my advice for newly pregnant mamas? SLEEP. sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep. anytime you can? sleep. b/c baby is born..and there is no more sleep.
also, YOU AND ERIC SHOULD GO ON LITTLE TRIPS TOGETHER. just you two. b/c also..that's another thing that's v. hard to do once little bb gets here.

and also...DON'T SAY YOU WILL OR WON'T DO ______ when you're a mom/in labor/pregnant. b/c you most certainly will. like when ppl are like I'LL NEVER LET ME KID WATCH THAT. OR EAT THAT. or..I'LL NEVER BE ONE OF THOSE MOMS WHO ___. b/c dude..before you know it..you'll be beating yr kid w/a shoe in walmart.

srsly.

ILU, KELLY.
little mama.
AND BB TALK W/YOU.

i LOVE the idea of taking trips. we'll have to do that.

i love that you want to give homebirth a shot! my mom did it w/all four of us so i'm a big supporter of it. also! my lovely cousin hannah is pregnant w/her second baby and is due in may, and she's having a homebirth, too. i know she's had to jump through all kinds of hoops to be able to do it b/c of the illegality of homebirth in illinois, so if you ever have any questions i can hook y'all up!

but more importantly, congratulations!! i'm so excited for you. and praying for you!
love love love.

illegality?PLEASE FILL ME IN. I've seriously just started reading up/ researching this; so, I don't know anything about it. I have a friend who has gone through it and she has a midwife that she recommended, but she hasn't said anything about it being ILLEGAL!!!!!!!

which, btw, WOULD BE RIDICULOUS.

thank you for all the prayers. xoxo

[lambs_ear]

it IS completely ridiculous, but it is illegal! i think this website is probably pretty informative but if you just google search "homebirth in illinois" you'll find a ton of stuff.

it'll take a bit of searching but there are midwives out there who are willing to break the law! my cousin hannah found a midwife in champaign who does most of the amish births in the area. go for it, k.

One word of advice: breastfeed. I know that this info is a little premature, but thats the only word of advice I can give you. Anything you want to know about breastmilk I can tell you....thats what I am studying!!! ;)
