Clever girl

I can't believe there is only about ten weeks left until our baby girl comes. Being this nervous and exited at the same time is very confusing.

My 3 year old very wisely and confidently asked me a favor today. That when I birth her little sister I must please do so sitting down, cause she didn't have a very good view when I birthed her brother on my knees. And she wants to make sure all babies come out head first and is up side down when inside a mommy.

Hmmm think she knows way too much about birth. She is so smart and such a special girl.

Ciane is also growing up way too fast. My baby will soon be the big brother!

I am so very blessed to be in such a wonderful place and time in my life. Yes I have my off days but I know that this is where I belong.

The birth of my babies

I have two amazing birth stories to share.   Both natural and unmedicated.   My stories make me proud, not only to be a mother but to be a woman.   It was Valentine’s Day 2010; I was 39 weeks pregnant with my first. I spend the whole day hoping this won't be a silly cliché love baby (I was single at the time).   So baby waited until 2am on the 15th. I woke up thinking I wet the bed, but as I got up and the water kept flowing, I knew it was time.   I grabbed my bags, woke my mother, and off we went.   We got to the birth centre about 02:30; the midwife checked me and decided I needed to get into the birth pool immediately.   Then the contractions started.   At first they weren't that bad, and I joked about them.   But they grew more intense, none the less I handled the pain very good.   By 5am I was so tired and just wanted to sleep.   I got into bed and immediately fell asleep.   By 7am I woke up in allot of pain, ...

Awesome news

. God wants to use me to help other woman and children, and I am reporting for duty. I feel so blessed and know God has a huge plan for us. At first I was shocked now I am over joyed!!! I am about 5 weeks pregnant with my third baby.  Every child is a huge gift from God.  I feel so honored to be given this huge responsibility.  I make so many mistakes every day but I know that He will always pick me up and put me back on track. I did not mention God in any of my previous posts, I thought i would keep religion out of it and just speak in general.  But I was wrong to do so, cause whithout his mercy I am nothing and I'm capable of nothing. My God is an awesome God and I need to speak up.

Ietsie afrikaans - My eie borsvoed journey

As iemand anders terug kyk op my lewe sou hulle seker se dat borsvoed die obvious keuse vir my was.   My ma is al amper 30 jaar n La Leche League leidster, en het al vier haar dogters geborsvoed tot ons self gespeen het. Ek het gedrink tot ek amper vyf was since na my nog n sussie gekom het met wie ek my lekker melkies moes deel.   Ons het groot geword tussen borsvoed mammas en daar was niks so cool soos om saam te gaan na n LLL meeting die eerste Woensdag van elke maand nie. In 2010 op die ouderdom van 20 het ek as enkel mamma geboorte gegee aan n pragtige baba dogtertjie Cara-Mia.   En since my ma vir my n Womanly art of breast feeding as persent gegee het by my baby shower, het dinge sommer dadelik baie goed gegaan.   Daar was moeilike dae en rowwe dae.   Huilende en laggende dae. Maar ek het my borsvoed journey baie geniet.   Mense vra so baie hoekom ek borsvoed en hoekom ek so lank aan gehou het.   Aan die begin was my antwoord altyd, omdat...
