I am just over 17 weeks now. Everything is going well so far. Patrick and I went to the doctor last Wednesday, and he said the baby is doing good. He has a small ultra sound in his office, and we looked at the baby. He or she (we’re not sure yet) is growing! 

We set an appointment for January 27 when we will find out what we are having. I will be 20 weeks by then. We are excited to find out! Any guesses?

Most of our family members think we’re having a boy and a friend I taught on my mission has told me I will have a boy first for the past five years. So we’ll see! A few have said we’re having a girl (well, Patrick’s brother is the main one, and a girl in our primary class). I’ll post when we find out.

We’ve picked out a few names. If it is a girl we like Allison (call her Allie). This is after the lady from my mission that I taught that I mentioned above. We’re really close, and I’ve always wanted to name a girl after her. We also like Samantha. If we have a boy, we like Tyler. 

Here is a cute story… A few weeks ago in our primary class (we only had one girl that day) we asked Anna what we she thought we’re having. She said, “A girl.” Then we asked her what we should name her. She said, “Allie.” We were surprised because she had no idea what names we’ve picked!
