child.
today i'm kind of obsessed with the fact that i'm pregnant. it is more of a reality lately, and i'm ready to know more about it. my desire to know things has increased and i want to read about other people's experiences and baby things all day. i'm really having a baby.

I love reading other people's birthing stories - my mom thinks that's weird - and both mine are on the blog. I've really been into getting informed this pregnancy (good thing since it's the 3rd go-round). I watched The Business of Being Born and am reading the semi-accompanying book Your Best Birth. With Cami, my water broke, I wasn't contracting, I was put on pitocin, and got an epidural. With Adam, I was at a 5 before I ever went into labor, they broke my water at the hospital, and I got an epidural right before I started pushing. This time, I'd really like to go drug-free. I'm not anti hospital and LOVE my ob/gyn, but have become a firm believer that our bodies really know what they're doing on their own. My own labor was exponentially easier than my labor on pitocin. I hope I never have to see that stuff again.
