We had our home visit tonight. It was very different from our first two–much less formal and not so urgent feeling. The midwife asked what our vision was and I pretty much said, “Well, and then I’ll just have the baby.” We all laughed because isn’t that the truth of it all. You can plan [...]

I’ve made a decision that feels SO much better than the back and forth worrying I’ve been doing about this baby and birth. The Plan: I’m going to have a baby. At some point in time, probably in the first week of July I will feel my body revving up to do some amazing transcendental [...]

I absolutely love being pregnant. I feel very good pregnant and I like how curvy and sexy my body fills out. I feel empowered and strong and able. Perhaps my favorite thing about being pregnant is the added mindfulness that comes along with it. I rethink everything from my caffeine intake to my posture. I [...]

These last few weeks have been a blur of wonderfulness. I know I’ve hinted at the local birth activism I’ve been participating in, but I want to share where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. I usually fall asleep dreaming up blog posts and now I fall asleep dreaming of how social media can [...]

If you have a moment, I’d love to share. I have been having a really a teeny-weenie bit of a hard time acclimating myself to this pregnancy. It’s not physical, because I feel great. I have very few symptoms and I actually love the physical state of being pregnant. It was as a good friend [...]
