36 weeks

I can't believe I've come this far already. Where has the time gone!?! I blinked and now there's only 4 weeks left and we'll have another little Casaus in our home. What an exciting time! Okay, I'm excited and really nervous all at the same time. It turns out because of the gestational diabetes I can't have my waterbirth. For me, waterbirth is my epidural. Here's me in labor........no water=pain, panic, feeling of helplessness vs. water=relaxed, peaceful, ability to concentrate and visualize the baby. I know some think the whole waterbirth idea is dangerous or wierd even but I LOVE it. Atmosphere in labor is so important. I know no other way to have a baby without the jetted tub, peaceful music, dim lights, and hubby for support. Well, enough of my sob story. I know God knows and really all that matters is a safe and healthy delivery for baby and mommy. So here's me at 19 weeks and then at 36 weeks. I remember posting at 19 weeks and talking about being stretched to the max already. What was I thinking? Now, I really feel stretched to the max!
