So, it seems as if I post just once or twice per season. I havent made a post since the spring, so I think it is due time.

I survived my first semester as a graduate student assistant for the Music Therapy Department. I cant describe the stress that was involved in all of that, nor do I desire to, for fear of becoming stressed by proxy. The free ( Read more... )

Well, I know of two people who can give you some idea about how painful it is from another two points of view. They just had babies a few weeks ago, and one said that her second pregnancy was harder than her first, so that's something to think about.

Wow, Sheeder pregnant. That'll be cool. I need to see you sometime! It's been forever and ever, and that's silly because I only live like 45 minutes from you. So yeah, we should plan a day to meet up and catch up....

You know, Stephanie and I were planning a ketchup(lol, get it) day. So, it is only fair that I plan a ketchup day for you, too! This would all be easier if I had a car of my own. When I get back from the store, I will facebook you my schedule. Then we can compare and pick out hang times.

Pregnancy can be very very good- or it can be awful. I was in the middle. There are medicines for morning sickness.

Babies are very very good- mine is 4 months old.

Oh yeah- epidurals are awesome.

Two pregnancies. No morning sickness. No pain meds. AND I'M STILL HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT!!! Haha.

Going natural really is a mind game. The pain gets unbearable at transition, but by that point, you've reached the shortest part of labor. Knowing that is empowering and allows you to keep going.

But then again...lots of pain management options and no reason not to use them if you want to. :-)
