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...

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...

The birth of Cara-Mia Kriel (rewrite)

Cara-Mia 15 Februarie 2010 Planned water birth, at birth centre, midwife assisted Valentines day ... the day of relationships, marriages, couples and all thing lovey dovey. My baby could not choose this day as her birth date ... her mom is SINGLE. She didn't chose that day, she waited until 02;00 am on the 15th. When you are pregnant and you wake up in a wet bed you can assume one of two things, baby got hold of your bladder and you peed the bed or your water broke. My water broke. Woke mom, grabbed the bags and headed to the Linkwood birth centre in Edenvale. A small piece of back story I was 37 weeks pregnant when I decided on a birthing place and a midwife. I wrote a two page birthing plan ... you can get really bored in those last few weeks of pregnancy. So it was straight to the birth pool for me. I made fun of birth and contractions until I puked in the bin and almost broke the bath gripping through the pain of an actual contraction. But it wasn't that ba...
