 Fiona Siobhan was born this morning at 10:39am after an intense labour! Contractions really started/picked up at 2am, they were less than 2 minutes apart and over a minute long by about 4 or 5 (and checking myself I guessed I was probably 6 or 7 cm dilated already), then they just petered out [...]  We spent this past weekend cooking up a storm. I’m actually impressed with how much we managed to get done. We made chicken and beef broth, chili, steak and mushroom pie, prespiced whole chickens, wontons, yam and bean and beef and bean burritos (with homemade tortilla shells and everything), hamburger soup, [...]  I just realized it’s been over a month since I last posted. There are so many ideas and posts floating around in my head and half finished as drafts, it surprises me a bit I haven’t published any of them. We have been busy though. My mom came out for a last minute visit [...]  Meredith and I were lying in bed together this morning and the baby was rolling and kicking quite vigorously. I asked Meredith if she wants to feel the baby and she nodded so I put her hand on my belly. It took a couple of tries, but eventually the baby did kick right where [...]  Pregnancy-wise things are still pretty uneventful. Kris felt the baby for the first time last Wednesday. He/she moves around pretty much every evening for a while now. I feel him intermittently throughout the day too, but it’s most reliable in the evenings right now. We haven’t scheduled an ultrasound and didn’t plan to, though [...]  We were never great about getting belly pictures when I was pregnant with Meredith, but at least we managed to do it every couple of weeks or so. We’ve been even worse with this baby. We finally did get a few today though, and I thought I would share what we have so far [...]  I never really got “nesty” with my last pregnancy. I wanted to nest, but between the constant nausea in the first and second trimester, and the horrible heart burn (I feel so sorry for anyone who gets heart burn regularly, I sometimes think that was worse than the puking) and achiness in the third [...]  I can’t believe I’m already in the second trimester. It seems unreal that a third of the pregnancy would already be done. Though first trimester is a bit deceptive, since the first two weeks you’re not actually pregnant and the second two weeks you normally don’t know about it. And first trimester is only [...] A while ago, I posted an article about the Natural Age of Weaning by Dr. Katherine Dettwyler. I recently found another article by the same person about childhood sleep patterns that I feel is very well written and worth a read. Meredith still doesn’t “sleep through the night” by most people’s [...] For those that missed it in the last post, I added a subtle (or maybe not-so-subtle) clue to some big news. Next March, we will be welcoming baby number two to our family. I’m still really early (I will be 5 weeks on Monday), so we’re not officially announcing anything even to family for [...] |
