Okay... I really wanted to be able to have some entries public, but it seems I can't do that without getting spammed. I'll either make my journal friends only or just screen all non-friend comments, haven't decided yet. -

I'm starting to get together the extra things I need before the baby's born, at least the stuff that's not on my registry. Most of it has to do with diapering, and my stash is almost complete!

birth plan
I made a birth plan today, with the help of a couple of sites ( http://www.childbirth.org/interactive/ibirthplan.html and http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnanc...reator-241.htm ). I ( Read more... ) -
doula update
Wow, I got a lot more support from the local doula community than I expected. I got a lot of responses from people who said they'd volunteer but they were booked already, but they passed on the message to their fellow doulas.

I'll have to wait and see. I used the Motherbird pattern, and they are very small. I'm a little worried that the light pink one will be too small for a newborn even, but I ( Read more... ) -

I haven't been on LJ in forever because I moved from Germany to Seattle and just got settled in. I meant to make a post before leaving Germany but I was too busy ( Read more... ) -
still a surprise
We weren't able to see the baby's sex, the baby wasn't in the right position. I know I'll be able to find out later, hopefully at a doctor's in the states before the baby is born, but I'm still really disappointed because I wanted my husband to be able to experience learning the sex with me, since he won't get to experience anything else until the ( Read more... ) -

I was in the hospital over the weekend, went in Friday morning and left Sunday night. I had some pains in my lower right abdomen that started on Thursday and keep getting worse. So I went to the hospital to get it checked out and they wanted to keep me there to monitor me and make sure it wasn't appendicitis and it wasn't. They don't know what was ( Read more... )
