So what is the plan with all this unplanedness?

What a year, I am actually amazed I survived, then again its not over yet ....

Pregnancy is so hard and it sucks! Now add a 3 year old who wants to rule the house and a very dependent almost 1 year old and you've got yourself a madhouse. 

They wake up at 5 am with an energy level of a kizilion, always hungry. The one talks non stop while the other rolls down the tiolet paper, which he can now reach.

There is toys and food everywhere, thank God for a maid every second day since my huge belly makes it a little hard to bend down at the moment.

By 8 am before daddy is even awake Mister has to sleep again. And apparently there is nothing more satisfying than asking your mom 10 000 questions the more she tells you to please be quiet.

Finally asleep the Madam is hungry AGAIN!! And oh we can be so very specific about what we want. 

So now I have maybe an hour, Madam gets to watch one dvd. Do I take a bath or shower, do I get dressed, do I make myself breakfast or maybe just go lie down again?

So the day goes on with my ever so busy Mister and Madam until finally at 7 pm we go to bed. I'd rather skip ahead most of the day as no words can describe the chaos that happens here.

Through the night they make turns to wake me up, the one wants milk the other water. Then there is a mosquito or they are hot or some wet the bed.

 Just as I think I can go to sleep my mind starts going in a thousand directions. What will happen when there is three? Where exactly on this bed will number three fit?

What happens when labor starts? What if they need me or want me? Will I be rocking one baby to sleep while the other is crowning? Will I be making a sandwich with a baby still attached to the placenta?

My poor crazy baby brain!!! I have no plan what so ever, and basically winging it every second of the day. Yet I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe wish away this cold.

My chaos is my sanity and I love it. Most days I loose it, and things are so far from perfect. But this is my life and I won't change a thing.  Hell yes you can call me crazy, I am so crazy I am not even offended by it.

Can't wait for my baby girl to surprise me and create just a little more chaos in my life!!!

The birth of Ciane Jacob (Rewrite)

The birth of Ciane Jacob 29 November 2012 Our unplanned unassisted birth I got married in 2011 and after attending two prenatal classes with my husband we both knew we wanted a homebirth. We found a midwife who was willing to assist us at home. Hired a birth pool. Got all the necessities.... Now this birth has a big back story ... My amazing mom, my rock, my hero's birthday is on 30 November. And since she turned 60 that year we planned a huge party with all her friends, and family and this party would take place on the morning of the 29th as it was the date that suited most people. Morning of 28 November. I some serious discharge going on down there, but we don't panic because we have a scheduled appointment at the midwife later that morning. She obviously also noticed the discharge and said it could be one of two things. Either I have a serious infection and need antibiotics or I am in labour. We said 100% no internal exams, that stuff freaks me out, it...

Breast feeding is natural not normal

In our life time there are so many different parenting styles.   We all do what we think is right, or what others pressure us to do.   What might be ‘normal’ to me, can sound strange to you.   For me it is normal for my children to sleep in bed with me.   For you it might be normal to keep the bed restricted to mommy and daddy.   For me it is normal to do baby led weaning, for you it is normal to give baby cereal at 4 months because the clinic sister said so. The statement I would like to make today is that breast feeding has nothing to do with what you think is normal or not.   It should be seen as a natural step following birth.   I think allot of mothers are afraid of being labeled or pushed under a certain parenting style and then choose to not breast feed.   SA’s breastfeeding statistics are shocking.   And because only 1 in 3 women really can’t breast feed we are obviously looking at a bigger problem.   Information and sup...

The birth of Carmin Callisa (rewrite)

Carmin Callisa 19 December 2013 Unplanned planned assisted birth at home The first time I wrote this story wasn't very good. I think I was a little too negative to an overall positive birthing experience. Both my other births went smooth and quick in their own way. And I was about to experience something totally different than what I expected. Ciane (baby nr 2) was 4 months old, exclusively breastfed, when we found out I was pregnant. I have to share this we were away for the weekend with my parents and my oldest daughter, then 3 told my mother she is going to have a baby sister named Callisa. We all laughed and joked until I started getting sick on the Monday .. like morning sickness sick. So I had a three year old and a basically newborn, needless to say my pregnancy was a little more stressed and busy as apposed to the 9 months I basically spent in bed with the others. We decided we are going to have an unassisted home birth. We know the drill. Until w...
