I went to a friends baby shower today. Several people asked me how I was doing with the colic and post partum depression….wow…come to think of it, both are doing way better!
Madeline has been feeling so much better. The intense screaming is pretty much gone. She still fusses a lot, but despite what many people [...]
I’m a sucker for free stuff and have no clue how to parent this newborn I now own. So I meticulously sorted through the bajillion packets of coupons, butt cremes, and info the hospital sent home with us. I hoped to find nuggets of advice that would make this parenting stuff make sense. Didn’t find [...]
If I thought I had trouble figuring out “how far along” I was before, I’m *really* messed up now.
Today is Maddie’s due date…er, the first due date, before we found out the morning that we delivered her that she was actually only 34 wks old and her due date would have been June 2.
According to [...]
Ah, this is what I have been longing for! Madeline is now at home! I’ve longed to experience with her the most basic of activities. I love that right now she is sleeping in her crib, I’m wondering if I should wake her to eat or let her sleep, I’m slightly tired [...]
Shocked? Yes!
The past 11 days have been filled with life changing details. Hourly my life changes so I will try to make this some what understandable and not too lengthy.
Thursday we had gone for our 2nd chiropractic apt. to try and get the baby to turn from breech position. Friday, Dustin’s parents came into town [...]
This is a quick post to announce the birth of
Madeline Kate Boston
Born 4/15/06 at 5:51 am
5lbs 9 oz
16 3/4 inches long
Maddie caught us completely by suprise on Friday night by breaking my water and then making her entrance by emergency c-section 7 hours later. She is doing wonderful but has needed some extra support [...]
After receiving tons of prayer and trying some things our midwife suggested, (laying on a decline off of the couch, playing hard rock music on my upper abdomen and soft music at the bottom and hanging upside down from trees…j/k on the last one), the baby is still breech and snuggling up in my ribs. [...]
I had a feeling…
Over the past week, the obsession with my ever rolling belly and inspection of bump like body parts has continued. I’m constantly bugging Dustin to feel the head or the back, etc. Dustin usually responds with, “that can’t be the head it is supposed to be down”. But, if it isn’t the [...]
Never again will I do a search for blogs on natural birth, Bradley Method or home birth. What is up with these “gentle choice” women? There is nothing gentle about them. The forums were filled with angry, defensive women bashing those who choose to birth in the hospital. Their excuse…they are tired of the constant [...]
Dustin’s wonderful parents have been in town since Sunday and I have loved relaxing with them, hearing stories about the kids when they were little, and soaking up all the attention his parents pour out :) Yesterday we went to Babies “R” Us to check out the loot I have on the registry. I ended [...]
