Birth Plan

So.. Colie suggested I blog about my birth plan. Is it bad that I don't have one? I have talked to my doctor about this and she seemed grateful that I don't have a huge drawn out novel of what I want my labor to be like. I expressed to her that I would like to deliver as naturally as I can and she was very supportive and encouraging of this. So far my only plan is to not have an epidural, however if the pain is hindering the labor process and my doctor thinks I should get one, I’m not going to fight it. I really don't want to have a lot of expectations going into labor and delivery, I'm a very easy going and relaxed person and I want that to be the mood on the big day.

What are your thoughts? Respond to this post with your delivery stories and or your birth plan. I know there are a lot of preggo's out there so share your thoughts and opinions.

Uncomfortable

I have been extremely blessed my entire pregnancy.
I haven't had to deal with morning sickness at all, for the most part my energy has been great, i'm still able to go to the gym and to top it off I still don't ever wake up at night and have to go to the bathroom!! AMAZING! I am defiantly counting my blessings because my cousin, who is still in her 1st trimester, is super sick! She had to go to the hospital on Wed (her birthday) :( because she has been so sick. It is so weird how pregnancy affects everyone differently. I just hope my wrath isn't still to come in the delivery stage!!

As far as the comfort factor goes, today is actually the first day I have actually felt uncomfortable. Cade has found two positions that fit him just great. One being on the right side of my stomach with some crazy body part sticking out. You can clearly see where he is just by one quick glance, I look like I have a rolled up sock sticking out on that side of my body. The second position feels like his little feet are kicking down on my bladder. Each time he moves I seriously feel like I am going to wet myself!

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing experiences ever and I am just so thankful that the Lord has chosen me to experience it!

Sisters

I feel so lucky, not everyone gets to share there pregnancy with there sister. About 1 month after Tyler and I shared the news that we are pregnant, my sister and her husband also had news of there own. After we both had our first doctors appointments we were given our due dates which are exactly 1 month apart. How crazy! While this is our first it is Amy and Jay's second but it is still so much fun sharing this time with her, not to mention the fact that I get to borrow her cloths :)

3rd Trimester

So I have officially started my 3rd and final trimester of this 9 month journey!

Amazing how fast time actually goes by! During the 1st trimester I was a little bit tired but nothing to crazy, the 2nd trimester I felt amazing, the low energy and tiredness was totally gone. Now just a week into my 3rd trimester I feel like I could go to sleep and never wake up! It is the worst and weirdest feeling. This weekend my body felt so tired but I couldn't just sit and relax I had to be doing something. So I cleaned the house, did some scrapbooking, went to breakfast w/ Rachel, had dinner with some friends and ran a bunch of errands.

Now all I want to do is get Cade's nursery all put together. How can I be so tired yet still have so much motivaion?
