Not even two weeks postpartum and I’m not feeling well. Totally bites. I have an infection from nursing called mastitis which is somewhat painful but not as painful as I know it could be. But I really am feeling more beat up with flu like symptoms that includes a fever. The midwife is calling in a prescription [...]

The birth story of Noah David
Here’s how it all happened…. if you are one of my male readers like Jamie, you may want to skip this post unless you are ok with reading a somewhat detailed birth story.
After church on Sunday I took the girls home and we ate lunch together and then it was time for naps. [...]

Noah David Andrews
Noah was born at 3:40 am today… October 20th! He’s 8 pounds 13 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long - a big boy! We got to the birth center around 11:20 pm and labor really picked up once there. I’ll take some time to share his birth story once I’ve collected my thoughts and have rested [...]

Full Moon
So you know how people say that women often go into labor when there is a full moon? It didn’t work… I’m still here…. and still pregnant. But I also want to make it clear that I’m not complaining at all. I’m happy that I’m still pregnant. Each day that goes by is helping me get rid of [...]

the rumor mill
Because I forgot that Grace had school today I got a phone call from friends to see if I was in labor or had Noah already… I’m so glad that they called and asked me because I don’t want rumors starting to spread. Yesterday a friend asked if I was doing ok because she had heard [...]

Randomness
I’m staying home from church today and am currently watching cartoons with my little Becca girl. Yesterday I was on the go almost the entire day and by the time the evening rolled around I was having pretty steady and painful contractions. Now, I’ve had the false labor already a couple times this pregnancy and figured [...]

Week 38
It’s hard to believe that the end of my pregnancy is finally here. Only 14 more days until my due date! I’m praying that he’s an on time baby and if I do go past my due date that physically I don’t change too much on the comfort scale. Seriously, I’m feeling pretty good. The [...]

Uh Oh
I’m nesting. Yikes! I know I’m nesting because I have this intense desire and need to organize and clean things that normally I don’t even bat an eyelash at. I’m super serious too…. I’ve already tackled Noah’s clothing, the girls clothing, the kitchen… and now I’m off to write thank you’s, organize big book shelf in [...]

Done
That’s how I feel today. I “slept in” this morning until about 7:40 – Rich left for work later than normal and took care of the girls this morning… it was completely unexpected but definitely welcomed. What a great guy! I was just so tired. I’m sure that if my back wasn’t aching like crazy [...]
