We'll be having our IM (Cassius, I believe we have the same midwife now hehe), 2nd IM, doula, DH and DD. Still debating a photographer. We have a great camera now, DH is a decent photographer, but he will be busy most likely So he'll just hand the camera to the IM's and our doula. Had the same doula last time and she took some shots on our iPhones which are nice to have, but very meh and a bit too business end lol! We'll also set up a camcorder this time and just leave it be to film everything.

I can't believe I'm almost 20 weeks! Had our first appt with the IM and she is just lovely, we gelled really well. So it's all actually happening! Our doula emailed me tonight letting me know she doesn't want a penny for this birth, she will be there now as my friend An amazing gesture from her, I'm so touched and excited to have a constant from my birth with DD there to encourage and reassure me this time around. Will be amazing support for DH as well. On a little HB cloud 9 right now...people honestly don't know what they're missing in this type of care; an acquaintance of mine with her first pregnancy 'has' to go see their OB at the hospital every week for check ups, she's only 37 weeks, no complications and she's only 18. She thinks it's the best care ever so doesn't feel like she can complain too much. I just feeling like singing the merits from the roof tops right now
