September '12

I feel that days have become slower, lazier, and longer.

It's all downhill from now.

With this pregnancy I feel much heavier, slower, lazier.

Going out just isn't my thing but I wanted to get some pictures.

We can't afford a professional just yet but my cousin-in-law (?)

Volunteered to take pictures for us.

They came out really pretty.

We went to several locations different days.

But that was as much as I could take.

The weather was quite warm at times.

But here are some pics.

During this month I also went on a sewing frenzy.

Guilty.

I can't help it.

I love it.

Self-taught.

I have had many projects just to get practice.

I made myself a diaper bag, car seat cover for a boy to cover the girly stuff.

I also made myself a skirt and a cardigan.

As well as other things but the reason I wanted to learn was to make Eliana some dresses. (I'll come back to add the pictures when she wears them.)

I made her a pink shirt

Dress out of my skirt 

 

Blue cardigan and yellow dress

And her snow white costume to wear for halloween.

I had so much fun

And I am happy to know that she will be wearing them for her birthday.

I look forward to making more.

And if someone was wondering.

I made my own pattern.

I used the same one for every dress I made.

I just used one of her dresses to make my own pattern.

 

Do your research!!

So with this pregnancy we have the same Doctor.
Correction...
HAD!!
Why?
When I had the C-section with Eliana
we thought it was because I really needed it.
We found it I didn't .
On August 13. We had our last visit with Dr. Gourley.
The visit was horrible.
We are wanting to try having a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section)
So we asked Dr. Gourley if we could have a trial.
It was as if we had pushed the wrong button.
He didn't make sense.
He couldn't explain to us what exactly went wrong.
In the end he said "You can't have a vbac. You are too small. But if you think that I don't know anything even though I am the doctor than that's fine."
We just said "Ok well thank you for letting us know if we had the option or not."
We left the office and only went back to pick up our records.

I was 27 weeks pregnant and no doctor.
We did our research and found an office in American Fork.
Before we asked for our records we met a midwife at the American Fork office.
We  loved her! We loved the office, the people, the environment.
We went home afterwards and prayed hard.
We had the feeling that we were making the right choice.

On September 5 we registered and on the 6th we met Dr. E William Parker.
He went over the whole "uterine rupture" and asked if we wanted him or the midwives.
We discussed the differences and what would work better for me.
Casey and I went home and we talked about it and prayed.
We switched to midwives.
At this point in the pregnancy they explained that I needed to come in every week in order to meet every midwife.
So that is the plan.

We have such a great feeling and we can't wait to get this baby here safe and sound!
