After speaking with some home birth midwives and meeting a family practitioner who attends births, we chose the family practitioner, with whom we all felt immediately comfortable. From her interactions with TheBoy, to her mentioning Larry Bird when I told her my age (big points from TheHusband), to her personal tour and explanations of her birthing center and newborn and family care. The only potential kink is that she will be on vacation the week before my EDD. But she recommended another practitioner as a back-up who will be TheBoy's primary physician when we move.
My 16week appointment confirmed that this doctor was the right one for us. And everything looked good. Haven't gained any weight. IV's heartrate was 145. Ultrasound appointment in two weeks. Feeling consistent flutters.
We got word this week that everything is falling right into place for closing on our house right on time.
And I'm four weeks out from my third half marathon.
Oof. See? Busy.
