My goodness, summer certainly is flying by. I've been estranged from my computer. And now I'm not quite sure where to start. So I'll throw out an invite to come to our farm for a "Labor" Day Pot Luck. Yes as a homebirth mom, I mean Labor in the birthing sense. I guess you could call this the first official event of the Motherhouse Homebirth Network. This is a gathering for moms
(current & expecting) & families in our area to meet each other, share birth stories, share resources, support, hang out and eat some good food while the kids run around the farm. While my hope is to raise awareness about homebirth, I could also easily say midwifery, natural birth, water birth, alternative birthing etc. My intention is not to exclusively promote homebirth, but to get together with other women who see birth as a inherently normal process.
As an off shoot, let me know if you are interested in a mom's group along the same ideas - including nursing, cloth diapering, attachment parenting, etc....
I suppose the time as come to mention that yes, I am pregnant again. Approaching the half way mark! I've been a little reluctant to make such a public announcement as here on the blog. This pregnancy seems more private somehow, but in light of the above events and considering that word is certainly getting around, it seems appropriate to write about it here. I'm sure I'll have much more to say on the subject as time goes on.
I could go on and on, but Dan has taken Bea to the farm so I will take advantage of a little solo time!
