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.

Baby stuff is expensive. There is pretty much a gadget for just about everything. I completely understand why people say having a baby is expensive. You could easily spend thousands of dollars just in the first year alone. When I was pregnant with Jude I thought that a new baby required new gear. Now, a…

We took the boys to Wet-n-Wild Emerald Pointe in Greensboro, NC, on Saturday. I grew up going to Emerald Pointe but hadn’t been in almost 20 years. It was the same as I remember; it was just a little updated. When we walked into the park, they played popular music during Joe and my childhood….
