Through Counting to 10: Eat, Drink and Be Healthy
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011/04/eat-drink-and-be-healthy.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. Eat, Drink and Be Healthy. For some time now, in an effort to save money and eat more healthfully, my husband and I have changed our "take-out ways" and have been cooking much more at home. This is timely because our daughter is phasing out baby food and we're being forced to prepare healthy options instead of junk with filler. Still, I encourage all of you to join me in this challenge. Eat, drink and be healthy (and maybe save money and the world.) Bon appetit! All kinds of yumm.

Through Counting to 10: Busy, Busy
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011/04/busy-busy.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. It's been a while since I've posted so here's a quick update:. I feel like so much of my time goes to thinking about maternity issues and childbirth. It's been a very consuming process. I guess it comes with the territory when you're always doing research and it's all you read about. I have a feeling that they are doing what so many people do (heck, I did it! On the home front, Juliet turned 16 months old a couple days ago. I can't get over how fast she is growing. We just...Her p...

Through Counting to 10: March 2011
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Hearing it from the Horses Mouth. Have you ever found that, even though you may know. Something, it still means more coming from an expert source? Yet again, this was true yesterday. Juliet had her 15 month Well Baby visit and my husband and I have been a little concerned that she wasn't eating enough. Sure, technically we know that she doesn't need to consume the same amount she used to, but she eats so little sometimes that we thought we'd better ask to be sure. The placenta i...

Through Counting to 10: Trying to be More Eco-Friendly: My Brief Game Plan
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011/04/trying-to-be-more-eco-friendly-my-brief.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. Trying to be More Eco-Friendly: My Brief Game Plan. I've been thinking of ways to more environmentally friendly and live up to the manta reduce, reuse, recycle. My husband I are already avid recyclers and buy the most eco-friendly products we can. Still, I feel like we can do more. Here's a short list of practices I hope to incorporate into our daily lives:. Switch from paper towels to dish rags/cloth napkins (I really. Love paper towels so this will be a biggie! All kinds of yumm.

Through Counting to 10: About Me
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
Childbirth fascinated me long before I ever conceived. Even so, I was amazed by the re-birth I experienced after the birth of my daughter. Through Counting to 10' is more than a blog title. it's an outlook on life. Childbirth and parenting has taught me to be unapologetic about my passions. It stems from the hard lessons I learned delivering my daughter; to listen to myself and ignore what the establishment says my delivery (and life) is supposed to be.

Through Counting to 10: The Importance of Preserving Home Birth
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011/09/importance-of-preserving-home-birth.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. The Importance of Preserving Home Birth. Not too long ago, I used to think "home birth is a nice option. An option women should have” but beyond that, not much more. Recent events have made home birth so much more to me than “just a nice option.”. Just over a year ago, my grandfather passed away. Death, like birth, can affect us more profoundly than the surface would indicate. My grandfather’s final wish was to die at home. And he wanted to leave this earth the same way.

Through Counting to 10: Got Cloth?
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2011/05/got-cloth.html
Saturday, May 7, 2011. As previously mentioned, in an effort to be more eco-friendly one of the changes I decided to attempt was adding cloth diapering to our daily routine. Here's how it works:. You MUST use Flats. You MUST handwash them. How is up to you. (bathtub, sink, large wash tub, portable non electronic washing machine, or camp style washer (bucket and plunger- think churning butter). You MUST air dry them. (indoors or outdoors, makes no difference). You can use disposable liners. My simple plan...

Through Counting to 10: From Supporting Families to Supporting My Husband's Dream
http://rbatey.blogspot.com/2012/01/from-supporting-families-to-supporting.html
Thursday, January 5, 2012. From Supporting Families to Supporting My Husband's Dream. It is with a heavy heart, but great pride, that I share with all of you that I will be taking a hiatus from being a doula. My husband, who has been endlessly supportive of my pursuit of my dream to become a doula, was given the opportunity to follow his dream. The schedule that we must keep to facilitate this endeavor will make it impossible for me to juggle my full-time working schedule and balance family life. Birthin...
