The Woo Hoo's of Pregnancy


Here I am with Baby T.3 at 14weeks and starting to make an appearance!!
This was taken after 2 bowls of queso and an Enchilada dinner at Abuelos!!!
Thats right, I am finally starting to feel good enough to get out & EAT; so my 4 wonderful sisters decided to help me celebrate by going  to a resturant(mexian was my choice- seems to be what I am craving with this pregnancy- cheese especially)! We had a nice time and I decided since I was dressed up that I would take my 1st pregnancy belly picture!!!!
In other news, I chose a midwife with this pregnancy and I am absolutely excited about my decision!! I will still be delivering at a hospital if I dont have it at home with Michael :) One of the many things I love about being under the care of a midwife is that they dont care if you labor at home all day... you can even stay home after your water breaks- they encourage you to stay home and labor there. I love the idea of just Michael and I doing it on our own.... my prayer is that I will have the strength and endurance to stay at home until I am like 7cm and then by the time I get to the hospital I will just push the baby out :) So Ideal, I know!! Too bad labor never goes how you plan and baby's are on no ones time table but their own... :) One thing is for sure- I am setting my mind to have a beautiful birth and having my own control over that, no matter what ends up happening!
That is my goal and I know having a midwife that she has the same goal, and I am just so thrilled about that!! She is so great with me and it is a huge bonus that she is a believer! At my last visit I got to hear the baby's heartbeat (Michael had to stay home with the boys) so my midwife suggested we called him and let him hear over the phone. Well, he didnt answer, but we left it on his voice mail which he got and loved it! Now we have it saved and can listen to it whenever we want! Something really special about hearing the child growing inside you!! 
Now that I am starting to feel a little better and showing,  plus I got to hear the heartbeat for the 1st time... I am starting to enjoy pregnancy finally. I'm getting excited enough to start thinking about names now!!! We like Kendon Jude if its a boy and Serenity Yael for a girl; but we dont LOVE them!! I like unique names and Michael likes common names and both of us are big on meanings, so it is really hard to agree. We are open to ideas if anyone wants to take a jab at it :) We are having a sonogram on my birthday, Sep. 18th but were not going to find out the sex, we have chosen to be surprised this time around!! So we have to pick both a girl name &  boy name- this should be interesting!           February couldn't get here any sooner!!!!!!!!
So I think it is all up hill for now because the Woo Hoo's outweigh the Woes by a long mile! :)
