I am amazed to see how long it’s been since I updated. I apologize. I’m sure everyone’s lives are just as busy (if not more than mine), but sadly, my blogging has been on the back burner for a while!
To update on my Doula adventures, I’ve been blessed to attend/witness my first two births… Each were completely amazing but completely different in their own ways, and I learned so much. But mostly, I learned that I have a lot to learn!
After attending the second birth, we moved into a different house, and I swear that moving across town is worse than moving across the country! At least, that’s what I remember thinking at the time… I also kept thinking about how that move was the most tiring move we’ve ever done! And we’ve moved 6 times in 5 years (2 times we moved twice in the same town), so that is saying something!
A few days after we moved this time, though, I found out why I was so tired!
If I had known before we were supposed to move, I probably would have canceled the move! Because now, we are back to looking for a new place to be settled into before baby #3 arrives! We are due towards the end of February, and we couldn’t be more excited! We think it’s a girl :)
Having experienced attending my first two births as a Doula, I came to the decision that I would be choosing to welcome our third one into the world in a way I have never done before…A home birth! I can’t wait to start blogging again, and share more about what I’m learning and finding out about this wonderful option that is available to us as birthing mothers! It’s not for everyone, but I know it is for me this time around. I am actually looking forward to birth! That seems crazy!
Stay tuned for more information regarding home birth, and other pregnancy related goodies and more! Since it will be on my mind constantly for the next 6 months, I know I’ll be talking about it a lot.
