If you're reading this then I'm sure you already heard that Lance and I are having a baby! We've started to announce our little suprise to a few friends and family. I really wanted to wait until around 12 weeks, but it's just so hard to keep a secret like that! So if you weren't the first to know, I'm sorry, but I pretty much told random people out of sheer excitement.
It's an amazing feeling to know that from this moment on, I am taking care of a precious life. I'm already worrying, concerned about what I feed her (Yes, I have been calling our baby a "her" because I have this gut feeling we're having a girl!) , and planning for our future.
Our due date is November 2nd and incase you're wondering, November was a "yellow" month for me. For everyone who knows how much I LOVE to plan, you know what I'm talking about.
Tuesday was our first doctor visit. It was actually last minute. I have spent the last 2-3 weeks researching which doctor to deliver our baby, and it was really a touch decision. How do you just pick a name from a list of doctors? I even had an interview scheduled with a midwife to see what my birthing options were. Then on Monday I attended the Ribbon Cutting of the new Methodist Hospital in Stone Oak and had a chance to take a tour. It's amazing! Right across the street was Dr. Villanueva's a.ka. "Dr. V's" new office. I've actually read some great ratings on ratemd.com and was excited when I found out he was covered with my new insurance. I gave him a call Tuesday morning and they said "come on in this afternoon!". So I did! I finally got to see my little lima bean's heart beat flutter on the screen. Doc said we've got a healthy, strong beat and everything looks perfect. So after I drilled him with questions and explained how a natural childbirth was important to me, he sent me on my way with a bag full of prenatals.
I can't wait until our next visit to see what progress we've made! I will keep you all posted!
Love,
Delayna, Lance & Our little baby!
