Today marks the start of my 31st week of pregnancy. Tater is moving like a mad woman in mah-belly and I am still feeling and doing very well (aside from crying at the drop of a hat over N’s playful teasing)… Yesterday I was delighted to find a $25.00 gift certificate to Cotton Babies in […]
Wordless Wednesday: WTF? Edition!!
Why must Jack vomit almost every time he eats? Especially now that we have WHITE carpets? Perhaps it is because he is apparently swallowing whole pieces of food as opposed to chewing them like every other animal in the world. Yep, those whole bits came right from his stomach! Nothing like the sound of a […]
Preparing for my "homebirth" via my dreams.
The clock is ticking, each day that passes brings N and I that much closer to parenthood. We are still working to get everything we’ll need together for Tater’s arrival. All the physical stuff is important but we’ve also started to delve in to the emotional stuff that is preparation for Tater’s arrival. Unmedicated, natural […]
Weekend #2 in our new place, it's been busy!
I’ve got 3 posts in my saved drafts that I’ve been working on. I’ve written them pretty well but cant seem to actually finish them. They are even decent writing pieces that focus on specific topics rather than my usual “here are the updates” posts like this one. I’ve been trying to bust out some […]
So glad the weekend is almost here!
Well, we’ve officially spent the first week in our new place. We are much happier here, obviously and are so glad that the bulk of the moving process is behind us now. We’ve still got cleaning to do at the old place and we are trying to nail down a walk though appointment time with […]
Today marks my 30th week of pregnancy, holy cow I am HUGE!!!
Just took my 30th week pregnancy photo and good lord did I pop! If you visit my online baby shower site you can see what I was looking like during my 26th week of pregnancy while we were out visiting my midwife. In one month I’ve grown quite a bit and the pictures are major […]
I want to cloth diaper bad!!!
After yesterday’s Vlog post and the 2 hour chat I thought I would post about cloth diapers since there was so much discussion about them in the chat. Plus, I have family that are also intrigued about the new advances and technologies of the cloth diaper. So here is my view on them: After research […]
We're moved in… Vlog and chat
As promised I did a vlog and chat at 8pm my time (eastern daylight savings time) right here in this blog post. I am going to leave the chat box in the post. If you see more than one person on the chat list you can chat with them but there is no guaranteeing that […]
My body = my decision: A rant about big medicine
Today the Indiana Midwifery Licensure Bill is being heard and there is so much dirty politics surrounding it right now. Big medicine doesn’t want to bill to pass and now The Indiana State Medical Association is playing the abortion card to get the bill killed in the house. The bottom line is we all deserve […]
Just another post written in the wee hours of the morning…
Patience is not my best attribute right now! It is 4am. The dog woke me by scratching the door, she is sleeping outside along with one of our cats. You see, we are now living in the new place and we’ve got white carpets throughout the whole place. The backyard is a swamp since it’s […]
And we're outta here…
We picked up the moving truck and hit some grocery sales today. I am pretty pleased to have gotten a rack of pork ribs, 2 big packages of steak and 3 jars of kraft BBQ sauce all for under $30! I’ve taken to selectively shopping for what we need. We’ll go to one store and […]
Assvice: Lets talk baby play yards for a second…
You guys are so helpful with the mommy assvice advice! I can’t call it assvice because really I do appreciate hearing all the good info about those useless things that new parents often get sucked in to buying. My eyes have been opened, thank goodness! Gives me less to stress about, lol. So, we figured […]
Like everyone else, we're looking for ways to "get by"…
Normally we don’t complain or share the financial situation with others but I am pretty sick of hearing about how “lucky we are” from people who THINK we are living the high life. I am not going to rant on and on about this though… We’ve got less than 3 months to save up the […]
Don't worry, I am not dead- just blog slacking.
Don’t worry, I am not dead. Just crazy busy. I survived the tornado warning and am still doing well with Tater. We are still moving stuff in to our new place and I did actually do the video tour of the new house today. The video is kind of a speed demon tour though, lol. […]
Sitting in the nasty basement waiting for the storm to pass and pushing for the Indiana Midwifery Licensure Bill
I am sitting on a rubbermaid bin in my basement. The pets are all corralled in the laundry room and the weather radio is playing the weather coverage. We are under another tornado warning… N is at work this time so I am sitting this one out alone. This morning we had a “meeting” with […]
DOLE Recipie Review, what do you think?
I got some DOLE canned fruit and notification of a contest DOLE is running right now, the DOLE Make me a Chef Essay Contest. It runs from March 16 through May 8 and all you have to do is write a 200 word or less essay on “How DOLE Canned Fruit is part of your […]
Oh, my grinding pelvis and popping back. My bones are LOOSE these days!
For the next 3 months we’ll just be a few gimps in smelly, dirty clothes in a house the wreaks of dirty cat box and has pet hair all over the carpet. I can just see it now!
Just passing through to leave a quick update or On the move again!
I spent the day trying to get through my feed reader and visit as many of YOUR blogs as I can. I’ve still got lots of unread stuff and am making my way that direction soon I promise. – Yesterday we signed the paperwork and paid the down payment for our new home. We got […]
Gestational diabetes screening in pregnant woman, how my situation unfolds.
I seriously debated whether or not to post my last entry because I felt it was an unresolved issue that left me open to the possibility of getting tons of “you are a crazy hippy, listen to your doctor” feedback… You guys are amazing though! I never imagined I would receive so much helpful information […]
Just more reason why I wont be birthing with my OBGYN in a hospital…
This morning the home phone rings, we are still asleep so we don’t answer it. I know my OBGYN’s office is supposed to call me today regarding the results of my routine blood glucose screen. I also know I told them to call my cell phone. I fall back asleep and then my cell phone […]
