Ok, time is winding down. I have only 5 weeks left! I am excited but stressed all the same time. I just want everything to be perfect…bills up to par, house clean, clothes washed, garage spotless (not that we use it), life in order.
We visited the hospital last Sunday and it was beautiful. I’m still trying to figure out why they have flat screen televisons in the labor and delivery rooms. But I guess labor is different for everyone. My husband better not dare cut on the t.v. to watch football while I’m in labor! I think James is gonna be awesome, he says he wants to do everything from catching the baby to cutting the cord. I just hope he doesnt’ get quizzy at the last minute and pass out on me or something.
I had my 1st baby shower a few weekends ago, It was GREAT! It was a co-ed shower, although most of James’s friends did not show. I was greateful that 5 guys came to support him. He is just as much apart of Christian’s life and I wanted him to be apart of the shower. Seems like we have so much more to get before the baby comes though. A stroller, carseat, mattress, baby seat, sock, onesies, the list could go on and on. God will make a way, he’ll see us through as he always have.
I plan to do this thing naturally. My family thinks I’m crazy but with God all things are possible. They all ask, “who do you know that has done that?” Our society is so stuck on the easy way out that 97% of the births in our local hospital has epidurels. I know I can do this, there is not a scared bone in my body. God has given me peace beyond my understanding and I trust him. I trust my body to do what it was created to do, GIVE BIRTH.
The journey continues….
