Well, now that Ryan is back safe and sound from Haiti, we are continuing on the preparations of little Kiersten's arrival. (Yes, that is the final spelling...sorry). We are getting more and more excited, but with excited comes nervousness. I have us all set to attend some Birthing classes (Natural) and also how to take care of her. I am looking forward to that one a little more so. I have read so many books and internet sights I feel like I am ready but hands on is best for me. I'm a visual/hands on person which makes it difficult to learn things just by reading them. Hope she doesn't get that from me. :( I've been scoping photography websites with props. I found a hat or two I really like for photos. I can't wait! :) Will I have energy to take her photo after giving birth...well..I sure hope so!!!! :)
I have decided to go about this Naturally. Yes, thats right. Natural. God made our bodies to handle this so I know I can do it. I'm quite aware that problems can come up and I may need medications/epidural but unless that happens, I'm going to try with GOD's help and Ryan's help to get through it just fine. Its healthier for the baby and me. Recover is super fast and I can go about the day as usual with little problems. There will still be soarness from labor ofcourse, but I will be able to walk etc. :) So, I have taken 2 classes so far and have 3 more to go. I'm super excited and feel very good about the whole thing. Much prayer will be need though and much support. If you don't agree with my decision, then please keep it to yourself. We were told to only surround ourselves with those who will be positive about my choices!!! SO, debbie downers, keep your distance! lol :)
We have much to do still to prepare. Our baby room is not ready at all. We still need to paint and put in flooring. but we still have time. I can't wait to see it all complete. I think her room not being ready is making me super anxious! :) Well, more news to come as time gets closer!!! OH and I passed my Glucose tests! yay!
