Hooray for head down!

I'm almost 33 weeks now and according to my chiropractor and midwife, Rainn is head down now! ;) I'm going to continue going to the chiropractor just to help open up and align my whole pelvic, sacral area and hope that makes my birth nice and fast and easy!

I also found a lovely student doula named Dawn Smythe who will be attending our birth. It was definitely God's provision, because I really wanted a doula but didn't think we could afford one. My midwife said I should interview a few of them and pray about it and that if it was right everything would fall into place, and it has!

My mom is coming out around April 18, so I'm hoping little Rainn stays in that long. I'm really hoping he comes right around the 18th or 19th. We have everything ready! Our tub arrives on April 7th or so and we have it for three weeks. I'm just very excited to meet this baby and have my natural birth.

I really hope River is sleeping. In my perfect birth plan, I put him to bed while I'm in early labor and he sleeps through the night and wakes up to a new baby "brudder"! But I'm happy that we'll have my good friend Kristen, my mom, Jared and my doula there to help out if River happens to be up.

I covet your prayers for a healthy baby, a normal and straightforward delivery and an easy recovery! Thanks for reading!
