Both our kids crashed at church last night. Something they haven't done since they were babies. I was in panic mode knowing it would be 1 am before they could sleep that night. It wasn't that bad after all. Maybe 10:30 or 11. It's so hard when your kids aren't themselves. Sleep is so powerful! -
Oh Natalie is such a bear to deal with when she hasn't gotten enough sleep. -
thanks for the Dr. recommendation! Did you use a midwife or doula along with the dr or just him? If you didn't use anyone else, did you just study up on natural methods (to progress labor, etc) yourself beforehand? (I have heard drs are really only there for the birth, not the labor, but it's great to have a name of someone who will support our wishes!) Thanks so much! -
^not sure how long ago you made the comment, so thought I would remind you I was the one asking about drs, etc in St Louis :)

Thanks so much!! Its wonderful to know about that hospital; I'll definitely plan on using it! So, did the Bradley class teach you natural methods of progressing labor, etc? That would be the main reason I would need a doula or someone--to suggest methods to progress labor, deal with pain...I would expect a class to teach about the pain part but don't know what else is involved. I need to figure out what class I want to take; I haven't researched the differences yet (Bradley, hypnobirth, can't remember the other names). I just wonderif there are things that come up during labor that the class doesn't discuss that having a doula or someone would be helpful. If you don't mind me asking, Did you have any problems with your labors or births?

...this is my first, so I have no clue what to expect, although I realize every pregnancy is different, so I will never really know what to expect! :)

I think because he's close I'm not really concerned about if I go into labor. My problem has been the split pubic bone. With the weight of the 38 week baby on it it's really hard to walk. So the girls and I are doing A LOT of reading and other activites where they can bring things to mommy while I sit. He is done tonight. I am SOO happy for that. But this was a great opportunity and I'm glad he was able to do it. All in all, this week has been great. Just obsessed with baby coming! So what were we all thinking anyway?!?!?! I guess you gotta be crazy sometimes huh! -
So glad to catch up with you, friend! How in the world have you guys been?

Yes! The other families at church are convinced that Liam is a bully because he's always trying to push the other boys and get them to play with him. They even got him a punching bag for his birthday and said something about now maybe he won't try to hit the other kids. I feel bad for him because he just wants to play. Dare I say it? The other little boys are pansies! :)
