who else

so, we told my grandma, I am expecting phone calls any minute. I knew once we told her, the proverbial "ball" was rolling. I found out that a cousin is pregnant too, with her second. so I should call and say congrats.

We told my Aunt, my mom's sister, she seemed happy.

My brother-in-law got engaged. SO that's exciting.

How am I? Very good. Cold. I know, believe it or not, I am cold all the time. My hands and feet, freezing. If you knew me, you would know that I am NEVER cold. Normally, I would wear sandals in the snow. It's so weird. My husband just smiles, then comes and hugs me to try to warm me up.

*sigh*

Damn kid.

I have to be careful saying that all the time now. People will think I'm some hateful person who doesn't appreciate being pregnant. I am.... really.

OH yeah, that's another thing. I am SO goofy.

Last night driving around town, the windows were down, so I just started whistling at the hot chicks on the corner cause hubby was driving. He was mortified.
It rocked.

another day

well, another day of being pregnant.

So far we have told quite a few more people that we thought we would have this early.

I told some more coworkers, as did my husband.

We had our first baby visit, we are not going to go to that obgyn. She was too clinical, not friendly at all. We want someone who will be hands off, and let things go as time flows. She talked about using the vacuum to suck the baby out who was taking too long. I don't want someone who even thinks about something like that. When we say we want a natural birth, we mean a NATURAL birth. No constant monitoring, no epidural, no episiotomy, nothing but my husband, me, family, and a midwife who will check me with a stethoscope, her ears, and her eyes.

well, we will just have to pick the place before we pick the doctor to make sure it's hospital policy to do what we want.

there is one place near us, a freestanding birth center that I would LOVE to go to, but it is over an hour away. I don't know, maybe it's worth it. It encompases everything we value, want, need. But husband is worried that it is not near enough to a hospital for emergencies. I understand his need, and worry as well. I just wish we could figure all this out.
