30 week update

Many of you have asked how my pregnancy is going so here is a quick update...

I'm now 30 weeks pregnant. The due date is October 15th but I won't mind going a couple of weeks early. I will be delivering here in Skopje, Macedonia. I am using a private hospital only about 10 minutes from our home. They have all modern equipment and will be able to do a c-section on me if there are any complications during delivery. The baby appears to be very healthy! Yesterday we had a fetal ekocardiogram (standard test at this private hospital) on the baby's heart and the heart is perfect! We still don't know if it's a boy or girl but that's okay...we are going to be thrilled either way! We're still thinking through name ideas but for now we like "Stephen Thaddeus" for a boy and "Olivia Elyse" for a girl. I'd love to see some comments posted on what you all think of these names or other suggestions!

I love the name Stephen Thaddeus. It sounds so cool. I have a suspicion though, it's a little girl. But either way I will be very happy whether a boy or girl.

Love Papa Wes
