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:

Birth story and a few other stories to come.

I had, until Tuesday, doubted my mom’s tales of the month-overdueness for both me and my sister. I should have listened to her, and planned for this two weeks of waiting from [...]
The last swelling post was a bit of exaggeration - for comedic effect - and because of that deviation from the absolute truth I have been punished. 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.

+/- 1/2 cup Raw Whole Rolled Oats

+/- 1/8 cup Chopped [...]

I was grumpy pissed for about an hour, then we got back home [...]
