SO! I hit the big 26 weeks today. I'm due August 14th, so... in 2 more weeks it's my third trimester.
We found out we're having a girl and we're having fun trying to figure out names!
I've decided to deliver at OHSU this time because they offer waterbirths. It's a big step given the fact I've been with my midwife here for almost every pregnancy in Oregon. She delivered Daniel and saw me throughout my pregnancy with Jacob and then for my pregnancy relating in miscarriage in 2007- and through this one.
The thing is- there is no guarentee that I will be able to have her through my birth. The midwives do rotations, so... if there is a big chance I wont get to see her, I might as well opt to try and have the natural water birth. My midwives that I've been seeing only devlier at Providence ST. Vincent.. and they wont allow waterbirths.
Also, I've finally tranfered Abigail to Shriners Portland again. It took a while but Abbie has been struggling with a JRA flareup. Shriner's hospital is across from OHSU, so I scheduled my midwivery apt and pregnancy diabetes glucose test for the same day as Abigail's appointment.
It's crazy how quickly things are going now. I savor every day- I jsut dont want to rush through this pregnancy.
