I read through my last 3 blog posts describing the birth of Blayke. As I was reading, I thought - was everything really as awesome as I described? So many people had shared their experiences with me before babe was born and no one's story was like mine. Like not even semi-closely related. Women had … Continue reading Rose Colored Glasses
The Birth of B³ – Part 3
The next time we saw this hallway, we would be parents. Parents. Mom & Dad. Mother & Father. Daddy & Mommy. A little girl's ol' man and momma. Sh*t just got real. Way too real. But there was no stopping it now. It was go time. The labor and delivery room was much larger than … Continue reading The Birth of B³ – Part 3
The Birth of B³ – Part 2
I took the first round of Cytotec at 3:00 pm, the second round at 6:00 pm, then at 9:00 pm before they could give me the third and final dose, things started to happen… Before I continue I want to give a little background. We decided to go the midwife route with this pregnancy... Yes, we … Continue reading The Birth of B³ – Part 2
The Birth of B³ – Part 1
It's odd to me that I feel the need to write a disclaimer but I'm going to anyway. Please know that I wholeheartedly understand every birth story is different. I commend all women and partners who have experienced the birthing process. Each of our stories hold value and have brought a life into the world … Continue reading The Birth of B³ – Part 1
Past Due
I have a lot of things that are past due. The most obvious - this baby girl that's taking her sweet time to get here 🙂 Am I miserable? Not at all. Not even a little bit. The most obvious thing past due - this baby girl that's taking her sweet time to get here … Continue reading Past Due
My Mount Rainier – Part 2
Training for a baby is quite possibly one of the most terrifying things I've ever done. The mental game, for me, far exceeds the mental game that comes with preparing yourself to climb a mountain for a couple days. Knowing that I have to get my body ready for some of the worst pain it's … Continue reading My Mount Rainier – Part 2
My Mount Rainier – Part 1
For some reason, Mt. Rainier is the only mountain that I claim as mine. I've been higher than Rainier (We climbed Mt. Elbert in Colorado which is 14,439 ft as opposed to Rainiers' 14,411 ft) but it just isn't the same. Every day that I've stared at Mt. Rainier for the past 5 years, my … Continue reading My Mount Rainier – Part 1
BABY SHOWER!!
Let me start by saying baby showers in general aren't really my thing. Come to think of it, they aren't most people's thing. It's pretty rare that women looove going to baby showers - they go because they love their friends and want to support them, but let's be honest - eating baby food from … Continue reading BABY SHOWER!!
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring – literally, we live in WA!
Holy crap, we have a baby shower coming up in 2 weeks! We have an awesome group of friends that are planning it for us and I'm definitely feeling the love already. It is going to be so much fun - odd because I never saw myself as one to get excited about a baby shower, … Continue reading It’s Raining, It’s Pouring – literally, we live in WA!
