We decided to name our baby girl, Isabella Mia Valdez! It wasn't too hard to come up with the name, since Jesus REALLY liked the name Bella. So we compromised and both decided on Isabella, but she will be known as Bella mostly. As for her middle name, that was the second name that we both had on our favorites list. So put it altogether and she shall be named Isabella Mia Valdez! Now that we have a name, we talk to her by name, pray for her by name, and talk about her by name as if she's already part of the family! Hearing family call her by name or Jesus and I using her name, makes it feel so much more real and personal. Jesus started painting her room this weekend, and things seem to be moving right along. I have my 6 mth check-up on friday, so we are looking forward to another update on her growth and development. As for me, my round ligament pains have become more frequent and stronger, everyone says its because I'm skinny and its my first child and my uterus isn't accustomed to stretching as Bella gets bigger. Standing for too long or having Bella in the wrong position makes it worse, so I'm staying off my feet as much as possible, but as for getting Bella to move from her favorite spot, we haven't had much luck, she is already showing signs of being stubborn! We love her either way!
