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.

It’s no secret that getting kids to eat their vegetables can be a challenge. Luckily, Jude will eat a few select vegetables willingly and almost enthusiastically. However, there are myriad of vegetables he won’t even look at. So I do my best to cleverly incorporate them into our meals hoping he might accidentally digest one…

I’m so blessed to have kids that like vegetables and eat them willingly, most of the time. On occasion they refuse to eat their veggies and try to pull out the “picky eater”. In our house you have to try everything on your plate no matter how many previous times you’ve tried the same food….
