New Braunfels Family Birth Center

Well, with the news that baby #3 is taking shape, I immediately needed to find a new OB-GYN. The doctor that delivered Ellie stopped taking our insurance, the one gynecologist I saw the year after has closed her practice, and I have severely procrastinated the chore of finding a new one. I had come across the New Braunfels Family Birthing Center a couple of years ago and just kind of filed the information away. I emailed the midwife, Amber, on Friday, asking questions about insurance, etc. I was really excited to find out that she usually gets the insurance companies to make an in-network-exception. When I met her, she was toting around her own sweet 7-week-old baby. I just immediately felt at home, and she and her assistant were so attentive when I told them how my previous two births went. There is a nice big birthing tub, which I think it would be cool to try. If I want to do any ultrasound imaging, they refer me to an imaging center in San Marcos. I just loved it! The feeling I got was so great compared to how I felt calling various OBs and trying to get squeezed in for an appointment. She sent me immediately to the lab to get blood drawn to double check my hormone levels - I'm always a little worried since I had to take progesterone the first trimester with Grayson. So here's hoping for: good lab results, good insurance news, and a healthy pregnancy. With everything on my plate right now, I have to focus on one day at a time during this pregnancy. Last night I was so stressed I couldn't fall asleep until midnight. Now, I am eating leftover birthday cake and drinking an Izze soda trying to get a sugar boost! No major symptoms right now except throbbing boobs, extreme thirst, and a big appetite.
