First haircut!

That's right folks, the curls are gone! (Still missing them... the new 'do makes him look so much older!)

Before
 
After
In other news: I have my first midwife appointment this week. I'm looking forward to it, but am somewhat nervous  because I am 20 weeks along and here I am seeing someone new! I finally decided to make the switch after reading as much as I could about VBAC and birth in general. I really enjoyed the book Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. The whole second section of the book talks about what the body goes through during labor and birth, as well as the effects of C-sections and the reasons why (in most cases) they probably wouldn't be necessary if the medical community embraced birth as a natural process that shouldn't be hurried or forced. I wish I had read this before my first birth, but am looking forward to putting this new mindset into practice this time around! And I look forward to having support for my choice to try for VBAC! :)
