Rumors

Yes, the rumors are true!!
We are expecting a new little bundle of joy sometime at the beginning of August! The "due date" is the 3rd, but after Libby arriving ten days late I don't really trust those. :) I'll be thrilled if he/she arrives before my mom's birthday on the 11th.

That puts me at 11 weeks tomorrow so I'm almost out of the first trimester already! This time around has been quite a bit different. I've been more queasy than I ever was with Libby. Thankfully that has stopped but there are days when I can hardly eat anything. With Libby I was starving all the time but thankfully that has not been the case! The last time I checked I hadn't gained any weight so that makes me happy because I really didn't need to in the first trimester.

I found a group of mid-wives at an area hospital that we're going to use. They seem really nice and just right up our ally. I looked into using a birthing center but, strange as it may sound, it's hugely important for me to have unlimited hot water! And that was a concern especially with one place we looked at that had 3 rooms and only ONE bathroom! No way! This is a very highly rated hospital so I think we'll be happy with it.

So far we have no names picked out at all. We had Libby's picked out years ago, but don't really have any others we both like! We want something that has strong meaning, is beautiful, and not very popular. So there are lots of names that fit two of those criteria but not many that fit all three. We haven't even decided if we want to find out the sex of this baby, but we still have a while to figure that out. I do think it would be really fun to be surprised and all of Libby's bedding and gear are all gender neutral anyway. We'd just have to perhaps buy some gender specific clothing. And maybe towels, could I wrap a baby boy in a bright pink towel? :) We'll just have to wait and see! Oh and if the babe is a boy the middle name has to go with Bryan (Tim's middle name) in case you have any suggestions. :)
