This Blog is the first blogg I have EVER done! The idea behind this blogg is to tell people about our struggle to have a pure home birth. We have so many things in place but are having a very hard time saving up the money to pay our midwife what her fee is. We are doing what we can but as everyone knows saving is easier said than done.

2 days till due date!
Today was a good day, except being overly tired. I am the type of person who can't stand being tired when there is so much I am requiring of myself. I push myself to the limit sometimes, and today I felt it for sure. I ended up crashing on the couch for about 2 hours. There were no contractions today, just me staying busy. We got the adaptor for the facet to run the water to our birthing tub. Now that I think about it I feel as if it's important to let you know how blessed I feel to have a birthing tub. A very good friend of mine whom is a massage therapist has traded her trade for the use of the tub. This to me is such an amazing gift!! I am so thankful that she was willing to do that for us so I can benefit from the tub. On top of selflessly getting us the tub she has also given me her services as a Doula, at no cost. I no that I am blessed again to have her here to help pull me together and remind me of the various things I can do to help myself during labor. Thank you so much for everything my dear friend! BTW if anyone in the Zanesville or surrounding area is interested in my dear friends services as a massage therapist or a doula please comment and I will get back to you. She is VERY amazing and gifted at her trade. I don't have much more to say tonight, tomorrow I will re read my posts and add some things that I may have left out. Anyway good night all and thanks again for reading my blog, it is helping me a lot! :0)

Natasha,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you! This blog is awesome and I think that reflecting on things can give you a peaceful feeling just knowing that you are doing it the way that you want it to go. It is great that you are sharing especially for the fact that I am not there and this brings me closer to what is going on in your life. I am so very proud of you. This is your time, your way, and you seem very calm and happy about the way things are progressing. These are the special moments that some day you will be reflecting on and saying..."I did it my way" (ok..I know I stole that line from a famous song but it's the truth).
Thank you for sharing and I have enjoyed every minute that I have spent with you (so to speak)......
I love you so much and will be sending positive thoughts to you that your desires come true. Aunt G
