Starting a Blog...

I haven't done this in a long time but when one of my friends who just became a mom sent me her site I thought... What a great idea to record and share my experiences of being a MOM. I'm officially at Week 37 today and baby could come any day now. I'm excited but I hope all will be okay. We are planning to have a home birth in our family home that my cousin lives in now and we just met with the midwives yesterday to go over the birthing logistics. Lots of information and the other half (OH) was a little overwelmed. Me too... It seems all easy but there is still a bit to prepare before the actual day. We had to go and buy some things after our meeting, like herbal teas to help ready my body and shower curtains to set on the floor in the room we will birth in. I want to have a waterbirth but we still need to get the birthing pool from the midwife. We also had to order a liner to make sure everything is sterile, so hopefully baby doesn't decide to come before the liner does- had to order from the mainland since Hawaii doesn't have these things. If it happens, oh well, I guess the tub will do... I finish out work this week and I feel a little overwelmed with making all of my plans so that my students will be all set through the end of the year. Being a teacher is great but not in these positions... I better get back to them.
