This weekend I met the women who will deliver you. And they told me:

- that ALL births are natural.

- that birth is not a medical crisis. It's a complete spiritual, physical, and emotional experiece for me, you, and your dad.

- that I get to choose what our birthing experience will be - the lighting, music, number of people in the room, amount of intervention, everything but the timing. That'll be up to you!

- We'll be able to give birth in the shower, while walking, crouching, rocking in a chair, or whatever is most comfortable.

- Your dad will never have to leave our side, and neither will you.

Our next sonogram is in a month. At that point, you may decide to show us if you are a boy or a girl. How exciting!!

We are also going to have a painter create a beautiful mural in your room. You'll have flowers and trees and birds and bees to look at from your crib. Even Marigold and Moxie will be painted in!
