Thank you to everyone for voting on our names. After much thought, we think we have a name for our sweet baby #2.... Matt wanted to name him Mason Matthew, while I wanted the name to be Brady Matthew. Since we both couldn't agree on either name we decided to go with Dylan Matthew! After researching the name Dylan we knew it was meant to be. We decorated baby #2's room in a surfer/beach theme. After looking up what Dylan means, we were happily surprised to see that it means "son of the sea". Dylan is also a Welsh name, which is the same origin as Gavin's name. So there you have it
Last Thursday (1/12/12), we went in for an ultrasound to make sure the baby was doing well and check if I had progressed any further. The ultrasound tech called my doctor after completing the ultrasound and said my doctor wanted me to go in to see him. Once we got to my doctor's office the doctor checked me out and said I was in between 50-75% effaced and 2cm dilated! We were shocked! He asked that I take it easy for the next week to get me to 37 weeks. He said he wasn't too worried about our situation since we are approaching what is considered to be full term (37-40 weeks) and because the baby is a good size. The baby weighs approximatley 6 pounds 8oz. Gavin weighed 6'10" when he was born so I think even if Dylan does come early he will still weigh more then Gavin.
My sister and Nick came down over the long weekend to help out around the house and see if our new bundle would arrive. There were lots of braxton hicks, back aches and headaches but no baby! If Dylan is anything like Gavin then we could have him arrive by this Wednesday or Thursday. With Gavin I was dialated 1cm and 75% effaced one week prior to when he was born. But that is the beauty of labor...you just never know!
