5 months pregnant

I'm 20 weeks pregnant this week! Wow...it's flying by way too fast. I had my 5 month doctor's appointment yesterday (2.3.11) and our baby is doing great. The heart rate has remained in the 140's and our baby is always active. The nurse has a tough time catching up with the location of baby's heartbeat! I'm doing great, too. I am with a new doctor with this pregnancy. I really like the doctor who delivered Gabby, but since I want a natural, no- meds delivery, I had to change physicians. My new doctor is terrific and fully supportive of my wishes. We're on the same page on all levels, which feels good. He asked a bit about my personal background yesterday, like where I'm from and how we ended up in GA. At the end of the visit, he commented, "You're definitely from CA!" He lived in Northern CA awhile, and I'm from Southern CA. I'm still not sure exactly what he meant, but he said it with a smile. This is the second time in the past several years that I've been told you can tell I'm from CA. Now I'm curious! :)
Dan and I are having fun pondering baby names. There are so many beautiful ones to choose from! You'd think we'd have run through all of our "best" ones, but that's not the case. We always find more we love. I guess that means we're all set for the next 6! :) The children still hug and kiss my tummy and are excited about our baby. It's a wonderful time, and we're so happy & blessed! Stay tuned...
