My first prenatal appointment is on March 1st, less than two weeks away! I'm excited about not having to go through Kaiser for this pregnancy. I'll be able to give birth at the hospital in Monterey! Which will only be a 5-10 minute trip if we move to Monterey or PG. How wonderful! And I wonder if my OB will actually deliver the baby, instead of how Kaiser has whoever is avaiable do the delivery.
My hopes for the delivery this time is that we will have someone to watch the kids, so Shane will actually be able to be with me. I hope he'll be able to cut the umbilical cord, since he didn't get to do that with Caleb or Ana. And I hope that I will be able to do another natural birth. I also plan on staying at the hospital as long as they will let me. With Caleb and Ana, I was anxious to go home, but this time I think I will try to send Shane home with the kids and try to rest with the baby at the hospital.
It seems like such a long way off. 7.5 months. Now that I've made the first appointment, I'm starting to get excited. I can't wait to see him or her with their tiny little arm and leg buds.

How'd it go????
Remember? I'm not blogging anymore :)
But since I like you, I'll tell you that the baby is doing great! It's actually a week younger than we thought, so it just looked like a blob. But, we did get to hear the heart beat! Which is always amazing. Kaiser always made us wait until week 12 to hear it, so it was an unexpected treat.
Shane, I was talking to Marie, not you. Sheesh. ;)
That's good!!
