Alexander Gerard Lamb

Last week we had our 2D Ultrasound. We had to use the telemedicine with UAMS, so we could get specialist to look over the results and make sure everything was ok. Since I was on coumadin when I became pregnant, and am on Lovenox every 12 hours and have had a DVT and bi lateral PE's, this pregnancy is considered high risk. We are so thankful that everything looked ok with the baby, and with me. It was a great appointment other than being 18 weeks pregnant and lying on a hard table for an hour and 20 minutes. One neat thing we found out at this appointment was that we are having a BOY! yep - another BOY! We smiled and laughed when they told us the news, and of course asked how sure they were. Bill, the untrasound technician, said if he were a betting man, he'd bet boy. He even printed us out a picture of the "proof".

We decided on a name a few weeks ago for a boy. We had a small challenge of trying to pick something out that matched up with Maximus Warner Lamb. We couldn't exactly name our next boy Bob. We decided on Alexander. We thought that sounded like a good strong name, and we thought Alex and Max sounded good together. Gerard is my favorite part of the name. Maximus Warner is not only named after his dad (Mike) Micheal Warner, but after Grandpa Lamb - Barden Warner Lamb. We thought it would be great to give Alex my grandfather's middle name which was Gerard, so he will be named after Wilbur Gerard Van Es. ( My grandfather actually also had a twin named Gerard Wilbur). My grandfather passed away 10 years ago from a burning accident in his backyard. We all have missed him so much, and he meant a lot to me, so it means a lot to me to be able to name one of my sons after him. We also thought it was neat that both of our sons will have a great grandfather's middle name.

So Alexander Gerard Lamb is due September 20th. We will have a C-section a few weeks before to hopefully prevent anything close to the first labor with Max. I am shooting for September 8th or 9th - we will keep you updated as the day gets closer and the day gets set!
