Birthing a baby is hard work. Being pregnant is hard work. That is why it is so important to stay hydrated during pregnancy and labor.
I go to the gym a few times a week. I remind myself that I’m training for a marathon, a birth marathon. I was in labor with Jude for over 20 hours. While I tried to remain focus on the task at hand my midwife and doula kept reminding me to drink so my body would have the sustenance it needed to finish strong. As I prepare for the birth of baby number 2 I am reminded how important it is to have plenty of liquids available to drink during labor.
The Nalgene Multidrink will be perfect for a long, or hopefully short, day of labor. It gives me the option to drink through the pivoting straw for sipping or loop top for big gulps. The pivoting straw also has a leak-proof lock which is nice with a 2 year old bouncing around the house. The Multidrink is bpa free yet still impact resistant and dishwasher safe. It holds 20oz. so I won’t have to get as many refills. Until delivery day I will be using the Multidrink at the gym while I train for my birthing marathon.

I never know what to get my dad for Father’s Day. He’s the type of dad that buys things from himself whenever he wants them. In the past he has actually made me return things I bought him so I could keep the money. I’ve found the best gifts for my dad (the ones he…
My boys love apples. We had a period of about 4 months last year where we had to hide our apples so they would last more than 2 days. I love that when afternoon snack time rolls around my boys just instinctively grab an apple. They especially love Lil Snappers Kid Size Fruit. We often…
Jude just had his first encounter with Mickey Mouse and is now obsessed with all things Mickey. We watched the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Road Rally DVD and now Jude is constantly asking to watch “Mickey House” and I’m totally O.K. with that. I love Mickey Mouse. I didn’t think Jude would get into Mickey since…

Nothing quite says North Carolina summer like a concrete custard from Goodberry’s. Goodberry’s is probably our family’s most loved frozen dessert. If given a choice between Goodberry’s and any other ice cream or dessert location, Goodberry’s will almost always win. Ok, enough of my gushing. But seriously I do love some frozen custard. When we…
