I'm new here, I hope no one minds if I join

I'm due July 22, but this little guy seems to think I'm due sooner. (I'll explain that in a minute).
I already have two little ones, Zachary (3) and Ciara (2). My dh and I didn't specifically plan our children this close together, but that's the way things seem to work for us :LOL
We know that we are having a boy, which means my little girl will be the princess in the middle. Both of my children were born in the hospital, one medicated birth, one unmedicated. My son's birth was natural (as natural as possible in a hospital), and he had quite the large noggin

I pushed for over 3 hours, but only tore slightly (after screaming at the OB with some sort of incoherent threat should he try to cut me :LOL )I ended up with a great deal of blood loss, despite nursing right after the birth, with my hemocrit dropping low enough that I wasn't able to sit up. My daughter's birth was the opposite. She was out in just two pushes, and no complications.
I would love to have a homebirth this time, but dh is adamantly against it

He does know,however, that I won't budge on issues such as circumcision(leaving my son intact), breastfeeding, cosleeping, babywearing, delaying solids....etc.
As for why my baby seems to think I'm due earlier....I have been having issues with PTL and am already dilated (2-3) and effaced. I'm hoping to make it to 37-38 weeks, anything beyond that is a bonus
