// 2nd Update (6/16/09) //
Jaimie and I are celebrating our two year anniversary today. Who would have guessed that we would be writing this on a blog about our baby-to-be! "Pinto" is doing fine, as far as we know, and Jaimie is feeling pretty good as well. She has had a little more nausea issues, but that is normal (and may indicate a "pintA"). It has been really cool to hear so many stories from the people who have gone through this before. What I have found interesting is that almost everyone we tell who has had a baby somewhat recently only offers a single piece of advice and each piece of advice seems to be unique. Maybe this is due to the fact that this whole process can be overwhelming, and it is different for every person going through it.
Here are several books that we are working our way through:
Pregnancy the natural way, by Zita West
Your Pregnancy and Birth, American College of OBGYNs
Heading Home with Your Newborn, by Jana and Shue
Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy, Mayo Clinic
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, by Ina May Gaskin
Natural Baby and Childcare, by Lauren Feder
The Pregnancy Journal, by Harris
I like books.
This is our first real week of Summer, so Jaimie and are looking forward to getting some rest, but also doing a lot of reading up on what we can do to provide the best possible path for pinto. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
-Josh (and Jaimie)
