Where to begin?

So, I figured I would jump on the blog bandwagon considering we now have a lot to talk about! My husband, Ruben, and I are expecting out first baby on August 21st! We are 20 weeks pregnant with a baby boy we will name Julian.....still working on a middle name =). I feel so blessed to have this miracle growing inside of me, and he just started letting me know he was in there....I felt his first little kicks a couple of days ago. It is the most amazing feeling! He seems to like to say "Hi" around 10pm each night, and I look forward to it becoming more frequent. We shall see if I change my mind about that when he gets a bit bigger =) Here is the latest sono


16 weeks 1 day



Its a BOY!!



Julian has been treating his Mommy very nicely and is growing right on schedule. My prediction: he will be 2 weeks late and be a BIG baby! Haha. This week I have started to have much more energy, and I am feeling great! We are seeing a midwife group, which I absolutely love. No, I will not be having the baby at home, or in a tub (yuck!). I will deliver at the hospital, and if all goes as planned, with the help of my wonderful husband and soon to be midwife friend, Katie, it will be an al' naturale birth! We have been super spoiled from having a friend as a midwife, and have had...not 1, not 2 or 3, but 4 sonograms so far! It is neat seeing him grow so fast. Lets see, according to my readings, he should be about as big as a mango so far weighing in at about 10 ounces! Julian must agree, he just kicked! =) It is crazy how much I love this little mango already!
