Scobee...

As I woke up this morning, I was just laying in bed when I felt what I knew was a kick from my little man! So, I waited before saying anything, just to make sure. Sure enough, he gave me another little kick, Scobee style, assuring me it was him. I called Brian over to feel, but of course he stopped and hasn't kicked again since. LOL! I was so happy to finally know for sure it was my baby moving around! Such a precious miracle :)

We have also decided on a name for our sweet baby boy! Maverick Paul Stiles. Funny story behind this choice. I was at my parents' house one day, with my sister Mandi and her family. My brother in-law, Rick, said we should name him MaveRICK, from Top Gun. I laughed and quickly said, no! Later that night, I was laughing about it and telling Brian what Rick mentioned. Brian immediately looked at me with big brown eyes, and said, "That's it! Maverick Paul!" I was like, are you kidding me?! It was a joke! But he fell in love with the idea. He said it was a "strong manly name, and our kid would be the coolest ever if we gave him that name." I was still against it. It took me a whole week to finally start liking it, then I found out the meaning of Maverick: "Wildly independent; does not conform easily." I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty sweet meaning for a name! From that point on, I fell in love with it. It didn't help that Brian was already referring to him as Maverick, so it just kind of seems like it was already his name. We have gotten a lot of "opinions" about what people think, but he is our son and we are very happy with our name choice for him. :)

My next appointment is on November 12th, only 2 weeks away :)
The morning/afternoon/night/all-the-time sickness is starting to wear off a little, thank God! I still have my days, but I can definitely tell it's getting better. Can't wait to see my little dude again!
