Choo Choo!

If I knew how to upload sound I so would so everyone could hear our sweet Baby's heartbeat! It is my most favorite sound right now, and Jose's he'll randomly just make the sound of our Baby's heartbeat! I love it!

We had our first prenatal on Tuesday! I am so much more excited about using a midwife more then ever after that appointment. Thalia (the midwife) was in the middle of a birth so the student midwife (Jeri) was there to meet with us which was WONDERFUL! Since she is interning and training it was almost more special, I felt like we got extra, extra special attention and got to go through things very slowly, which I loved. Normally the appointments would only run about 30 min. but Jeri got to spend over an hour with us! I loved it. And to top it off our Baby's heart is strong enough that we could hear it! I was too excited to cry although I wanted too, all I could do was laugh, and smile bigger then the Grand Canyon. We went back up front to pay our deposit and all that wonderful stuff and we got to talking on how we should have recorded the sound, so Jeri being wonderful said "We can go find it again if you want". So of course we did, and got our precious sound at the push of a button!

I've started to show or at least I think I am. You can definitely tell when I sit down or wear a belt right up under my boobs, which I tend to do a lot of just to make it noticeable. :)

This was taken at 7 weeks 6 days if I'm not mistaken.

so in love.

with this...

cooler weather.

Jose.

this baby.

being pregnant.

life.

Thought I'd blog real quick I will post a legit entry tomorrow(technically later) after our FIRST OFFICIAL PRENATAL APPOINTMENT! I am so excited about it. I will be 9 weeks and we'll get the hear our little person's heartbeat (hopefully). Our midwife says it may be too early to hear despite the fact that he/she does have one, so who knows either way this having a baby on the way stuff will definitely set in for sure.

I do have quite the bump as the day goes on. In the morning it's pretty much nothing but once it's time for bed I look very much so pregnant (and I love it, I wish I had a basketball for a belly until October right now).

I've started to have cravings more out of the normal. Before I wouldn't second guess going to Taco Bell or any fast food chain, now it sounds almost repulsive. All I want is soup, salad and sandwiches. And sugar... Gatorade, candy, Popsicles, and snow cones. So according to the Chinese Gender Calendar the baby is a boy but according to the old wives' tale the baby is a girl. My mother says that according to the wives' tale (crave salt=boy, crave sugar=girl) all 7 of us were girls. And according to some fertility things on when you tried to get pregnant it's up in the air and could be either or but since boy swimmers swim faster then girl swimmers we are most likely having a girl but who knows. The baby knows, their external sex organs are being formed this week although we won't be able to tell for another 11 weeks or so (and the baby will look like a girl more or less now anyways).

Speaking of the Gender Calendar, I wanted to see how true it was since my mom had a village of children and all, we approximated most of them to be true but they mostly could have been wrong(she couldn't remember how old she was or the exact months she got pregnant, some of us were late and some of us were c-section scheduled...etc.),but Jose tried it out for his mom and he was a girl but it was right with Ben.
