Last night we had another homebirth meeting and checkup. I weighed in at 143 lbs and my belly measured right on at 35.5 centimeters. I brought Elinor and the look of excitement on her face was priceless as she heard your heartbeat. Sherri felt your position - you're head down but in the sunny side up position, which might explain why I feel your legs and arms pressing out on my belly all the time! We went through an extensive overview to prepare for the birth, I couldn't help but feel emotional and happy as I listened and talked about these preparations.
We're planning to decline vaccinations and antibiotics but request the Vitamin K shot. I don't think we can fit a birthing pool in our little home so we're not planning a water birth. My kids will be home, Mike will be around, I'll have a close friend assisting and hopefully my sister will be able to make it in time. I'm really looking forward to having a low key, intervention-free natural birth in the setting I'm most comfortable in!
