The name. So why do we call you baby lobster? Well it all goes back to your 12 week appointment. We absolutely love our doctor but she is always running behind. We deal with it because we love her. So there we were waiting, and waiting, and waiting in the exam room. This was a teeny tiny room in the doctors brand new office and there was barely enough room for the exam table and one chair. This chair was so close to the door that if anyone sat in it would block anyone from entering the room. So your dad was just standing there. Just there. Standing. I am sitting on the table and he is awkwardly standing there, hovering. And since the doctor was running behind it was an eternity waiting in this room. And he is just standing there. He actually does this a lot. Just stands there. I can't remember what we said but eventually he sat in the chair to make me happy. One of the many reasons he rocks. So there we were waiting for the doctor, both seated. Finally the doctor comes in and the appointment began. The doctor has me lay down and is using the Doppler to find your heartbeat. After about 30 seconds she still can't find anything. I don't know about Andrew but I swear my heart stopped beating and I wasn't breathing. Where was your heartbeat? The doctor, probably sensing my breakdown coming reassured us. "Don't worry. Hear that sound? That is your baby being a twerp." And sure enough we heard this swooshing sound over and over again. You moving so much she can't get the heartbeat. So the doctor brought us into the ultrasound room where we got to see you again. Wow. Last time we say you you looked like Olaf from Frozen. Now, you were an honest to goodness baby. Flipping around in there like my uterus is your personal playground. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. We saw you doing backflips and rolls over and over. The doctor had a hard time getting a photo of you and one that she did get makes you look like a lobster right as you threw your head back ready to flip over. Hands high over your head. So flipping cute. Puntastic ;) So there are a couple of your nicknames: Olaf, baby lobster, and twerp
