Week 27 - Third Trimester!!

This week marks the beginning of the third trimester. Baby Emily now weighs a little more than 2pounds and her total length is 15 1/4 inches. My uterus is about the size of a basketball! :)

Last week we started our Bradley Method classes. The Bradley Method^® teaches natural childbirth and views birth as a natural process. They believe most women with proper education, preparation, and the help of a loving and supportive coach can be taught to give birth naturally. The Bradley Method^® is a system of natural labor techniques in which a woman and her coach play an active part. It is a simple method of increasing self-awareness, teaching a woman how to deal with the stress of labor by tuning in to her own body. The Bradley Method^® encourages mothers to trust their bodies using natural breathing, relaxation, nutrition, exercise, and education.

Naturally, the Bradley Method along with another type of "technique" is what we are going to use to prepare ourselves for giving birth. We love how the Bradley Method educates us on how to prepare my body but we are going to rely on God's promises and scriptures to have a supernatural birth. :)
