Travel time....

So, I got a taste of what traveling with babies will be like when I finally have my little wonder... :)

I went to Fort Myers and flew there with a close friend. We sit in our seats, after a scuffle with a woman who moved her 3 seats that were scattered all over the plane into our row, and finally settle in for the 2 and a half hour flight to our tropical vacation. I have my little 2 year old buddy sitting with me. The plane takes off and no kidding, within 2 minutes, as we are still ascending, he starts puking ALL over me, ALL over the carpet, and doesn't stop. After mom takes him back to change him, he gets back and starts puking more. All we could do was laugh at knowing we still had 2 more hours on the flight. Luckily, we made it to Fort Myers with no more puking and I had a great time visiting my Miss Young in Fort Myers :)

In other news...we have made our appointment for our anatomy scna to find out if our little bean is a boy or a girl!!

August 6th we find out at 11am and CANNOT wait to know!!

We also have decided on some pretty amazing Irish names for our baby!

If it is a boy, we are going to name him Declan (pronounced DECK-lan) which means "full of goodness" and was the name of a 5th century missionary in Ireland.

If it is a girl, her name will be Maeve (pronounced MAY-v) which means "intoxicating" or "daughter of song" and was a 1st century warrior queen of Ireland.

Obviously, we are going for some seriously Irish names, I mean, with a name like MURPHY, why wouldn't we???

So, thats about it for now. At my last appointment they said everything looked great and the baby was very active since they couldn't get him/her to stop moving l0ong enough for an accurate heart beat!! Finally, after several minutes, she got it and we have a speed racer at 160 bpm.

Nothing else really...and since I got such a POOR response from my last question...I will ask it again because I am curious of the response....

Do you think we are having a boy or a girl??

Ter -
Great names!! I am feeling a Maeve in the very near future for you. I vote for a girl. Can't wait to hear the final results!

Much peace,
Matt
