We’ve been holding in a little secret for 27 weeks! Coming this November – baby Schmidt. 🙂 We are thrilled that the little one is healthy, active as can be, + already bringing so much joy to us.
I knew that if we were lucky enough to have a baby, that we would go the midwife route. Ideally I wanted a home birth, but I’ve known for years that Anthony wasn’t okay with that. After doing research, a birthing center opened up in Edmond a year ago. This is the best alternative to having a home birth! Being a part of the seminary/CRW community for so long, I was privy to seeing all the various types of births, different methods of parenting, which has given me quite the foundation to welcome this little guy into our world later this fall.
I’m hopeful that he will come on his own terms, even if that means going to 42 weeks. So when I say November, I really mean, anytime before Thanksgiving! We will allow him to cook as long as he needs.
Just this past Sunday, Anthony was able to see him move around in my belly. Of course the first thing out of his mouth was about an alien being in there! It’s such a weird experience to feel him move + now that Anthony will be able to see it more + more will be fun.
