well...maybe today??? (part 3)
Still no baby on the outside, but he's certainly chillin' on the inside. Maybe too comfortable in there... But we're having fun getting lots of rest and down time and maybe too much time to think. Hey if you are reading this blog, make a comment or something so I know someone's reading it! How about baby advice? We'll take that too... Here's a link to our cool doula Michelle LaDue, she has been coming over and giving me acupuncture treatments to get things rolling. She is a fantastic labor supporter! Once this does get going, I am excited to see the team of people we have working together. Our midwife and her partner, Sandy Woods and Corrie Macqueen are wise and experienced ladies and we are excited to see them in action. And, we're birthing, hopefully, at The Birth Center, at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hopsital, a place with top notch labor nurses experienced in natural delivery. So, once this gets going, I think it's going to be pretty cool. I have no clue what to do once we get home though, and they send you home pretty soon after you have your baby from The Birth Center. But I keep hearing I'll have a mothering instinct kick in. For our son's sake, I hope so! So, keep praying for us and soon, we will have good news to share. All in all, I don't care when he comes (though I would like to get my feet back, they look like duck feet right now) as long as he's healthy and strong. Love and peace everybody. ~Sarah

Hi baby girl. I had to work on an on-call problem and while waiting for a job to finish I came into read the blog. Talked to Mom tonight she told me you had another acupuncture. I hope things get rolling for you.. :-)
I'm sure it will be amazing to, though you will be a little busy to notice everything, see your teams in action.
Say hi to Judy. Hope she gets a flight soon.
I have the weekend covered if you have Baby D in time... hope so.
Love you... D
Hey Sarah and Brent!
I am checking this a few times a day. I thought I would leave some advice since I am the middle of taking care of a newborn and I have been reminded of some of the strange things they do that can be scarry if you aren't prepared.
(1) They role their eyes back in their head when they sleep. They also sleep with their eyes half open sometimes.
(2) They projectile poop. This is not diaharrea. As jeremy inquires, "When it all goes in as milk how the heck does your body decide what is pee and what is poop?" I think sometimes it gets a little confused.
(3) They can make really scarry sounds in their sleep. Almost all of them are normal. They squeek, grunt, gag and snort. This always takes me by surprise. Totally normal.
(4) Bright yellow spit up is normal. I am told green is not but bright yellow... totally fine. This is something that really scared me with Karis.
I hope this helps ease some anxiety when you see little D doing some of these things.
I will post more if I think of them.
Love,
Er
I'm reading! But I don't have any new-mom advice. Y'all are in my prayers, and as always, call me if you need anything!
