Pregnant!

I knew after I didn't get my period on Boxing Day that in likelihood I was pregnant. But I waited. Maybe to just relish in the thought of my private confidence that there was a little life growing inside of me, or maybe to just make sure that I really was pregnant.
Either way, I eventually bought a super sketchy pregnancy test from the pharmacy {for less than $1} and that confirmed what I already knew.
Baby #3 was on the way!
So I meet up with our potential midwife on Tuesday. At the hospital that she works out of. She doesn't do home births. So there's some anxiety there for me. Having had two previous home births {in Canada} I am terrified kinda nervous to have a hospital birth. It's not for safety reasons or anything like that, it's more the idea of being forced into a position I am uncomfortable with or having to be hooked up to wires or pressured into a procedure that is unnecessary. I am glad this is my third child. I know what my body is capable of and I think that should it come to it, I can act like a crazy pregnant woman and get what I know I need.
Yet another way God continues to teach me to trust in Him and know that His plan is good and no matter what happens, He will be with me through every step in this journey.
So here we go!

  1. Thrilled (and terrified of the unknown) for you!! Yet God is in this and His timing is perfect for you and this child, created and named BEFORE being 'knit together in your womb'!! How awesome...can't wait to see more 'bump' and visit too! Praying!

  2. So excited! I'm sure/hope the hospital related fears you have could be addressed with your midwife and she'd be a warrior for you when the time comes to let you "do your thing". So excited for you all!
