Birth Story Part 2

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 [...]

Birth Story part 1

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.  [...]

39 Weeks

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 [...]

38 Weeks

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 [...]

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 ways Blake can massage [...]

How will I get through the Delivery?

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 [...]

28.5 weeks

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 [...]

BIG!

I met with my mid wife again today.  Everything went really well but we did have a little surprise.  I am 25 weeks today but I am measuring 30 weeks.  It is nothing to be worried about but I am just really curious to find out why!  She says that she will be back in [...]

Midwife Update

Monday we had our second visit from the midwife.  It went really well.  We talked a bit about how I was feeling and she left a book with me to read about giving birth.  Blake had to leave work a bit early to try to make the appointment and he managed to get there right [...]

I almost forgot!

Jeannie thank you for reminding me!  I was gone so long I forgot about the midwife appointment! It went really good.  She checked my blood and urine and said everything was looking good except I need more water.  We talked about nutrition a little and I answered tons of questions.  This visit was mostly about [...]
