9 weeks, 6 days

I'll be ten weeks along tomorrow! So far everything is going smoothly. Morning sickness seems to have subsided...for now. lol I'm too cynical to believe it's gone for good. My belly is definitely growing and I think I'm noticably pregnant now, even if no one else does. lol

I want to start making my newborn stash of cloth diapers, but really feel like it might be a bit too soon. I would hate to put all of that work into the diapers, only to have something horrible happen and not have a baby to put them on. :( However, it's going to take the better part of my pregnancy to make an entire newborn stash, so I really should get started soon. I'm thinking I might start after Christmas because at least then, after 12 weeks, the chance of miscarriage will have dropped to less than five percent. Also, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be over.

We're hoping to move over the summer. This means that I'll have all of a month to find a new provider before I'm due to deliver. I'm trying to find a midwife that works at a hospital in the area we're planning on moving to, but so far I'm not having any luck. I've found midwives that do home births, but for purely selfish reasons, I don't want to go that route. I have nothing against home births and actually do believe that they are safer than hospital births, but I like the mini vacation I get when I give birth in a hospital. lol I like having people waiting on me hand and foot instead of the other way around. I like being able to push a little button whenever I want to and have food brought to me. lol I enjoy having a couple of days away from the kids to bond with the new baby. I like having the baby all to myself for a few days. So, it's a hospital birth for me, but goodness, I SO BADLY want a midwife! I HATE having an OB/GYN.
