You can find part one of this story here.
Well now that Piper is 5 months old, maybe I can bring myself to write this. For the first few months I couldn’t bring myself to write this part because I didn’t want to relive it. My baby is perfect and healthy and I hate that we [...]

I realize that over month has passed…but we have been busy around here. I have been slowly working on this post, typing here and there when Piper lets me put her down. We don’t get much of that! Let’s hope I was able to remember everything now!
Monday (April 27th) I was feeling pretty good. It [...]

Wow! On one hand I can’t believe the end is here on the other I feel like I have been pregnant forever! I find myself having mixed feelings as the end draws near. I am so excited to see Piper and hold her I can’t stand it. But I will miss some aspects of being [...]

We finally have the internet up and running again! We are still waiting for the baby so no one missed anything!
I have been feeling pretty good. Just tired and a bit out of breath. I have been sleeping terrible, I can’t wait until I can sleep on my stomach again! Or just roll over for [...]

I thought I should check in. Our internet is down right now and I didn’t want anyone thinking I was having the baby yet. I will be sure to post on here as soon as I can or Blake can that we had her! I haven’t been having any contractions so I don’t really feel [...]
Birth Class

Last night we attended birth class! It was really helpful. I did have to deal with Blake wanting to crack jokes before class got started but he finally behaved and I think he actually enjoyed it. We learned all sorts of great positions I can labor in to help relax and [...]

Now with just a month or less I am getting eager! I am really hoping to go early. Only because the past week has taken a toll on my back! She dropped last Tuesday when I was having some contractions and now she must be putting lots of pressure on my spine.
If you compare this [...]
How will I get through the Delivery?
Posted in home birth, midwife, pregnancy on February 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This has been a question on my mind more and more as time has gone by. I finally realized one day that I was completely terrified and had no clue what to expect and how to get through it. We were signed up to take a birthing class at one of the local hospitals but [...]

Wow it won’t me much longer and I will be posting photos of our sweet baby girl! I can’t believe how time has flown by. I am feeling pretty good. I give a lot of the credit for that to the Wii Fit. The yoga has been really good. The hula hooping on the other [...]
Birthing Class

I learned a good lesson last night. I started searching for a birthing class to take and was amazed at how much they cost. Being that we would have to go Lexington I thought a weekend intensive would be the best option. Having to go on a week night for 5 or so weeks in [...]
