Look, Ma, No Hands!

      1 Comment on Look, Ma, No Hands!

Okay, well, one hand to pull down the Moby so you can see my precious babies.

We are almost 7 weeks into this crazy parenting journey, and I’m still trying to figure out how to fit blogging into my day with two completely dependent infants on my hands. (Apparently this is where the “amateur” part comes in.)

Here’s the Reader’s Digest version:

The babies were born 12/22/11 at 36 weeks and 3 days after induction due to pre-eclampsia. Emmett (right) was born vaginally with no pain meds at 10:49 pm weighing 6 lbs, 6 oz. Miles (left) was born via emergency C-section at 11:22 pm weighing 4 lbs, 13 oz. We came home from the hospital on 12/26/11. Hilarity ensued.

We’re starting to find a rhythm and get our feet back under us, so more details will follow. Coming up:

  • More about pre-eclampsia
  • My exciting birth story
  • Why natural childbirth was right for me
  • Why we decided not to circumcise the babies
  • Adventures in early breastfeeding
  • All about sleep deprivation
  • Placental encapsulation and you
  • And much, much more!

    I love blogging =) I had no idea you had a site. Right now I use Xanga and my blog isn’t open to the public (so it’s more a diary, I suppose, lol.) but I still love doing it. I have so many memories recorded from Lillian’s baby days, pregnancy, etc. Heck, I have memories from way pre-baby like house hunting and planning our wedding and whatnot. I love reading the things I wrote years ago.
