8 weeks and 6 days pregnant.

8 weeks and 6 days.

still a couple of weeks until I can see a picture of you for the first time.

I'm more comfortable with this pregnancy, I think the decision to hire an independant midwife was the right one. I still remember waiting to see the OBGYN when I was expecting your big brother, and feeling like I was waiting to see the Headmaster.

I'm in my late 30's for goodness sakes!!!! Why is is that women are treated like children when we are pregnant? Suddenly everyone tells you what you should be eating, ( by this I mean the ones who tell you not to eat curry or peanuts, not genuine advice re listeria) It's okay to touch you belly, (it's not! the technical term is "common assult"). Don't run, don't pick anything up. etc.

this time, the pregnancy goes my way, and I will give birth to you where I choose:)
