A home birth
I have always wanted to have my children at home. In my heart, I have always felt there was a more peaceful and less invasive way to have a baby. Unfortunately, a home birth with a mid-wife is not covered by our insurance and it is hard to justify a home birth when I could do it at the hospital for free. Well, with all my new found free time I started to spend more time day dreaming of my perfect birth experience. There just had to be a way. With the encouragement of an amazing women, who also happens to be my prenatal yoga teacher and hypno birthing teacher (more about hypno birthing later) she referred me to a naturopathic doctor who does home births. Since she is a doctor and not a midwife, our insurance will actually cover the home birth!! Mr. B has never been excited about the idea, but after meeting her and discussing all of his concerns, he FINALLY gave me his support. So 30 weeks into my 4th and final pregnancy I dropped my OB/GYN and changed doctors. I am so excited to be able to be home and not have to fuss with the hospital. My girls are excited too.

I've never been so proud or excited for you! I hope that I get to share this WONDERFUL experience with you and your family!
Good Luck with that!! My neighbor had all of her 7 kids at home and breast fed them all till they were 8! Seriously!!
Anyhow hope all goes well make sure you blog about it before the baby is one!
Wow, I can't believe you are going to have the baby at home. Did you have the girls naturally with no meds? You are WAY more brave than me. The thought of having a baby at home scares me to death. I wish you all the best and I definitly want to hear about it.
