We have a name!!! (and other new things) ~

So first things first... we have finally decided on a name for lil boy number 2! We have had a lot of options since the beginning and have slowly been narrowing it down. It's really one of the only names that all three of us like. His name will be: Lincoln Woodruff Blackwood
We ALL love the name Lincoln and for short we might call him Linc, or some other made up nick name :) Woodruff was Mark's Granddad's name, who passed away when Mark was small. So that's it! It feels soooo good to finally have a name for this lil bugger and be able to call him something!
We went to my (supposed to be) last specialist appointment on Tuesday. Everything looks really great, we got some awesome 4D images of his squishy little face. He is weighing at least 5 pounds at this point, so he is definitely healthy in weight :) The only bummer is that he is laying sideways...he has been head down for a while now, so we thought he would stay that way, but I guess not. I'm doing some exercises to try and get him to flip and we are really hoping and praying that he does. We still have some time for him to make his way down so were not to concerned yet. So I will go back in in about 3 weeks (when I'm about 37 weeks) and we'll see if there's any progress. Otherwise they can try and rub/ work him down. And worst case scenario is I will need a C-section... I REALLY REALLY don't want a c-section, but as long as Lincoln and I are healthy that's all that really matters. So prayers for his rotation would be awesome!
So on a none baby related note :) Conner is enjoying his summer break so far like crazy! We pretty much live at the pool and he is growing gills. Even with high SPF he is now looking part African American :) Today we had a bunch of boys over from school for a pool party, so that was awesome for him to get to be crazy with his friends!
We are all moved into the new place, and it's great to have some more space, and to be able to set Lincoln's cute room up! Conner loves his new room, not only is it bigger, but he gets an awesome view of the pool and tennis courts from one of his windows :) And we are all three enjoying our time together before Mark has to leave on June 17th, he will only be gone for a few weeks, but I know both Conner and I will miss having him around all the time. We are so thankful though that he has been on break since May to be able to do so much for us, making it nice for me to not have to do anything, and playing with Conner and being super involved with everything he has going on. That's all for now, I'm sure more posts to come soon!!!
