I was attacked last night in my sleep.
Attacked.
On my FaceBook page.
A simple status update: “Sign of an unvaccinated child: when given a toy syringe to play with, uses it to do “shots” of herbs in their mouth.”
My kids got a doctor dress-up kit for Christmas. Since they haven’t really ever been to the doctor that [...]
A good birth story almost always spans the course of several days. Rarely does it happen in the dramatic instantaneous way you see it on sitcoms. Especially for me! It has always taken a good nudge to get my body to let these babies out. Maybe I’m just a 42+ weeker, maybe I’m too laid [...]
We all know they eat, sleep, and poop. But now that I’ve had some sort of sleep to speak of, I’ve got further reflections.
By the way, I HAD A BABY! Evelyn Rose was born at home on Monday the 19th, 1:35 a.m. Weighing 10 pounds, 8 ounces, 21.5 inches long and adored by [...]
Well. What is there to say? We tried e v e r y t h i n g to get this baby to come, for four days. Walking, walking, walking…and I mean a midwife’s definition of walking, not a nice stroll down the street. By “walking” I mean sweating and huffing in a half way [...]
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned that I have a mental block against laboring and birthing at night? Every single time, I have stopped labor around 10 and gone to bed and had the greatest sleep of my life! Last night was no exception. I still made progress even while sleeping though, with lots [...]
Just a quick note…
I’m headed in to the chiropractor this morning for some acupuncture and then the midwife is journeying here with promises of not leaving until I’ve given birth. I’m currently only 9 days overdue, but we both feel that the best place for this baby is OUTSIDE of me right now. And my [...]
This video was so fascinating and entertaining to watch! This man allowed two Brittish midwives to simulate labor pains on him to see if he could take the heat…
I was a band nerd for most of high school. I played flute- both in symphonic and marching band. Much of that time I was first chair flute. For those of you non-band nerd types, that means I was A-1. All flute solos went directly to me, and I had to compete twice a year [...]
I just need to verbalize how stupid this is.
I do this every. single. time. And every time I say that I’m not going to do it, and I do. I guess maybe it’s just part of it, and it’s normal and I just need to be patient with myself?
Here I am, about to birth another [...]
This post may or may not be an indication of my inclination as to the gender of our baby. Feel free to take the poll.;)
I love being a girl. Last night as we were drifting off to sleep {okay, BRENT was drifting off to sleep… I was grunting and thrashing around trying to get comfortable}, [...]
