I started replaying my labor in my head today. The feelings came back and everything. My labor was so peaceful. My delivery was anything but. My body started pushing for me. I lost all control. My midwife was telling me to slow down so I didn't tear, but I couldn't stop it. I couldn't do anything but let it happen. About 3 of those moments later, my baby was out. My water hadn't broken until her head emerged and even then, my midwife had to break it herself. Which means my baby didn't get the fluid squeezed out of her lungs on the way down the birth canal. But my midwife was amazing and knew exactly what to do. I didn't even realize what had happened until she placed her on my chest. I just cried for so long. I was in shock. Disbelief. It was like walking a tight rope between death and life. What an amazing feeling. We spent a good amount of time getting the fluid out of her lungs and waiting for her to turn red instead of purple. The cord was untouched and my placenta slid out during this time. No pushes necessary. It was a beautiful life changing moment. All in a recliner. Firecracker is what she is. And she still hasn't slowed down.
My entire birth story will be on my blog in a few days and should be a fun read. Lol
My midwife wasn't bothered at all that she hasn't moved..She didn't even listen to her heart or anything..She still hasn't really moved today..I don't have a clue what to do now..
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I can't believe it
My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was...

My beautiful little girl went to be with God, her baby sister, and her uncle yesterday morning! I wish so badly that she was still here with me. She was my best friend and my rock. My beautiful sweet baby! My heart went with her! I will never stop missing you my beAutiful Hannah Nicole! Moms always trust your gut feeling and NEVER believe a doctor when they try to change your mind. My baby would still be here with me if the doctors just listened. She went to have a pik line put in which is like ...
