Just saw your post on my shout out to Jessimurph last week. Thank you for the congrats. Of course I remember you sisterwife! LOL It looks like you've been fruitful too! How are you doing?

Hooray for routine! I've been pretty sick this pregnancy like last time. Hopefully it wont be until delivery like last time. It's eased up a little, but I do have moments of wondering what I was thinking! I think it might actually be easier to have a newborn and a 3 yr old than it's been to be so sick and have a 3 year old. At least I hope that's the case! LOL
We considered a HM but DH had a few concerns that I thought were valid and wanted to honor his wishes for birth too. We'll be birthing with the same midwives in the same hospital I had Jovie in. It's very small and very NB friendly. Will probably have our same doula again too. I'm on the verge of doing Hypnobabies. My midwives were very supportive and intrigued when I told them. They do a lot of natural births, but it's mainly Bradley or no particular method-very few hypnobirths. So we shall see.

The newborn is definitely easier than pregnancy and toddlers. At least in my experience. Does Jovie still nap? I hope so for your sake!
I wanted a HB with #2 and DH was against it. By the time I got pregnant with #3 I told him that if I was having another one of his children I was going to do it my way and he gave in Maybe your DH will change his mind if you have another one and still want the HB.
I'll say some prayers for you. I hope you feel better soon!
Oh thank you for reiterating that happy hopeful thought! LOL
Yes, thankfully Jovie does still nap (most days at least) or at least take a nice long quiet time each afternoon. Even so, I think I'm done with pregnancies after this one. I probably said that last time, but since my last pregnancy I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and I don't think I have the nerves to take on 3 kids at this point. If I change my mind later I'd still be interested in adopting. Particularly from Korea. So there's always that. )
Sounds like you had a good HB experience then? (did you post a birth story? I always love those) Are you done with #3 or planning any more homebirths in the future? ;o) Your babes are beautiful BTW.
Thanks for prayers. Those are always welcome. It's so nice to see you around here. Hope all is well with you and yours!

Re: Hello Adamwife!
Doing well. DD just turned one, so my life is starting to fall back into a normal routine. lol
How has your pregnancy been? Hopefully you're not feeling sick.
Are you planning for a natural hospital birth or a HB?
