I'm really struggling with the shooting in Connecticut. Maybe it's because it's so close to us having our own little person out in this crazy world, maybe it's because the victims were just SO young and innocent and the crime so senseless...maybe I'm just tired of the fact that this has basically become a roughly biannual thing in this country for ( Read more... ) -

I am completely floored at how many people in the baby_names community are telling me to spell Madelyn like Madeline/Madeleine. Um, like almost every single person. Why do I seem to be the only person in the whole entire world who thinks that those are completely different names?? I, too, am generally against the influx of "lyn" names, and kre8ive spellings ( Read more... ) -

The ultrasound was amazing. Just one baby, exactly as far along as I thought I was (7.5 weeks), due January 7th, heart rate of 148bpm. We couldn't hear it yet, but we saw it beating away on the screen, and I felt 100% fine with that. As soon as the technician pointed it out to us, I started crying the ugly face cry, because THAT'S MY BABY. Suddenly ( Read more... ) -

I had my first official doctor's appointment yesterday, so freaking exciting. I never thought I'd be so excited to visit an OB/GYN. They didn't do much, just urine and bloodwork, and we talked a bit about my confusion with the dates. Apparently insurance doesn't cover ultrasounds on the first appointment no matter what, so my doctor is having me ( Read more... ) -

The Good:
- I got to tell my parents and siblings about the baby this weekend, and they were beyond over-the-moon excited. It was so amazing - my mom seriously sobbed her face off.

I have a midwife! YAYYYYY! Feeling pretty dang pleased with myself right now. I'm going
to go the birth center route this time, aiming for a waterbirth. For insurance reasons, I'm going to keep my initial appointment on the 21st with my OB, and then transfer care to the birth center for the rest of the pregnancy.
The center's only been open since ( Read more... )
