Baby #2
EDD-Oct 6th. 2009

Rc/s due to an increased risk of uterine rupture from a large T-incision on my uterus-in a wonderful baby friendly local hospital that took beautiful care of us after DD's emergency c/s-strongly advised not to vbac due to the fragility of my incision

Pretty sure this little one is a BOY-DD keeps saying baby brother also, and my MIL had a dream that we had a baby boy and she doesn't even know we're pg yet!! I knew with DD, so I am going with boy.

Baby #3
October 13th
Homebirth with midwife who delivered second son
When I met my husband I told him that I only wanted one kid, and it WOULD BE A GIRL, but that if it wasn't I was going to keep trying until I got one. I have 2 sons already, and I think I'm destined for another. Now I'm just hoping for a nice daughter-in-law or granddaughter someday. Either way, I'm just happy to be having another baby

Working on it. I have a bunch a "nots" after viewing the birth of my daughter but I don't think that constitutes a plan. I doubt my DH will go for a home birth and the Midwife laws are still odd in Missouri. -Birth plan
After 10 years TTC I'm just happy to be pregnant. -Gender predictions
