Not like we are going to say at home or anything like that. Though with our front gate in the condition it is in, not wanting to open, a home birth is unfortunately possible. hehe Really now that is a stretch. W and I went to São Sebastião this morning to visit the hospital there as it is a place that accepts my health plan. The hospital there and the place here in town are like apples and oranges. So we will be driving the 30+ minutes tot he hospital in São Sebastião for little C to meet the world there. The hospital there is very nice, well equipped, well staffed and our doc feels more at ease there than the location here in town. All of these add up to a sense of relief and wellbeing for me. W is happy 'cause I'm happy so all is well.

We also double/triple checked to make sure that an epidural is covered in my health plan and provided all the proper criteria for an epi are going well, it is covered so we won't have to pay extra for it. Yeah again!!!! Since natural childbirth is still not as widely sought here as in the US I was worried that certain things like an epi would not be covered by a health plan. So we thank Jesus for taking care of us even before we needed it.

Love and hugs to you all!!!!!
