25 weeks!! Holy cow. I wondered for a bit today how I got here. How lucky I am to get here. That's what has been hitting me lately. That I'm lucky to be pregnant. Sure, it may have
taken us a little bit of time to get here and there were others along the way who wished to be on the same awesome journey as us...but I do realize that we're lucky.
I'm definitely enjoying the honeymoon stage of pregnancy. My symptoms, other than the growing belly, are limited to headaches, disturbed sleep, and a little bit of heartburn. The heartburn is a bit of a drag, but it doesn't happen that often and it really isn't that bad. I can imagine it'd be a lot worse.
Baby Stats:

-becoming more and more human looking and less alien-looking :)
Baby is the size of an average rutabaga.
It's not secret that I
plan to am going to give birth naturally. I've been attending
Bradley Method Courses with a fabulous childbirth educator and
doula and we also have our own doula. They're both great. They're informative. And I'm having a natural birth. If the Birth Center,
Nativiti, was covered by my insurance I'd be going there. And I don't care what anyone else things about
my birth. It's mine. Theirs is theirs and it's welcome to be however they want it. So, this little cartoon struck me as funny.
