28 Weeks*
How Far Along: 28 Weeks* Size of Baby: Chinese Cabbage Weight Gain: 16 pounds (Still no movement here…) Movement: She has been dancing like crazy this week! After my big scare last weekend, I’ve been very conscious of her movements and when she is most active. I typically feel her all day long, especially when I shift positions from sitting to standing or laying down.

My back was still bothering me, and I really wanted a day to veg and go thrift shopping–basically just have a “me” day. As the Hubster and I were sitting eating breakfast at 7:20 this morning, my phone rang.…

On Choosing a Midwife*
A while ago I promised to write a post about my decision to see a midwife instead of an obstetrician. I’ve had it rattling around in my head for weeks, but I felt I couldn’t properly write about my decision and the experience thus far until I had actually met my midwife. But let’s back up a little, shall we? As soon as I announced my pregnancy to my family in early June, my sister immediately encouraged me to contact a midwife. I was still trying to wrap my head around the idea that there was a baby inside me, let alone the part where it would actually come out.…
