Ultrasound!

So apparently there is a baby in there.  A couple weeks ago we had an ultrasound, and I (Todd) have to admit I was petrified.  The guy giving the ultrasound was just so darn quiet, and I kept thinking those moments of silence meant something was wrong with our little girl.  But so far so good.  She was extremely mobile during the ultrasound, so there weren't a lot of good pics.  They did some color pics during the ultrasound using some more advanced technology, but I didn't post them on here since the baby looks more like an alien or a pig and not a little girl.  She just wouldn't stay still!

We're going the natural birth/homebirth route, using midwives at Geneva Woods Birthing Center.  We've done a lot of research on the whole thing, and Jenevra has kind of an inside view having worked at the NICU.  Let's suffice to say that the ways things are done at the hospital are not ideal.  The NICU itself is fine, but the whole process of giving birth in the hospital has a lot of problems.  One documentary you can watch is "Pregnant in America" if you're curious about natural birth.  We'll post more about this in the future.
