Today Dan and I had the most excitement I've had in a long time: we heard the heartbeat of the one we're calling Little One. August 3rd is approximately when we will have the next human member of our family (sorry, Chaco - you won't be the baby anymore)! We are SO excited, especially now the fact that there is a little human growing inside me makes the whole experience much more real.
For now we're calling him or her Little One for a gender neutral yet endearing term. Sofia Claire is my #1 name for a girl right now (even though we recently found out that Sophia was the #1 girl's name for 2007), and we're not so sure about boy's names - we like Samuel and Harper. I've always thought I would find out the gender of the baby ahead of time, but Dan isn't so sure, and after both our midwife and my mom suggested thinking about NOT knowing ahead of time, I'm starting to re-consider. What do you think - know ahead of time or not?
Also, for those of you are interested, Dan was with me during my physical and therefore was able to see my cervix - so far I really like having a midwife who cares about educating both of the parents-to-be (and I think Dan does too). :)

Snowshoe Pair
Dan's shoe on the left, Julie on the right. The picture of tradition and modern. Just like Julie and I.
