I can't believe I haven't posted anything in over a month. I suppose that's about the time we discovered we're going to have another baby!
Yep, I'm officially pregnant, due April 8, 2010. Both kids are convinced we're having a baby boy, but they're both open to having a girl. They got to see the baby swimming during the ultrasound. Judah thinks it looks like a little bean (at 10 weeks it kind of does look like a bean with very busy arms and legs). Miriam tells just about everyone she meets that she has a baby in her belly--for sure.
Oh, and Judah lost his first tooth! He lost it at 9:09 a.m. on 9/09/09 while I was talking to my mom on the phone about how I was going to have him push it back the other direction. He overheard me (even though his door was shut), pushed his tooth back, and it came out. What a thrill!
For weeks he would say, "I have two surprises for you. Do you want to hear the big surprise or the little surprise first?" 100% of the people asked would say, "The little surprise."
"The little surprise is I have a loose tooth and I'm only 5!"
"And the big surprise?" they would ask.
"My mom has a baby in her belly--FOR SURE!"
So fun. I had Miriam at home and am planning to have another home birth. I think the kids would be amazed at the whole experience and kind of hope they get to watch. If you think I'm crazy, just ask my husband, my sister, and my mom what amazing labor and delivery experiences I've had. I wouldn't subject the kids to something I don't think they can't handle. Judah was full of great questions after the ultrasound, and he's fascinated by the whole process. Getting to share the whole process with both Judah and Miriam has been absolutely delightful.
One final note . . . Christy, who lives with us, shared this short film with me. Then, my friend Amy told me to watch it this morning. It completely blew me away. The kids love it and so do I. Enjoy!

I LOVED my homebirth experience; I envy you for getting to experience labor again. :)
Congrats, FOR SURE, on your pregnancy. Who knows, maybe we'll wind up pregnant together again. (Can you tell this whole baby thing is in the back of my mind?)
What else can I say, Lori??? I MISS YOU. I wish we could see one another again soon.
Matthew and I watched "The Butterfly Circus" together. Wow. Amazing. Inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
