No More Baby Story...

Okay, I watched my first ever episode of "A Baby Story" on TLC and cried the ENTIRE time. ALL the way through. Cried my eyes out. You would've thought I was watching Steele Magnolias or something like Fried Green Tomatoes. It was awful. I'm so scared now. Do women really survive childbirth? How do we do it??? My mother told me not to watch that show. She said it would just scare me. And it did. I am officially afraid to give birth now.

On my agenda for today is to call a midwife and an OBGYN who works with midwives up north. Not a good location for me, but hey, at least they're advocates for choosing your birthing plan and are said to spend lots and lots of time with you. Maybe either of them can ease my fear of all this, as my first doctor spent a whole 10 minutes with me and answered none of my questions, nor did she put me at ease in anyway.

I'm making black beans and rice with cornbread. The only dish that sounds scrumptious and is easy on the tummy. I'm off to eat it right now.
