So I am about 22 weeks or 5 1/2 months pregnant. I have felt like I should be journaling. My midwife also suggested that I at least take some time to write about how I am feeling each day. I love being pregnant and sometimes I dislike it too. It is fun to know that I get to have to honor of carrying my children. This is my first pregnancy. I have decided thus far that I am under the care of a midwife. We will be doing a home birth. Also that we will not be doing an ultrasound unless it is medically indicated. I am under the care of Dr. Brandon Lundell, he is a chiropractor, naturopath, and acupuncturist. So far the worst thing I experience is headaches. In the first trimester I had nausea and vomiting. Since being in my second trimester I have the occasional headache, acne and mood swings. One thing I want to remember is that I didn't even know for sure that I was pregnant until I was about 8 weeks along. Although my due date is totally subjective. I had gone off birth control at the beginning of October. I had a normal period, did not go back on birth control. I had another period about 2 weeks later. So the earliest I could have ovulated and conceived would have been the beginning of November. I feel like I might have conceived closer to Thanksgiving. By Christmas I was definitely pregnant. So my Due date is kinda up in the air by about 2 weeks. Currently I am due around August 4th, 2010. At this point I feel like I am having at least 1 baby girl (no scientific or medical proof). There is a strong feeling of twin girls. Either way I will be very happy with a healthy baby or babies. I feel that I already have a bond with my baby or babies. I know that this will be the most amazing experience ever. Tory is so excited to be a dad that he would rather just be a dad than work. Problem is I am so excited to be a mom that all I want to do is be a mom. So we are looking at how would that be possible. What can we do to work at home and make money? Most importantly we will love being parents and I have no doubt that we will both be great parents. I am still so in love with my husband and I am already in love with my baby or babies. My passion these days is being a great parent. I look forward and know that we will figure this out and We will be awesome parents. Our children will be unique and beautiful.
