FAMILY

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…

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). I’ve been having slightly more intense contractions almost everyday but nothing consistent……

at our new table! Last night it wasn’t 100 degrees outside and we had a new kitchen table to eat at…. henceforth our lovely grilled dinner! Joe…. my grillin man! One day we’ll get a full size grill.

Joe and I had a very productive yet relaxing weekend. Let me recap how marvelous it was so you can understand and so I can remember. Friday – We relaxed at home and ate BBQ chicken, Yellow Squash and French Fries. Then journeyed out to Lowes Home Improvement to buy supplies for Joe’s new pedal…

It’s common knowledge that most pregnant women have cravings. However, most women don’t crave pickles with ice cream. After talking to several of my pregnant friends I’ve learned that my cravings are pretty standard. During my first trimester I dealt with typical morning sickness or rather all day nauseua. Therefore, I craved very little except…
