What a Wednesday

Yesterday Jude and I decided to get out and go to the mall… mainly to pick up a wedding gift and get some lunch. After we ate, walked around a bit and bought the wedding gift we headed to the car. The sky looked dark with rain clouds so we thought we should head home….

he’s so smart

so i’ve seen these shows on tv while breastfeeding about women having multiples…. I cannot image what that would be like… one is challenging enough. I can’t imagine trying to breastfeed twins… I’m guessing breastfeeding anymore is next to impossible. jude has hit a few rough patches along the way but seems to be adjusting…

Perspective on Waiting

So last week after my meeting with our midwife and doula I decided to make a list of “Post-Due Date Rewards”. Erin, our doula, said a friend of hers had done this and it sounded like a great idea so I’m copying her. For each day I go past my due date (June 20th) I…

Baby Lieb Update

Obviously today is our “due date”, whatever that means, and no baby yet. Over the past week the baby has dropped and moved into an ideal birthing position (ROA – Right Occiput Anterior, or back along the right side of the mother’s belly).
