Making Progress... and Decisions!

Lots of updates!!! It's been a big week in the Gooden household!

We interviewed our first pediatrician yesterday, and we really like her. We have one more interview to go in a week or so before we make our decision. The next doctor (and practice) has a lot to live up to!

As Birble begins to grow bigger and stronger, her movements are growing stronger too. This morning, I was able to see her moving for the first time. I caught the first punch or kick out of the corner of my eye, so Barry and I stopped and watched for a few seconds. Sure enough, she let another one go, and I watched my belly jump. What a cool sensation!!!!

We also made a couple decisions in recent weeks/days. We have decided that we are going to deliver Birble at St. Mary's hospital. The staff is wonderful, and the facilities are comfortable, so we are excited about our decision!

We also decided that we would like to have Birble baptized into the Catholic Church (if we can). We are not going to be disappointed if they say no, but we are going tonight to a local parish to find-out more. Fingers crossed!

Lastly (and perhaps most importantly), we have selected a name for our baby girl!!! I will publish a separate post with the announcement once we are confident that all of our closes family and friends have been informed. Stay tuned...
