Waiting for Baby....

Julia has been ready to go into labour for at least a month now, it seems.  Our actual due date is Friday, October 22.  Our midwife is expecting us to deliver anytime, stemming from last week's visit.  I have two more days of work left, the house is ready, it's time to go!

For those of you who don't know, Julia and I had tried to become pregnant for several years.  Through a series of complications and setbacks, we finally were able to begin seeing a fertility specialist.  We lived through a VERY emotional January, where Julia underwent daily hormone injections and bloodwork/ultrasound three times a week.  We got lucky and found out we were pregnant just before our February vacation!

Once we found out that there was only one baby in there, (believe us, there was a great chance of multiples) Julia and I decided to have our pregnancy looked after by a midwife.  We are committed to natural childbirth and are planning to have our baby at home with a waterbirth.

We just need for labour to start!  Spicy foods and activity (pg and x-rated) have been our main focus the past week.  It'll come soon, we are certain.  We will let everyone know soon.
