My birth plan

I'm almost 27 weeks and still feeling great! Last week we went to the doc and every thing seemed to be fine! My blood pressure, my belly measurement, and the baby's heart beat are all perfect as the doc said. Keith mentioned about me being very energetic! The doc told us it's a rare thing that some pregnant women go through, and that I should enjoy it while it lasts! Later, Keith smiled at me and kept repeating the "rare thing"... he said it's not a surprise that I'd find myself in a "rare situation" since I'm not a common girl. I like the idea of not being common so I take that as a compliment!


Last week I also made Keith watch "A Baby Story" from TLC. It's a show about the labor process. Unfortunately, that day they showed only the ones that had an epidural. Very funny though how all those moms have the same comments after getting one: they were in heaven, or walking on rainbow.... Keith laughed and after that he was very fan of me getting one! He worries that the pain will drive me to call him names.... Well, we talked about the possibilities we have. I told him after reading many books and blogs and talking to many people, I conclude there are two extreme ends. One that is totally against to an epidural, and the one that is totally favor. He asked me where I was and I said right in the middle! Honestly, I understand the two sides, but I think people can be stuck to one idea and when things don't go the way expected it becomes such a big deception! I  think for now my plan is to go and see what happens. If my labor progresses quickly I might not want an epidural, but if it takes too long, or if the pain is driving me to loose my mind I might get the drug :) I want to be open since I don't know what to expect. My mom went through all the labor pain for hours and at the end she needed a c-section. If she knew she'd end up with a c-section she'd choose the epidural from the beginning. I also have a friend that wanted a natural labor and couldn't get one cause the baby didn't turn. It was a big deception for her. So, I don't want the big day to become a deception if some thing doesn't go the way expected.  And if I give I look to my entire life, I know things almost never happened as I expected. There was most of the time a surprise waiting for me! Therefore, I want to see the big day as the best joyful (however I know is going to be painful) day of my life, so no matter how I'll have my baby, as long as I have a healthy one, I'll be content!


So, I guess that's my birth plan for now (things may change though since I still have three months ahead)! Now let's cross fingers and pray that I don't call my hubby names... well I told him not to take it personally if that happens :)

New Look!

As you can see I got a new look for my blog! It's not perfect yet the way I want but for now I'm very happy with it!
Hope you guys enjoy it too!
