Baby #2 Begins…

So lets settle down for the storm gang, the mucus plug is out (or was out at about 10:32pm). Now before you all get all excited and start F5’ing this blog over and over, remember that this doesn’t EXACTLY mean the baby will be out in the next 15 minutes. Evidently (as 2 minutes on google just taught me) some women lose it one or two weeks before delivery. So nothing too much to get excited about. Meanwhile, I blew up the pool (tub) in case rebecca wants to do the water birth. Last time, since I wasn’t prepared, I had to blow the pool up manually. With my mouth. To the point where I almost passed out. THIS time, I was prepared. I inflated the pool with the air compressor. That was much much easier for me. It also did a better job, as the pool appears to have more rigidity to it, which is nice.

So rebecca is making the obligatory phone calls to the midwife crew…

So to recap, mucus plug is coming out, but we have no contractions or anything. So sit back and relax.

Mommy progress…

mom is doing well as she progresses through the incubation of baby #2. The midwife appointments have been going great, heartbeat and everything seems fine. It is funny, cause when she was pregnant with Mason, it was like normal. This time around, she has more of the pregnant kind of things. Like she is much more tired than the first time around (which is to be expected). Also, she has this crazy sense of smell, but it is primarily the ability to scope out things that smell BAD, which is unfortunate. She also is a bit more moody and crampy and stuff (sorry sweetie, it is true). That combined with the fact that the midwife is confident, it would seem we are leaning towards a girl, which would be cool.

Not saying I have a preference, I will be excited for a boy or a girl, but having one of each would be cool. We shall see!

Midwife Checkup, Baby v2 Due Date

We met with Sarah again today for our first real checkup. Rebecca got a little poking and prodding and I kept Mason occupied. Evidently Sarah thinks Rebecca’s uterus it large for how long she has been pregnant. Twins? That could be scary. (Honestly, neither of us have any history of twins in our family, so I doubt it. It doesn’t help that we have been watching a bunch of stuff on the Discovery Health channel about people who have had multiples.)

We did get to hear the heartbeat on the doppler though. So that was cool. As I have said in the past, it is always cool to hear the heartbeat.

Our due date has been set as 9/1/2007, FYI.

Baby, v2

We are having another baby! Due date is estimated around end of august. We are again going to be doing the midwife route, although a different one this time. Caroline has moved to northern California, and we do not want to use Jaren.
