I've seen you in a lot of the same communities that I participate in, and I find it really awesome how natural birth oriented you are. We share a lot of the same parenting/birth ideals, and I'm always looking for other women that see those things in the same light as I do. :)
If not, sorry to have bothered you. Either way, I hope you have the wonderful and empowering birth experience that you rightfully deserve!
I've seen your work on prego_drama. Which gets me belly laughing everytime...
anyways, your right about it being hard finding other people who are so passionate about the way they give birth and bring their child into this world. its nice when you do come across those types of people though.:)
I was skeptical about you for like 5 minutes (I think from an entry in prego_drama a long time ago), but as I got to see how you really are through your entries in the communities we share, you seem to be a really cool gal. I love getting to know other women that share similar ideals. It's refreshing to see other women turn towards the more non-traditional views as far as childbirth and parenting are concerned.
Oh God, I'm dying hahaha. Both my daughters have colic and it's impossible keeping up with their demands when they both want me ALL THE TIME. My husband works full time and is finishing his senior year of college, so I'm here by myself 80% of the time or so. Not fun. I don't know how people who have triplets or more do this, I'm going nuts.
How's breastfeeding going for you? I can help with minor problems; it seems we've hit at least 2/3 of the stupid beginner's problems one can have (being that there are two babies, I guess I can see how this happened haha).
I love my little girls - I just wish I were more the maternal type naturally. But I'm getting there :)
It sounds to me like you've done an amazing job so far. I only have one baby to think about, but you have two! My fiance is working full time and going to school full time as well. I hear ya on being overwhelmed by that. But he's been great with whatever he's here for.
Breastfeeding isnt going so great. During delivery my daughters cord snapped on she lost alot of blood, which led to her having to get her throat and not sucked dry by some tubes. So shes really have issues with anything in her mouth. I've been expressing colostrum by hand and giving it to her with my pinky, but I feel like its not enough. My midwife said her blood sugar levels are great and shes been having poopy and wet diapers so I guess its doing the job for now. My milk has yet to come in though...but its only day two. I've been pumping to get my milk to come in but no luck yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
