Welcome Baby!

Today, I am just about 4.5 weeks pregnant.

Baby number 5 was not a "planned event". But as I want to welcome all our babies with love and affection, I have started this blog to chronicle our first months together.

So far, I am already experiencing some morning sickness. I am planning to get a Vit B-complex to help with that. I don't usually experience this particular joy until closer to the 7th week, so I must be low on B6. Good, because I don't even want to contemplate twins! We've done that in 2 out of 5 pregnancies, so this time, it's not even on the table! ;-)

As soon as I purchase my new camera, I will begin weekly belly shots. Hopefully that will happen in about 2-3 weeks. I've started doing serious ab work every day, in the hopes that I can stave off the back and hip problems I experienced with #4's pregnancy. I'm praying that a more 'stable' core and monthly chiropractic adjustments will keep me out of pain, or at least more mobile.

I've closed my photography business for the foreseeable future, and have put my midwifery training plans on the back burner. This makes me sad, but it was necessary. And perhaps if I take the stress of 'performance' out of photography, I can have fun at it again.

That's all from the Land Of Baby for now!
