Baby Update

Baby continues to be active .... nothing too exciting to report. She's a good little baby and doesn't cause me any problems or drama ... hopefully that will carry over into labor and her birth =)

We have our blessing on Saturday and then leave early Sunday morning for a week in Jamaica. Our honeymoon has turned into our "babymoon" and we're looking forward to it. We have a nice room that's supposed to be near the beach. I can't wait to get in the sand and water!!!

As people continue to ask "What doctor are you seeing? What hospital are you delivering at?" I have started wondering when birth became a medical procedure and not another life event. Michael and I are so excited to have the opportunity to have our daughter at home and as we get to know our midwife and plan the birth, I can't imagine having her any other way. I'm excited about being able to relax in our home and let our daughter come when she's ready.

Michael has been phenomenal. I have heard of husbands and fathers not being very involved in their wife's pregnancy/child's birth. I can't imagine not having Michael as involved as he is. He takes such good care of us =)

This is all for now! I'll update again when we get back from Jamaica and have another prenatal with our wonderful midwife =)
