Birth Plan

(I found an internet hot spot in my house so I get to publish something worth it today)

When you go through a midwife and decide on a natural birth you are asked to create a birth plan. An outline of how you want your birth to go. Things like I want chocolate in the room at all times (Maybe not normal but on my list for sure) If you would like to have an I.V. port for quick access, If you will be banking the cord blood, if dad or you will catch, deliver in water or not. you get the point. Anything goes, if you could have the perfect birth what would it be like.
Maybe when I am done with the whole thing I will post the whole plan.  

I have been thinking about this allot lately, I know I am months away form delivery but I am nervous and am a super planner. So I have at least decided what I will be wearing.  So many ladies end up nude in the end, and I would like to not be completely naked. Mostly because my kids will be in the next room and Michael wants to watch so I don't think he needs to see me that way. (If we let him, we have not made any real decisions yet) So I am going to embrace my inner hippie and make a tie dyed maternity tank top to wear through the birth. How fun will that be. I also will not know what I am having due to the fact I am too cheap to pay for the ultrasound so I am going to tie dye a onsie as well. I know a few of you are probably on the floor laughing right now, but I am serious.  I will be in the tube in my tie dyed tank top delivering my baby. Why not have fun in this process, that will literally feel like I am being ripped open. Maybe if I am looking at my tie dye I will be able to have a little laughter through the pain. I want to enjoy this as much as possible. I am so excited. And now I am going to be even more ready. And funny!!

While my sister was here last week we tried our hand at the tie dying thing just to make sure I could do it. Heres how it turned out.  Now I think I am ready, I will pose for a picture at the end of my pregnancy in the tank top.  When I am ready to deliver so you get the whole gory picture.

What fun! I love that you guys did the project together. The kids look so cute in their shirts. It kind of cracks me up that you are concerned about looking good for the birth! Too funny. When I come up for Bri's baby, I definitely want to see you!

I found you through the Humes family. I"m not sure if I know you or not. and like reading stuff about pregnancy since I'm due in a month. I wonder what I will wear too. You mentioned in your other post about the option of a Birth Center?? Do you know of one in Vegas. Do clue me in. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
