31 weeks

This whole posting is all about me! As it should be right??? Just kidding. My friend Cristen was pregnant last year and she said to Chris and I " sometimes I would just stare at my body and could not believe the changes" Her face expression was hilarious when talking about it. I now know what she was talking about. Staring off in the mirror time just fades away wow I think I can't believe the changes.
Hearing the heart beat
Measuring the uterus
Mason takes my blood. We find out later that I'm a little bit anemic. No big deal really just adding Floridix to my daily routine.
Having a home birth allows for many choices with your birth plan. We have rented this portable hot tub. I will have the opportunity to relax and be comfortable. Water births are gentle and safe. The Tub will have jets as well as warm soothing water.

I'm with Melanie, I was screaming for drugs after 3cm. Good luck with your water birth, I think that is an amazing way to give birth, and it seems soothing to be in warm water and weightless.

You look amazing! Embrace the changes, because they don't last forever...!
