Congrats to me for being 30 weeks pregnant! I can’t believe I’m already at this point!!
When people who were this far along used to leave me messages on our pregnancy blog, I always thought that it would take forever to get to that point. It just seemed so far away when I was 8 weeks pregnant.
But now, I’m here and celebrating seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in a couple of months!
I keep on hearing how important having a birth plan is when I go into labor, so after thinking long and hard about it, I’ve come up with my official birth plan.
1. Stab me in the back with an epidural. Please.
2. Get the baby out ASAP.
3. Celebrate with champagne.
The end.

Hi Michelle,
Despite what it might sound like to you, I do not think that births are horrible. I'm not preparing myself for the worst either. While I respect your opinion on an epidural, I'm sure you respect mine on having one. I admire those that have a natural birth and I think it's great. It's just not something that I envision for myself.
I'll be the first to tell you that I want the epidural and I know that the birth will still be a beautiful one even with it. I'm pretty sure that the "horror" stories associated with having an epi can also be seen with going natural. I've heard a lot about scary thing happening there too. I do not plan on being so drugged up throughout the whole thing that I don't know what's going on or do not remember. But, I do plan on having drugs to make it easier for me.
To each its own, I suppose. Thanks for your comment!
