Random Ramblings

So, my whole family knows about the pregnancy now. Drake is going to tell his family within the next day or so. We were going to wait longer to tell them (because they tend to be rather negative about me being pregnant so often) but we're going to see Drake's mom this weekend and I'm noticably pregnant, so we figured we should tell her rather than let her figure it out on her own. lol

My friend, Kelly, had her baby yesterday! (Congrats again, Kelly!) Her birth reminded me that I really need to brush up on how to deliver a baby. Her labor and delivery were all of an hour long. I was in the hospital less than five minutes when I gave birth to Ethan (his labor and delivery were a total of two hours). I actually left the house much earlier than I would have normally because I had to drive myself to the hospital and I didn't want to be in intense labor when I was driving. Had I waited any longer I would have either given birth in the car or at home. Luckily, Kelly was planning a home birth anyways, so she was prepared for that, but she did give birth before the midwife even got there. I know that this is a very real possibility for me. The hospital is about twenty minutes away and if I hit morning traffic, it would be completely pointless for me to even try to make it to the hospital. (Of course, this is assuming I'm still living down here in San Diego, which I don't plan on anyways) So, an unassisted homebirth (or heaven forbid, an unassisted CAR birth) could very well be a possibility for me. I guess I should brush up on that stuff again. Luckily, I still have a while. I'm about fifteen weeks now. I still have a LONG 25 weeks to go!
