Baby Beluga is the nickname we gave the baby I am carrying now. We gave it to her less than a week after we found out we were pregnant. At this time we obviously didn't know if she was going to be a girl or a boy, and we wanted to be able to call her something more than just baby.
Just a few days after we found out we were pregnant we took a vacation on an Alaskan Cruise. While on this cruise was when we had our first instance of how rocky this pregnancy would be, as it was when the hemorrhage started. About half way through the cruise I was put on modified bed rest, and basically just had to wait to get back home to see if everything was OK. There were a lot of emotions, between being convinced that we had lost the baby, to glimmers of hope. It was around this time that we saw some whales off the ship. Mr. V and I both thought about the "just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo, and somehow the song Baby Beluga popped in both our heads. (you will see it a common theme that we actually do break out into song at random times...). From there the name stuck :)
