Contemplating birth

I am writing this blog at risk of creating a scandal (if anyone actually ever reads this blog), but I have been thinking a lot about babies, and birth, and the timing of the next etc of late!
Prob cos I know so many people who are pregnant! :)
Dave's not really open to too much discussion right now, but I thought I'd write about my thoughts...
The more I look into it, the more I REALLY would like to try for a home birth next time!
I really like this midwife's approach to facilitating natural birth.
I looked at our private insurance and we were thinking of changing anyway and if the numbers work out for everything else, Australian unity look like they cover independent mid-wifes!!!
Now I just gotta workout when we think might be the best time to have number 3? (Not soon for those wondering, we'd like Taliese to be around 3 when jr is born and would have to have been with new insurance for 12 months before we could use cover for mid-wife)
But then, why bother ... from experience these things happen when they do! :-P

Baby Stuff

Baby Essentials

• Warm loving arms
• Breasts (or a whole lot of gear to feed from a bottle)
• Somewhere to sleep
• Something to keep them warm (clothes, blankets etc)
  
• Something to transport with in the car (if you use a car)
• A good sling
• Something to catch the poop, be that a cloth or disposable nappy or a bucket
  
• Love

That's really all they need
