Marco and I have been discussing who our baby's Godparents would be for most of the pregnancy. It was something that meant a lot to us. It was not an easy decision for us as we both wanted it to be people we know would be in our child's life for the long haul, there for the child and us if something were to happen to one of us, a part of their religious life, and a consistent positive influence throughout their life. Marco had wanted his cousin Miguel to be the Godfather for a long time and he's always been one of the most welcoming and warm people to me ever since I first became a part of the Pena family when we got engaged in 2009. He was an obvious choice for both of us. The Godmother part was very special to me because I'm very close to my mother and as a child had some wonderful women in my life that made my childhood so much richer. When I first got pregnant I asked my friend Paula to be my back-up birthing coach if for some reason Marco was unable to make it (gotta be prepared when you're a cop wife). She was so supportive and amazingly thankful just to be involved. My pregnancy has not been 100% raindrops and lollipops and she has really stepped up and been there for me through it all even when she was on her trip of the year. After talking with Marco, she was our easiest choice of all. We are so grateful to have these great people in our lives and feel so blessed that they both already love our baby so much. Yay for Godparents!
