I am truly so happy and excited for you and this pregnancy. I think you’re in such a great place and the midwife you’ve found is perfect for you. Congrats on another girl–yay for hand-me-downs (and a few new things thrown into the mix).

A girl?!?!?!!? YAY! I happen to love girls. And you make very cute girls… so it is rad all around.

And I am sorry to rain on your parade… but I totally have to nix Scout. That is my BIL dog’s name.

Congrats again! And your midwife sounds like a rockstar!!!

SO happy for you! And yes, still jealous. I can’t wait to meet your little Scout. I guess now it’s the only scout you’ll ever have…you lucky girl.
(Yes, I know there are girl scouts, but it’s just not the same. You’ve dodged a HUGE bullet. Just ask me, and it’s only starting for me….ugh.)
And I love the advice from your doctor. I think I need to take some of that advice too.
See you soon!

Now that I’ve re-read my comment it sounds like I’m not excited about it being a girl. Of course I’m thrilled – Dick now has a straight – a winning hand by any standards. And what Daddy couldn’t possibly be thrilled to have that many beautiful girls doting on him?

Well, the good thing about having another girl is that you don’t have to buy anything new. Love the Harper Lee reference – Scout. *sigh* such a great name.

It is truly a miracle how God creates our bodies and you will be amazed at how easy it is to relax and enjoy the moments between contractions. You will actually find yourself thinking that it’s over like “wow, I feel great now. I don’t need. oh, wait, okay it sucks again.”

I have no doubt you will do great and be glad that you chose the path you did.

I love that you had such a great appointment. The ability to stay in the moment is key, I think, to embracing labor, rather than fighting it. Now I need some of that advice myself when I’m frantic with loss of sleep.

Yea for another girl!!! Congratulations.
An even bigger congrats for finding such a great provider. I wish I lived close enough to seagull fountain to see your midwife group, but alas, I am far, far away.
