We are expecting baby #3. Not really planned. So, it is taking me awhile to get used to the idea. Of course, all babies are blessings and we will be overjoyed once he/she gets here. We have finally decided to have a homebirth. We have been trying to work within the system to have a hospital birth but it has really been kind of a struggle for us. I mean, the OB, Ped, and everyone has been really supportive and it takes them awhile to come around but they do….I just don’t feel up to the challenge I guess. It would just be so much nicer to just have the midwife come to our house, have the baby at home, and then go to bed….So, I am really excited about our decision. The only hang up is that it is soooo expensive and of course, insurance doesn’t cover it. We will manage and I know it will be worth it.
So, I am 16 weeks along and measuring wayyyy big as usual. The first visit, the midwife was wondering if I might be having twins (as usual, Norla did the same) she couldn’t find another heartbeat or feel another baby so she ruled it out. Plus, I had already had a sono at about 6 weeks…But, this was what happened with the girls also. I am short, and have no torso, there really is no where for the baby to go but out and up. She suggested my due date is wrong by a couple of weeks but we thought that with Olivia too and I ended up being 15 days late! Not getting trapped into that thinking again! I bet this baby will come in September, due date is August 29th according to the ultrasound.
This time, we are actually going to find out. We didn’t with the other two but this is the last baby so it would be nice to know if we can get rid of the girl stuff or not. Of course, I have already given it all away because I refuse to have another girl. I guess if we do have another one, we will just get some new stuff:)
I found this beautiful blue/gray yarn at Hobby Lobby half price and I am going to try to make a soaker out of it. Making baby soakers has really started to get me excited about this baby…Soon, my mom and I will have to finish the Cuddlebun diapers for the new baby too!
