We are having a BaBy!!!!

I'm back and excited to say... We are pregnant and couldn't be more excited!!!

I've been told (actually read) many time that I should start a pregnancy journal so I have decided to BLOG instead.  My diary begins today:  TEN WEEKS AND ONE DAY into my pregnancy.  I'll still be talking about food so don't worry, but you may choose not to read this if you are not into BABIES because that is what I will be talking about :)

This is my first pregnancy.  These feeling, emotions, and physical changes are a first for me.  I have been doing LOTS of research and gaining tons of knowledge so I don't feel alone or under educated on the matter but its still all firsts for me.

We have chosen to use Midwifes and I plan to have as NATURAL of a child birth as my body will allow.  I know, I know there are always circumstances where this may not be possible BUT i have total faith in my body and its ability to do what it was built to do!

Yesterday, we heard our babies HEARTBEAT.  It was amazing, crazy, emotional, and scary during the search for it.  I had no idea that a mini human, currently the size of a small LIME (about 2 inches), could have such a fast heartbeat.  I was so impressed and proud of my little guy (or gal).

Its a lot smaller than this lime

FYI: this is not me

Things you should know:
1) We made our baby in ALASKA!
2) I have come up with some "names" that my husband will NOT agree to name our baby.  The list will continue to grow, but here is a start:  
         DENALI- not the truck (damn you truck)! but the national park in Alaska that Eric and I flew   over and landed on during our vacation.  I would name a baby girl this but it has been vetoed because of the truck.
         ALASKA- vetoed only because Eric does NOT want a name that has anything to do with a state, country, season, month, color, or emotion.  I think some of these names are beautiful (like April one of my dear friends names) but he claims they are too "hippy" and "in season" so I guess (i'm being sarcastic) i have to agree.
        MYRON- vetoed because our last name is Meyer... LOL just say it "Myron Meyer."  This was my grandpas middle name and he recently passed.  We like the name just couldn't do that to our kid.
3) I am hoping that blogging will allow people who are interested in what i have to say, find it fun to follow and read.  At the same time, I hope that those people in my life who think this is all i talk about will find this no longer is true because i will use my blog to share my thoughts and not have as much to say in person... i hope.  I also think it is completely normal that this miracle growing inside me is ALL i want to talk about :)
4) I feel so blessed and lucky.  I am more grateful than words can describe for the life i am living.

Baby, bAby, baBy, babY, BABY!

PS: I secretly hope i'm prego with twins.
