Since I last wrote, after much research, we have decided to switch care from an ob to a midwife and have a home birth. Sharing the news with family has been stressful, and in some cases, painful. But as long as little Allison Faith and I stay healthy and normal it is the best decision for us.
We are also in the middle of house shopping. Things are getting bothersome because we would really like to have a home before the home birth...
