Today my wonderful husband and I decided it was time to go public with our family news. We are expecting a new arrival to our family in January 2010. This is our first baby, and we are planning to have a home birth. We originally planned to keep this news to ourselves until we were past the 12 week mark, but I have already gained over 6 inches on my waist, all at the front, so my clothes are beginning to feel too tight. We decided it was probably better to tell people before they began guessing when I start having to wear maternity style clothing.
We have been blessed with finding a really good experienced home birthing midwife, who only lives a 5 minute drive from us. Our parents and families are excited. This will be the third grand-baby for my parents, and the first grand-baby for Rob's parents.
Congratulations!! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I'm so happy for you both! I've homebirthed myself (though I won't be this time) and wish you luck in that as well. I, too, am anemic though I've never had it before, I'm still trying to build up but hopefully it won't take you as long to as it does me. ;-)
