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.
