The Final Run!! The Third Trimester Begins!

I'm back!! I know it has been a while since I last posted, I really should be ashamed of myself for neglecting the blog, but I'm back and I do not intend to leave you all again for such long periods of time. I apologize for my neglect. 

I am 28 or 29 weeks pregnant as of Tuesday and today was my first appointment for my third trimester, it was totally awesome. It's usually always a great experience when I go because they are just  the bomb over at Ob/Gyn Midwife & Associates; however this time was particularly wonderful. Maybe because it is fall and everything is better in the fall or maybe it was because I got a doula today!!! I know it is because I got a doula today. She'll be coming to my home to meet and have an informative little conversation with me and my boyfriend next Wednesday. Yes I know, having a doula is not that far from the ordinary when your working with a midwife and doing a water birth, but for me it is such a exciting thing. All the happenings of this year are things that I have never experienced and would have never thought that I would be experiencing any time soon. With that being said, I have no regrets this year and I am happy and appreciative that things are going the way that they are. The universe has been really wonderful to me. 

On another note, I did not know that having a doula is actually necessary. With this being mine and his first child and me having a water birth, my midwife strongly suggested that I get one to work with me. For those who do not know what a doula is; A doula is a woman who is trained to assist other women during childbirth, they may also provide support to the family after the baby is born. I will be sure to discuss on here how it goes and what to expect from your doula experience. (note: all doula experiences are not the same, however I am discussing it because I am sure there will be some similarities)

Well that is all for now. TTYL
