soulbliss: announcing...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/05/announcing.html
Monday, May 04, 2009. Born 3:22am May 4 th. 7lbs 3.8 oz. Soul is a beautiful baby girl. Birth story is crazy and amazing and because of what happened I am shocked and thrilled to announce I got my VBAC. And every other thing I dreamed of. Birth story to follow when I get some time. I was home 10 hours after giving birth. Bliss loves her and was there, asleep until she was placed on my belly. Exhausted but no tearing at all. Much love to all. The biggest congrats of all times! She is positively beautiful!

soulbliss: it begins...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/05/it-begins.html
Sunday, May 03, 2009. So I began having contractions around 4am Saturday. I was really surprised and happy about it. They were not patterned but they were strong. I slept on and off until about 8:30 and when I got up I began losing my mucus plug. That didn't even happen with Bliss. I had contractions throughout the day, some easier than others. I did breast pumping, yoga ball bouncing, homeopathics. I have been using Contraction Master. Yesterday morning was cute because Dirt came onto my bed and laid ag...

soulbliss: addendum...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/05/addendum.html
Friday, May 01, 2009. I feel like I need to add something to my last post and maybe it is in part because of NIAW. And maybe it is just because I am staring at the end of my pregnancy coming fast upon me but my thoughts are jumbled so bear with me here. I did not have this fear with Bliss, not like this. But with 3 years of infertility, 3 babies lost just during that time alone, and 3 IVF's. Hugs to you sweetie. Holding you in my heart. And Bliss, and Soul. Hoping quiet finds you soon. You just broke my ...

soulbliss: 41 weeks 1 day...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/04/41-weeks-1-day.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. 41 weeks 1 day. Still here, still nothing happening. Have been pumping an hour or so a day but nothing has happened. I see the doc tomorrow and also do acupuncture. I am feeling frustrated for my own reasons but am doing ok. The thing is the body does not stay pregnant forever, none does, and if the baby is ok. Then a HUGE part of me wants to wait. Wants to trust my body. But the other part worries. So I go back and forth getting frustrated, anxious, angry, worried. Watching and ...

soulbliss: 40 weeks 3 days...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/04/40weeks-3-days.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. 40 weeks 3 days. Saw doc again today. Nothing has really changed, he said maybe a bit thinner in the cervix but he couldn't even break my waters if I wanted because it is still so high. I don't want that as of yet but it was frustrating to hear nonetheless. I got to talk on the phone to Annacyclopedia. And it MADE MY WHOLE WEEK! That was such a delight! And although the grape didn't work the small cherry/grape tomato worked like a charm. Thanks Anna! I would feel sad too if I ne...

soulbliss: the mother of the genius...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/03/mother-of-genius.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. The mother of the genius. So it is 1:30 in the morning and I am awake with far too many thoughts which I am sure I will write about in future days but the latest thoughts have turned to the entry two posts ago about Bliss' realization at our strange idioms. Here is my new thought. We say "I like that don't I. Which we already decided makes no sense, but we also say "I don't like that do I. That makes no sense either! I'm sorry, but that is something I teach.]. Fyi (since you're ...

soulbliss: middle names...
http://soulbliss.blogspot.com/2009/03/middle-names.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. So I am very particular about names for my child/ ren. I know the first name years prior. The middle name usually not until right before birth. I do not like gender specific names at all. I really care about the meaning of the names. Bliss Om is about the creation of Bliss. It fit and fits perfectly. Soul is the name of this baby. I have been really discussing middle names with Bliss lately because I like the idea of him having input. Anyhow thought I would share. I love them all ...

It's Taking A Village: Finally, a little productivity
http://itstakingavillage.blogspot.com/2008/09/finally-little-productivity.html
It's Taking A Village. Just to make the child! A was born April 18, 2008. Monday, September 8, 2008. Finally, a little productivity. Yes, this weekend we finally managed a bit of productivity. In fact, one might say we're starting - JUST - to get the hang of this family/working/kid/daycare/dog-walking/keeping-our-life-together thing. It finally feels like we've got our heads above the water. I'm scarred. I don't know if I'll ever be the same. Monday, September 08, 2008. When, after 37 hours of labor and ...
