So far, so good. Baby is eating well, and growing strong. My breasts are still somewhat tender, but it is improving. Her mouth is just so little!
I’ve also started pumping, so hubby can feed her from a bottle now and then, which gives me more sleep!

How I did it: Talked to a friend to get a recommendation for a lawyer. Had some conversations with hubby about who would care for our child and have certain powers of attorney, etc.Called the lawyer, went in, named beneficiaries, powers of attorney, etc. Went in a couple weeks later and signed all the copies with witnesses.

How I did it: Before labor began, I did my best to stay active. I took long walks, rode my bike, and did a prenatal workout 1-3 times per week. I read a bunch about labor and delivery, had long conversations with my husband, and hired a doula. Hubby, who was very active in reading about this with me, was incredibly supportive of my decision to avoid drugs if possible. We had a code word, "Rubik's Cube," so if my labor got too painful, I could use it, a… Read how I did it…
How I did it: This was a long time coming. We started from scratch, and spent over 2 years just trying to get some solid information on where our sewer pipe went under the floor. We finally got some relatively good information from the water department.After that, my hubby and contractor FIL dug up the concrete floor in the basement, and dug down to find the pipes.

I’m not good with putting myself on a schedule for these things. But since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve done my exercise video about once a week, and before that I did belly dance once a week. All those things add up, so I feel I’m doing well.
We’ve moved out one of the twin beds, and my sewing stuff is now all in the basement. The crib is set up, the dresser/armoire is in place. Lots of things floating around and the closet is still full, but we’ve got a start!
