is time around and I definitely don't regret it. I was a bit surprised at how my tummy resembles a perfectly round, white beach ball but who can deny what a miracle pregnancy is? I can hardly believe my body is capable of it all! I am looking forward to meeting my little girl and the entire experience of giving birth. I have transferred my care from OB/GYN to midwife and have felt a sense if peace ever since. It is an entirely different experience. I actually have a relationship with my midwife! I know this topic can be controversial and I know that midwives aren't for everyone but I encourage all expecting moms to look into the option. Maybe even watch the documentary The Business of Being Born. Dillon was really aprehensive at first and watching that film answered a lot of questions for him.Anyway, baby girl looks like she might not be as big as her brothers were at birth, which I am happy about. she moves around A LOT. I'm talking complete turns and flips. I'll feel her little back in one spot and then a moment later its little knees and feet. I am feeling good, only extrememly tired, as has been my most prevenant symptom this entire pregnancy. A little heartburn and some practice contractions are pretty eas
y to deal with when the end is in sight.Eli has packed baby girls bag for when I go to deliver her at the Birthing Center in Tacoma. In fact, I had to hide it because he kept unpacking and repacking it enthusiastically. I currently have about twelve baby hats, seven pairs of socks, five blankets, several matchbox cars, and diapers of several sizes all in a jumbled heap. I'm just glad he is excited and wanting to help. Isaac doesn't have a clue that he is about to get bumped for his baby status and hopefully it will go well with him. I do, however, call eveyone in the family "baby," including Dillon, so maybe it won't be such a big deal at all.
