Baby Girl Update




We are excited to announce that Baby Girl Compton #2 finally has a name!  Maggie Elizabeth Compton is the winning name.  Family names are very important to us...ok, to me Martha, so it meant a lot to find a name with connection to family.  Campbell's first name is my great-grandmother's maiden name and her middle name, Ann, is my middle name.  Maggie is the name my grandfather always called my grandmother (even though it wasn't actually her name).  She passed away when I was young but I've always heard about what a great woman she was so we are excited to honor her.  The name Elizabeth is popular in our family and includes my sister, aunt, grandmother, and cousin.

I had an OB appointment today and it went very well!  My blood pressure was 122/68 and everything else was perfect.  Maggie is a very active baby and when the dr was trying to hear her heartbeat, we could hear her moving.  Dr. McClelland also changed my due date to May 29th.  Originally we thought that would be the due date, but when we had our 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks, that doctor put the date at June 1st.  Dr. McClelland thought that since she's consistently measured ahead that the May 29th date is the most accurate.  I was happy because that means I'm 3 days further along than I thought which is 3 days closer to a healthy baby!  I have an ultrasound next week with the specialist to measure her growth.  We'll keep you posted!  Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers!

What a lovely tribute to your Granny. She would have so loved to see you girls grow up and then to see her great grandchildren born. I have to believe she's watching out for all of us and I'm sure she was in attendance when Campbell was born. Love you all, Mom

We LOVE the name. This was always one that I thought sounded nice and it's so cool that it has a family tradition. Glad you're doing well!
