The Switch

Well, I have officially requested all my prenatal records be transferred to Labor of Love, our local birthing center. Kyle and I both feel this is the best decision for this new little one--or at least the direction we should head in. We have our first appointment there in about a month. I am excited about the potential differences in the experience with Baby.

I bought a changing table from craigslist! I have wanted a "real" changing table since Creed was born. It's fun to plan for this next arrival. With the possibility of us getting our house, I'm once again dreaming of nursery wall paint! ;) I have big ideas of making Creed's room "day" and the baby's room "night." We'll see how that goes.

Having good and bad moments/days. I just put 10 DVDs on hold at our library so I will have some distraction from the monotony of laying on the couch feeling disgusting. :)

Kyle is phenomenal. He has kept up with the dishes I deem "too gross to deal with." And he is a super-duper carrier of laundry baskets.

6 weeks and counting!

We had our sonogram today to see how old Baby is. Just 6 weeks! Which means my symptoms are showing a lot earlier than they did with Creed. I think I may be in for a rough go of it.

Baby is 0.35cm long. We got to see and hear the tiny heartbeat--precious! Creed started clapping. ;) You can see the sound waves for the heartbeat at the bottom of this next pic:


Estimated Due Date: February 3, 2011!

Labor of Love

We had our orientation at Labor of Love (LOL) and really enjoyed it. I had been feeling a check in my spirit about the whole birthing center bit (not sure why since I've always been a fan) but I felt like it was lifted during our meeting. We're going to be praying a lot about this over the next few days to see what God would have for us.

Kyle is more excited about the birthing center than I am. He is so cute. I love how involved and supportive he is in my life and the things that are important to me.

Tomorrow morning we will find out how much LOL will cost with our insurance (yes, our insurance now covers birthing centers and home births!).

Take II

Woo hoo! We are super excited that a new Little Baby Truman is en route.

A few weeks ago I was thinking about how bad Kyle's breath had been for a few days and wondering what was going on with him. Then I thought about the cup of coffee he had made me the previous Sunday morning and how gross it was. I had thought the cream had gone bad, but he tasted it and insisted it tasted normal. And then I thought... hmm, I should take a pregnancy test.

The two times in my life that I have taken a pregnancy test and then forgotten about it before the 5 min needed to get the results are up, it has been positive. :)

Little Baby, you were discovered on May 25th. We're not sure how old you are yet--we went to our first doctor visit and the sonographer was out so we're going back this week. We are so excited about you and can't wait to hold you in our arms!
