first baby

I have gotten a little used to bogging just a regular journal type blog everyday, then thought it might be useful to blog about something meaningful. Like mom and baby stuff.
I have a one year old little boy, Ryan. He is the most wonderful baby in the world. Hardly cries at all and doesn't have many problems. He has learned how to sign a few words by the hard work of his daycare provider, our wonderful friend. She takes time with him to play and teach him new things, without someone I trust and care about so much, I know I would not be comfortable being at work full time.
So as my husband and I were trying to get pregnant we went over many different things about what we wanted and how we wanted the pregnancy and labor to go. I tried to talk him into a home birth. My sister has had all three of her children at home and it went wonderfully. But I have bad back problems, so we decided to go through a midwife with a clinic. Therefore we would be having the baby in the hospital.
Through this blog I will go through as much of my pregnancy and delivery and up to now as I can remember. For now I will leave you with the day I found out I was pregnant. Mid January I took an at home test, it was positive. So I went to the Dr. to confirm it, and there I was prego. I called and told my husband and we were ecstatic. Tomorrow..further into the pregnancy.
