I have to admit that I have been terrible about taking pictures during this pregnancy. Even worse about sharing pictures during this fourth pregnancy! I had my sister come over and take 38 weeks pregnant pictures. I also asked her to snap new pics of the kids to update the blog About Me page and to have some pictures for upcoming posts.

Since this is my fourth go around with labor and delivery I feel like I have a little bit to share with you and some great reminders for myself! I promise to share some labor and delivery stories as soon as I can find all the pictures I want to use.
Education– DO NOT take anyone else’s word for it! Read up on what the natural progression of labor and delivery should be like. I highly recommend ANY of the Dr. Sear’s books (i.e The Pregnancy Book and The Birth Book). They are very helpful and encouraging without being dramatic and alarmist like the “Expecting” book. I started to read that one and immediately took it straight back to the library. So much contradictory advice and scare tactic writing it was ridiculous!

How on earth does a pregnant woman or mom of a newborn prepare for an emergency? Do you have an emergency kit of any kind? This could be a reality for my family and for many young families that we know. I know we take for granted being less than a 5 minute drive from over a dozen stores that sell food, diapers, wipes,etc. BUT what happens if you cannot get to the store? What if the power is wiped out due to high winds or ice? Shelves may sit full of useful products but without the power to run a register or the internet for the computers you are SUNK!
I will first share where we were at this week and our Prepper Fails and then how we managed to correct each one. Bare with me and LEARN with us as we navigate the road to Emergency Preparedness. This should be a fun adventure or a journey of family learning!

Love the idea of a home birth but not sure you’re that brave? Want the security of a hospital without the pressure? Try delivering in a birth center!
When you are expecting your first child, there are so many decisions to make about the kind of birth experience you want: Who do you want with you? Do you need a birth coach? Do you want an epidural? Would you consider a water birth? And the list of questions lengthens with each pregnancy book or website you obsessively read.
