Good on you Jen! I agree, it does feel good. I love your new avi too.
Your DD is so sweet. I love how homebirth is just a normal thing to her. My poor DD, 7yrs, asked why she was born in hospital! She knows DS1 was born in the loungeroom and DS2 in the bedroom- that is normal to her. I love that the arrival of her siblings has always been part of an ordinary day. Just a natural, normal event.I am so happy that I have never had to leave my older child/ren in order to go somewhere else to give birth to their new sibling.
My MW came over today - the rain has eased. Apparently, it may ramp up again later in the week, so she thought it best to come today. She told me that she can still get here if there are road closures while I am in labour, but she would have to go via a longer route. The back-up MW (who was at all my other births) was here too. It was such a lovely appt. We lounged around on my bed while my kids played Lego in the loungeroom- for 2.5 hours! They left their birth bags, oxygen and birth pool here! Yay! It's getting exciting. I just need to pick up my synto and I will be ready to roll!
Bella, I would love to see your birth vid before I have my bub. And I would like to show it to my DD.
