With induction looming on the horizon I invested in a downloadable book on acupressure to induce naturally. This was Thursday. Being the skeptics we are Marc and I skimmed it but, didn’t even really try anything until Friday. The book suggested doing each of the 6 or so pressure points for a few minutes each, [...]
*Because I am so severely late in an update – here is a pre-written post – “recipe #2″ (because I assumed I’d be waiting for the little man to show up all week.) This weekend I intend to write the story of Harrison’s birth as well as our first night home – which was INSANE! [...]
I’ve finally added some day 1 photos: & then started the 0-1 month photo gallery: Birth story and a few other stories to come. Listening/Watching: Once

While last time, I felt as though my body was swelling to horror movie proportions – now, it actually is. It’s mainly focused in the hands, elbows and [...]
Thinking back over the past months I realized that I have developed some fantastic new recipes which need to be documented for all eternity. Some came and were short lived; while others have stood the test of pregnant-time. Here is a recent favorite. Preg-Oatmeal +/- 1/2 cup Raw Whole Rolled Oats +/- 1/8 cup Wheatgerm [...]
