We've Reached a Decision!!

I am excited to say that Matt and I have reached a decision about where our baby will be born! Last night we went to visit a lovely home birth midwife. The same midwife who took care of my friend Esther during her pregnancy actually. She loved her, so I thought "why not"? Matt wasn't excited about the idea, but came along because he knew how important it was to me. Jeanne was so calming. She asked me about my previous pregnancies and even took the time to speak directly to Matt about his concerns and fears. She walked us through the process: what prenatal visits look like, what the birth looks like, and what after the birth care looks like. She told us about her history and how she got started with midwifery. I loved talking to her, and her years (over three decades) and 1500+ births definitely spoke volumes to me as well. 

When we left, Matt told me that he still wasn't totally on board, which I understood- but that he was okay with going this route-Yes!!! I won't see Jeanne again until 16 weeks (10 weeks away!) for my first prenatal, but I can't wait!
