Birth Kit

Prior to being completely consumed by the afore posted drama, I was beginning to get VERY excited about our pending home birth!

I'm reading a spectacular book, that I have decided to highly recommend to all of my pregnant friends - even if it is kind of "out there" or "hippie-ish". It's called Birthing From Within and it really encourages the "Mom2be" to do alot of self reflecting, thinking about her own dreams, fears and expectations.

Anyway, the book has really gotten me excited about our pending Adventure in Home Birthing!!!

That - and I just ordered our Birthing Kit. I guess I never really thought about the things that we would need, in order to have a baby. The supply list is kind of random and includes shower curtains (2-unused) and a working flashlight (yes, my imagination is running a little wild on this one, too), among other things.

Typically, I meet our midwife at her house, but next Friday, she will be coming to our house to do a walk through. I imagine that we'll talk logistics and other crazy cool stuff. I'm pretty excited. I think we'll serve brunch! Maybe we'll have things like baby carrots and mini-quiches - LOL. OK - I'm a dork. I admit it!

I hope life is keeping all of you on your toes!
