Checkups

So, now im on 2 week checkups at the Doctors office and still with the midwife. Im not sure yet which way im going to go. The medicaid picks up all the fees for Doctor/Hospital delivery, although I REALLY wanted to do a natural home birth. Just talked to the Midwife at the Dr office and she said I can have a perfectly naturaly, drug free, comfortable birth at the hospital birthing center and then have the security of knowing if anything goes wrong I am right there....its so confusing and we are still not sure how to go about this but praying God leads in the coming weeks.

Going to start taking a birthing class if we can find one cheap enough around here! ive heard its about $300 for a 12 week class!!! (and i only have 12 1/2 weeks left) So, not too sure about that. We are trying to find something that is cheap and will be able to take me right now since its about that time!!

Sophia is moving ALOT these days...i love to just sit and watch my belly ripple and move when she kicks and moves around. She is quite the gymnist...i have a hard time telling what im feeling..butt, hands, feet, head...its all so tiny!!! :) She HATES heart monitors and today at the midwife refused to sit still while she was trying to get a heartrate...lol...no matter who does it she moves around and kicks like crazy:) its so cute...

Kicker!!!

I just have to say she is kicking way more now..seems like overnight she is kicking about 20 times in a row almost every 3 hours! thats really good from what I read. During Church on Sunday she kicked the entire way through the last song we sang...it was a very moving, loud praise and worship song so either she likes singing or it was just loud...haha:)

Finally have an appointment to go see a OB/GYN in February since I got the medicaid and also found out today I can go to the Chiropractor!!! amazing news...that will be so nice.

Every day seems to get me more and more excited about meeting her and having my girl with me "outside" the womb to cuddle and kiss:)

Tata for now!

Sophia May

We had a second ultrasound yesterday at 23 weeks:) ITS A GIRL!!! We've decided on the name Sophia May. Her due date is stil May 24th...and mommy is hoping this is a late date...:)

Sophia kicks and moves around ALOT! The ultrasound tech kept having to reposition me and move around to get a good look at her. She kicks pretty hard sometimes for such a little thing and like to kick my full bladder too:) The picture shows her doing the "live long and prosper" gesture from StarTrek. :) it was so cute!

We are moving at the end of February probably near Gettysburg. We will then start setting up the second bedroom in whatever apartment we get for Sophia. I can see loooooooots of pink going in there now that we know what she is!! (rick "oh no") :P

Please keep us in your prayers that Rick can find a good job with insurance, otherwise we will need to stay on unemployment so we can have medicaid to cover Sophia and I.
