Saturday I couldn't even get the button near the loop. The following Tuesday barely and of my shirts fit. I've been maternity clothes shopping here and there and I've also been fortunate enough to have friends let me borrow maternity clothes. Strangers have finally started approaching me and asking if I'm pregnant and when I'm due.
