4 weeks, 4 days
Yes, we're at 4 weeks and 4 days on 4/4. Cheesy, but I kind of like it. Tonight, Justin and I watched The Business of Being Born, a documentary about midwifery and home births that someone on the Bump recommended to me. It was amazing and strengthened my desire to have a natural birth. I'm looking forward to our appointment at Nativiti on Wednesday. I pray that God is leading me in the right direction and I know he has wonderful plans for us. Watching the mothers in the documentary hold their babies right after they were born was incredible. No matter the pain and the challenges I have to overcome on that day, I feel like that is the first place my child should be -- in my arms. I would also recommend The Business of Being Born to anyone who is interested in learning more about the birth options that exist.

4 weeks

Today I am 4 weeks pregnant with our new moon. Our baby is the size of a poppy seed! I took another test this morning and this evening and both were positive. It's still so hard to believe that this dream is coming true. I feel so blessed. I'm definitely feeling some symptoms already. I have been fatigued the past few days and yesterday I woke up with extremely tender/sore breasts. Although I am worn down physically, it's also reassuring to have signs that this is all real. I keep thinking I will wake up from this dream!
Justin told his parents today and they are very excited. They will be getting two new grandbabies in 2010! I also called Dad and Gayle and told them. They will coming out to visit at the end of the year! That is an amazing blessing and I'm looking forward to sharing time with them during the first month of my child's life. I also told Genna, but she has to keep the secret at work for at least 4 more weeks!
We have an appointment next Wednesday to visit Nativiti, which is a birthing center in the Woodlands. My mom and I are going to tour the facility and meet the midwives. I'm hoping it feels like a good fit for us and that enough of it is covered under my insurance to make it a viable option. It is just the way that seems right for me.
