So, for those of you who didn't read my facebook status this morning, I will let you go do so now.....

And for those of you who don't have FB or aren't my 'friend' (I still consider you my friends tho....:) this is what I wrote....


Merry Christmas everyone!!!  I especially can't wait for Christmas in July! - July 11th to be exact.....Thrilled, overjoyed, tired:), and so blessed to be awaiting a new little one!



!!!!!!!!!
Yep!  We're pretty excited!  It was a wee bit of a surprise but a very welcome surprise!
I've been feeling OK.  Definitely the worst baby for morning sickness, but compared to a lot of Moms, I shouldn't complain :)
Very tired.  Moving and first trimester don't mix ;)  But I'm slowly feeling better and seeing the 'light' (aka. 2nd trimester) at the end of the tunnel!

So, in very Jen fashion, here are my belly pics :)  (And you thought you'd get away without them!.....ha!)

 6 weeks

11.5 weeks

Even before we were pregnant, I knew that I wanted a midwife with this one.  Well, I wanted one with Kalli too, but didn't think a 2 hour drive was best for appts, delivery and such..... And now that we live in a 'city' my dream is coming true!!! :)
I was told by a couple friends of a good one and thankfully she had room/took me!  I had my 2nd appt yesterday and I love the change of care.  (No complaints about my small town Dr but this just works better for me :))  Yesterday I heard the heart beat!!!  140!  Love that beautiful sound of life!  Especially the first months when you are just trusting the pregnancy test and nausea ;)
And, I know this might be too early, but I really think I felt the baby last night.  Just the slightest tickle like a feather.  It could have totally been my imagination but I'm going with baby!

So that's my news and I'm beaming about it!  Thanks for the congrats!!!!! - in advance ;)

A MIDWIFE!!! Oh Jen, you'll love the different experience. Your doctor WAS awesome in small town Alberta - really and truly. I wish I'd been able to have one of my babies when we still lived there; he would've been my first choice. But a midwife!!!! How totally exciting!!

I'm so excited for you!! And yes, moving and being pregnant don't mix... nor does moving and having a newborn... but better than moving and having yet another mobile little person!! :)

I am going to be stalking you constantly now, you know! :)

Congratulations, indeed! And I'm so thrilled that you get to experience a midwife pregnancy and birth. I still have fond memories of the connection I had with my midwife.
