I have been so busy the past week. I can’t believe we’re already four weeks into the new school year. Schooling a first grader has been a very interesting experience for me. It’s amazing the things I’ve learned just through teaching another. I’m going to post pictures of some of our [...]

Leg Warmers - Babylegs homestyle
September 23, 2008 – 8:31 pm
Yay more and more things getting done to get ready for baby!! This weekend is my big freezer cooking push (I’ve planned quite a number of main dishes to put up). After doing that I think I will mostly feel ready for baby! Though he can’t come yet as there’s still a [...]
Split Pants!
September 19, 2008 – 11:35 am
We are planning to use elimination communication with the baby. I EC’d with two of the big kids - Cassidy starting at 6 months and Brennan starting around a week old. I didn’t with Asher and really regret it!!!! (read more about elimination communication, and Brennan’s EC journal).
So anyways, I had an [...]
Massage and Body Care
September 17, 2008 – 4:34 pm
Ahhhhhh. What a lovely section of the Pink Kit’s Essential Preparations the Massage and Body Care chapter was. I can deal with any childbirth course that tells my man to give me a massage. Of course having the instructions in our course materials doesn’t mean my fellow will actually give me a massage but… I [...]
The Internal Work
September 15, 2008 – 4:05 pm
I’ve promised in the last couple of Pink Kit work posts that I’d talk about the Internal Work. I wanted to get at least a week of it done and with being busy last week we’ve been doing the work about two weeks now.
The internal work is sort of like perineal massage, which you may [...]
Preparations

It’s so strange to think about the baby coming - it seems like a long way off. Yet at the same time it seems like it will come far too fast! I have so much to do!
We’ve officially started our homeschooling year which means the last two weeks have been busy, and we’ll be busy [...]
Tension and Relaxation During Birth
September 5, 2008 – 4:03 pm
Moving along in our Pink Kit work we did our next video section, which talks about how tension and relaxation can influence and affect the course of your baby’s birthing.
This section felt pretty familiar. After reading through New Focus and having gotten through most of the video I’ve learned a whole lot about relaxation [...]
Working with the Soft Tissue of the Pelvis
September 4, 2008 – 9:14 pm
I’m a little bit behind on writing about our Pink Kit work. We’ve done two more sections of the video and we’ve also started the “internal work” - which is done daily until baby comes. I’ll write about that in another post.
In this post I’ll write a bit about one of the [...]
The Importance of Eating…in pregnancy
September 3, 2008 – 3:56 pm
I firmly believe that excellent nutrition in pregnancy is vital. If you’ve read any of the articles I’ve written about food you know that :p
I continue to emphasize it in new articles and here in the blog because so many women don’t realize just how important it is. Of course there are articles all over [...]
