this morning we had our first meeting with the midwife i found online. i had already read a lot about her (treeoflifemidwifery.com), and just wanted to see if she was as awesome in person as she was in writing--and she totally was. :) jason and i both thought she seemed very kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, intelligent, rational, and realistic, everything we were looking for. this first session we just talked and got to know each other, so i have no news about my little apparently-only-grain-of-rice sized baby. but i really felt comfortable with this lady, and felt like she seemed very capable, calm and honest. she said to make another appointment for about 10 weeks, because that's when she likes to do the first ultrasound. although i would have loved to have heard my little bean's hearbeat today, i still left feeling like i had found exactly what i was looking for.
i'll write more later about why i've decided on a homebirth. but right now, the GYM!
p.s.
jason just got an INCREDIBLE promotion today out of the blue. we're not allowed to discuss specific details, but we'll just say that it's one more amazing blessing to be thankful for.
Although I said a total of 14 words to the midwife, I made them count! She instills confidence and seems very knowledgeable. I look forward to getting to know her over the course of the pregnancy.
