Baby Number 3!

For starters, I guess a good way to catch back up with everyone is exciting news, right?  Well, we'll be expecting baby #3 on Halloween of all times!  Of course, things are still early in the game, and anything can happen, but lets just hope for the best and roll the ball foreward.  We told our eldest (3), and this is her response:

Dad:  "Sunshine, do you want another baby brother or sister?"

Her:  "Yes.  I want a baby brother."

Me:  "But you already have a baby brother."

Her:  "Well, that thing in your tummy has to be a boy too.  I'm the only princess in daddy's life."


Well now that we know how she feels.  I must say though, last time, before I even got a positive pregnancy test, she walked up and goes, "Mom, you're having a baby and its a boy.  I get a brother."  At the time, she was 18 months old.  I, of course, was in slight shock.  Everything turned out the way she said it would.  I think my favorite memory of her and last pregnancy was during the ultrasound in which we found out the sex.

Me:  "You're having a baby brother!"

Her:  *crosses arms* "I know.  I ALREADY TOLD YOU."


Oh, the joys of parenting!  Regardless, having a baby in Europe should be exciting.  I have a midwife who will be taking care of me the entire time, an OB just incase something big happens, and for ultrasounds, and the best part?  If all goes well, this baby will be born in my nice, comfy, safe, English speaking home.  I know I'm in Germany and all, but I can't speak much German, and I felt I'd be much more comfortable with an awesome midwife I already knew and speaks great english as opposed to in a hospital surrounded by nurses, midwives, doctors, and all the inbetweens who mostly speak German and will probably speak tons around me, which, quite frankly, just makes me feel awkward, much less when I'll be in labor.  But, if I end up there, atleast we know it will be for a good reason.

Yay for home births!  Did you have one?  How'd it go? 

I'll leave you with an appropriate rage comic I made to tell the world of facebook.
