34 Weeks

I hate to push down the Jackhouse pic. There has been quite a response there, both on the blog and otherwise. This pic of Laura is actually from last week, so she is probably already showing a touch more. Yesterday, she said that she thinks she can tell that she is growing throughout the day. Her clothes seem tighter at the end of the day, she says. I don't know about that. She has been crashing at 9 pm steadily this week.

Today we go to the doctor, and will discuss our Birth Plan. This involves communicating how we would prefer for the labor and delivery to go--specifically regarding drugs and interventions. Obviously, we will submit to the good doctor's medical expertise, especially in an emergency. But we want the baby to stressed as little as possible, and we want to avoid a C-section. Rachel's birth story and Aurelie's birth story has given us encouragement about the how labor and delivery can be done--and be done well.
