15 Weeks and Counting!

Now that I'm well into my second trimester, the icky pukey feeling has subsided. I am definitely getting some energy back and am starting to enjoy being pregnant :)

I must admit, now that I'm physically feeling better, the nerves are setting in. We have sooo much to get done before little Frogger gets here! It seems like we have so long, but I seem to be the queen of procrastination lately (can you tell by how often I post on this blog??) and if I keep procrastinating too much longer, stuff is NEVER going to get done! That being said, I think I will start off by talking Jaime into putting together our new desk this weekend. We had to downsize in the desk area because the huge L shaped one is not going to fit into our room with all of the cat stuff! I'm actually going to use this opportunity to get rid of a whole lot of crap that we have. So far, I got rid of 3 garbage bags worth of junk from going through a portion of our "storage soon to be our babies closet". While nerves are setting in, I know we will get everything done by the time it has to be done by.

Yes, this blog is all over the place - but that is what happens when you don't blog often! We have decided to go with a certified nurse midwife for our prenatal care and delivery. Here is the good part about it. She is a part of an OB's office - so should anything go wrong, there is an attending physician. Also, she only delivers in hospitals - and offers the option of pain relief/epidurals! So it's almost like the best of both worlds - a pain free labor, and the human touch and compassion of a midwife. I believe we are making the best decision for our family by going with the midwife.

Names - oy. Once we know the gender of Frogger, naming will be quite a bit easier. My mom came up with a new one today that I really like for a girl: Riley Leighton. Riley Leighton Cooke. Very different, but classy and cute. Our other options for a girl are still Ava Leigh and Graceyn Leah. Seeing them all here now though, I REALLY like Riley Leighton. A boy will be Matthew Jeremiah. Matthew Jeremiah Cooke. They say boys are easier than girls - tell you what - naming one sure is!!
