Here's the latest ultrasound-- looking more baby-like. Just look at that spine! And the wee pelvis! I haven't felt any moving yet, so I think he is still maxing and relaxing a while longer.
I'm still feeling pretty good, except for the major nasal congestion. I won't detail that any further because it's gross-- I'll just say it's my payback for not having morning sickness. I've also been feeling great in ballet class. Oddly enough, this little guy is helpfully shifting my weight lower and making my dancing more precise with less effort. Score!
Jeremy and I are now in the throes of the baby name game. Our loose criteria:
1. Interesting, but not too weird
2. meaningful culturally or ethnically to us
3. euphonious-- also, either an alliteration or consonance with Lynch
The name that really jumped out at me yesterday was "Elijah Emmanuel Lynch", but I think it might be a teensy bit too religious. Although we could throw Mohammed Vishnu in there for extra protection. Somehow we are both pretty taken with Elijah, not least because you always have to save a seat for him. In Germany they will pronounce it "El-ee-yah" which I can't decide if I like or not.
Don't worry, we are building a big list. It will probably take us the rest of the time to figure out. Unfortunately, our favorite dance and science guys have booooring names. Or too French. We're not going to name the poor thing Jean-Philippe Lynch.

David and I went round and round and round about names. "Noah" was born after we poured through four baby name books, reading aloud ones we liked (to have them poo-pooed by the other of us). We finally made a list of our top 10 (or was it 20?) and "Noah" was the ONLY name on both lists. And there you have it. Lord help us if we ever have another boy someday!
I don't remember Jean-Phillippe being in the running...I kind of like it...
You nut! If we name the kid Jean-Philippe, one of us had better be able to speak French.
ooh, spine! and I see femur too! yay for femurs. I'm sure a name will just come to you. You will hear/read/imagine a certain name over and over, and you will be overcome by it's perfection. Or at least that's how my Pollyanna brain works
I am amazed by the technology! He seems strong and intelligent. I can tell. When considering a name, remember the child has to go to school!!!
Tibia and fibula!
Your mother already made the point which I was going to make, lol. ANd I'm trying to come up with a bad pun using the word "humerus" and I'm just too tired. I'm happy for you guys, though
