Appointments
I went to my first Midwife appointment today. I was nervous, I don't know why. I guess it's never relaxing to put your feet up in stirrups. For all of you that contributed to my survey thanks, I should check the results again. I chose to go with the huge practice with nice midmives that deliver at Kennestone. The lesser of three evils. Second time around I realize I have to be even less selfish than the first time. I can't force my family to knowingly drive across the huge metropolis of Atlanta to see me and the new baby just so I can have a recommended midwife. Poor Josiah, my poor parents, in-laws, friends! I can't chose to do that to them. Especially Josiah.
I met the third of 8 midwives today. Her name is Rhonda. She was very cool and reassured me with her demeaner that I made the right decision. When she asked what my son's name was she knew exactly who King Josiah was in the Old Testament. She quoted the whole story. Even down to the tearing of clothes. She's a Southern Baptist and she was such a blessing to have today. Thank you Lord.
I guess since I haven't been feeling wretched (sorry Lynn) I was wondering if something was wrong. So I had Joel come with me today. I plan to have other visits with the Lovely Erin or possibly Carrie Fergeson. Poor guy, he might have some heat at work for this. The first visit is always longer and since they wanted to do an early glucose test it took and hour longer than normal first visits should be. But it was worth it to hear the swoosh-swoosh-swoosh of our new little one's heart. I was worried I wouldn't get that today. That the little bun would be hiding. In a week or so I get a routine ultrasound and this time I can bring a video!
I still am weary of what to do with Josiah, and my sitter's schedules. I need more flexibility. Poor little boy can't have fun in the waiting room! I am not a needy person, I refuse to ask for help and I have two people ready and willing and I still shower them with thank you's the whole time there here. I believe God will bring ease, somehow. I know it's all me.
We had dinner with Oma, Papa and Amy last night. Took us an hour and a half to get to the house! Ugh, but it's worth it, Oma is a killer cook! 
It was such fun to here Amy's college stories and it gave me a new affection for Joel, who I met when I was Amy's age.
Wow. She's going to Kilter with a guy from Catacombs. Maybe Amy will carry on the Knutson Catacombs legacy. hehe. Little Rebel.
