Cohen Heine's birth

Our unassisted home birth ... Babe nr 4

Just when you think you want to give up like you just can't anymore, then there is light.

I prayed and prayed and prayed and He heard me. He made me wait 40 weeks but He made sure it was perfect.

During the night before I couldn't sleep at all, I was so restless and uncomfortable. Just my luck we had all three the other kids in bed that night. And on my ten millionth trip to the toilet I returned to every one rolled over and no space for me. I ended up on the single bed by Carmin's feet 😄

I was overjoyed when the sun came up and I could just focus on something else besides trying to sleep.

We had a false alarm the week before so I didn't want to say anything to any one. I just casually mentioned to my mom that my back hurts allot and maybe we should just get things ready.

Being blessed Heine was home as it was Freedom day. He spent the morning with the kids and every one was calm.

At about 11:00 I started getting some real contractions, to work through them I kneeled next to the bed. My mom sat with me and Cara-Mia was in and out of the room. 

I spent the whole time on my knees and by 13:00 I was super tired. I told my mom I am going to take a nap. In that time Heine thought he could quickly go to the shop. A huge contraction woke me at about 13:10, my mom joked and said come lets have this baby now. As I got up my water broke, next contraction the head came out. 

In that brief moment when you think you are dying your body scrapes together just a little more energy ...

Next contraction baby was out. Born into grandmas arms. Luckily my little midwife Cara-Mia was there to just hand us the towels. 

I tried phoning Heine while my mom was handing Cohen to me. He arrived 5 mins later. 

Heine cut the cord and when I had energy again I birthed the placenta. 

Everything was so perfect

His brothers and sisters are all so inlove with him, Ciane just wants to breast feed him lol

We are truly blessed with the four most amazing children

Baby almost on the way ...

Now time is really flying! Only a few more weeks then we meet our baby girl. Getting a little nervous because baby is lying posterior, but like some one said its just another form of normal. But from what I read I really hope baby turns. With all that is going on complications is the last thing I need. Me and hubby discussed her name again, he wanted us to switch the two names so she is Callisa Carmin, luckily that day her baby bag arrived, which already had the name Carmin on. Mommy wins yay!

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 aga

Can't imagine doing anything else

I get that being a stay at home mom is not for everyone.   But for me it is my life’s fulfillment.   I can’t imagine myself doing or being anything else than a mom. I don’t miss working at all.   I get up in the morning and it excites me to know I’ll be spending my whole day with my children.   And let me tell you two small people can keep you very busy.   It’s not like I sit around and do nothing all day.   I play with them and stimulate their brains.   We go places and see things. We sure do have our lazy pajama days. But that is ok because we can do it together.   I’m so blessed to have a successful husband who supports us.   And who also supports me being at home.   We made the decision together and we know it is what’s best for us. Do family and friends always understand it? No not at all. But we love it and we are confident in our decision. My children mean everything to me, and in the end they are only my responsibility.   I can’t imagine giving my special gif
