7th Appointment:
So every two weeks now until the 36th week, I’ll be coming in for a checkup. Today, measure the belly, baby’s growing. Done. Heartbeat. Healthy. Beautiful. I think next appointment, I’ll try to record the heartbeat since we did the same for Emma’s.
Did I tell you? I think this one’s a boy? We’re not sure. No new ultrasound.
So far, I’ve gained 20 lbs. Pretty good, but I have 8 weeks left so I can only gain one pound a week. Oh my. Anything but the 49 lbs. I gained on my first pregnancy! Last two months are gonna be a challenge. Sad thing is that I can’t fast this Easter with my church.
Names:
Do we have names? Of course!
Girl: Zienne (fem.form of Zion, Zen for short)
Boy: Zacharias (Zias for short, or Ravi…kidding)
We’ll tell you our reasons once we confirm the gender.
God-parents:
Do we have Ninangs and Ninongs? Yes, and they’re bad mamajamas.
One thing Perze and I did discuss regarding Godparents is that, no offense to anyone, but we really desire them to be God-fearing individuals. And for whatever reason we cannot take care of our children, we hope that these people will take our place to also spiritually lead/guide them as we would- living out our family verse Romans 12:1. And not just people who believe in God but people who live in Him.
And not just this, but they’re people who we’re involved with and communicate on a consistent basis, and not just events, so they can also be involved w/ their Godchild.
