I am pregnant.
Yes, I meant to get pregnant. No, the academy is not in charge of my reproductive life. Yes, I am very happy. No, I could not wait until I was past the first trimester to spill the news. Yes, I had a miscarriage last year. No, I do not think we're going to have a repeat of that experience. Yes, I could be wrong about that. No, I don't mind telling you. Yes, I will have to tell you if I have a miscarriage. No, I am not having this baby in a hospital if I can at all avoid it. Yes, I am hiring a doula. No, I do not believe in husband coached labor. Yes, I have morning sickness. No, I am not having another child because I want a boy. Yes, I could go on this way indefinitely. No, I'm not going to do that.
I am pregnant. Six weeks, four days.

Yay! Congratulations Annie! You are brave to have a home birth. I had a doula for my second birth, but it was in a hospital, so it doesn't really count, but I did have her au natural with no drugs. Anyways, many congratulations!
oh, I'm looking into a birth center. There are a couple of them here and also some midwives who do homebirth, which I don't think my husband would probably go for.
the hospital is a last resort, in any case.
Hey, get one of those prego counters for your blog. That'll be fun!
The gal who led our Bradley (husband-coached) class in Round Rock is also a doula. She is wonderful.
In case you don't have someone or are shopping around, contact Karina Bolger (kbolger at austin dot rr dot com). You can find her in the online white pages or the phone book.
Congratulations -- I love how you answered all the questions up front. Are you going to make a t-shirt?
Yeah! Congrats! Isn't it pitiful that you KNOW you will have to answer those questions? People are so nosy!
So happy for you!
