Some of this, some of dat

So I am all about doula's! First of all, being that I am with MFM (maternal fetal medicine) docs...the last thing on their mind is a medication free, vaginal delivery. As many of you know, I 110% for it (as long as it is safe for baby Mirth). So, to negate some of the medical vibe we are going to hire a Douala. We have interviewed one already and are interviewing the second today. I am really excited about the lady we are interviewing today. She is certified in Hypobirthing (the birthing class we are taking) and is very familiar with the hospital we will be delivery at. Very exciting stuff.

On to other news...tomorrow is the exact date (23.3 weeks) we delivered Zoe. Monday morning I WILL wake up the most pregnant I have ever been. I love both of my girls.

I am so excited to meet baby mirth...97 days until 37 weeks!!! Whoot, Whoot!!

We see the doc again on Wednesday to check my cervical length. So far I feel really good. I am not having any contractions or pressure. I think my cervix listened to everyone! hehe

So today I am feeling in pretty good spirits. Our 5th year anniversary was yesterday. It's amazing how fast time flies by. Crazy! Thank god for my husband! He is an amazing dude! I love him like no other. Plus, he made me steak, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and even got me flowers!!! Oh...lets not forget the ice cream. I was one well fed preggo yesterday. hehe. I have learned to take the good with the bad during this entire journey. Today I am feeling good...so I am going to take it!

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...

Testing, testing,...1...2...3

So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...

Our Rainbow!!!!!

Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
