Baby "Bob"

No we are not planning on naming our little one Bob (sorry Grandpa Robert) but that is what Shelby has decided to name him. We are not sure where she got it from but every time you ask her what baby brother's name is, she replies Bob. Stu and I are coming closer to deciding a name but even if we make a decision we are not letting anyone know until the boy is born.
We had another doctor's appointment yesterday plus ultrasound. With having gestational diabetes, we were a little worried about the size of him. I do not want a 9 lb. child! He is over 4 pounds which the doctor said he is in the 50% for weight. She understands my concerns though and we will keep monitoring to make sure he doesn't end up on the bigger side.
They are concerned with the low amount of amniotic fluid around him. We ended up doing a non-stress test on him yesterday to make sure that his movement and heartbeat are fine. Which both are. I will be doing another ultrasound next week to check the fluid again. Hopefully, it is just caused by me being a little dehydrated instead of something else. If next week, after me really focusing on drinking water, the fluids are still low then we will have to talk about next steps. Which would probably be more monitoring via ultrasounds and more non-stress test with the possibility of having him early. So we are not that concerned about it yet because he is doing fine and we don't know the reason for low fluids yet.
Hopefully next week I will post pictures of the ultrasound. This week's were not as clear due to the low fluids.
