Natural Childbirth

Thanks to those of you who took the time to read my whole LONG announcement post!

I thought I'd do a whole post updating about where I'm at with natural childbirth. My goal is to have an unmedicated/no interventions birth, and I mentioned this to my doula, who is very supportive. She has loaned me a few books, including the Bradley birth book. I have just started reading it, but so far it seems really good and informative. I have looked into taking the Bradley class, and the only downside is that the closest one to me offering a class at the right time is in Madison, which would be about a 40 minute drive. Doable, although not ideal. That is what we will probably do.

Adam is also very supportive of me having a natural childbirth, which I think will be helpful when the time comes.

For now, I'm trying not to look too far ahead (I know I will need to plan ahead for the class) just so I'm not overwhelmed with too much information all at once. I will probably read through most of the Bradley book sooner rather than later, though.

Speaking of where I am now, Baby has fingerprints and is about 3 inches long! Isn't that amazing?

**I also wanted to say that 2 years ago today I married the man of my dreams, the love of my life, Adam! Time flies when you're in love! We have many adventures to look forward to!! :)

Speaking of which

I got a crystal paperweight and a letter from the CEO of my bank thanking me for working here for 3 years! Who knew!

Do you ever wonder if there is a team of 8 people (or 16 people so that they can take vacations) whose job it is to record the call letter jingles for radio stations around the country? I mean, those people all sound the same station to station, right? They come into work every day and sing the same things over and over with different words. I don't know if I really want that job or if it would drive me crazy... if it is a real job.

Happy first day of spring! I am planning on going home today and spending some time outside in the sunshine with my dog, Jasp, the BDE (Best dog ever). I have to watch him carefully, though, because the other day he got a tick! Which not only grosses me out but is not a good thing to get! I'm so glad Adam was home to get rid of it for me. Poor little Jasp!
