I am here to tell you that parenting, once begun, never ever stops. You have a baby, then another, and another, and think to yourself that one day, maybe in twenty years or so, that you will have your life back and be able to just sit back and relax. But let me tell you...

So much of our life has just sorted it’s self out, regardless of our preferences and just as soon as we relinquished control over the situation. This story is no different. Nathan’s career was taking an unexpected turn and we became a family of three living off no work income. Self sufficiency was always a...

I have seen a whole slew of pumpkins having children on the social networks today. Kind of made me laugh and want to reshare. Here are a few of them: Via Lustik Via BlessedBirthDoulas Via www.extremepumpkins.com Via i am bored Want to see more pumpkin photos? How about newborn Everly in a pumpkin? View the...

Five days ago my labor started, actually it was more like six days ago but I didn’t have much real progress on that first day. Adalyn is now four days old and we are seeming to kind of already be in a nice groove. It is really odd and unexpected actually. We’ve been fully anticipating...

Baby Adalyn is finally here. Some of you may have witnessed her birth live here in the blog August 29th-30th. If you missed it recorded video of the birth is still to come (at the above link) as it requires some uploading effort and brain power that we’ve not mustered the energy for yet. We’ve...

It was a normal morning around here. Daddy and munchkin woke did their morning routine stuff, I was up shortly after. Had breakfast, touched base with family via video chat and went out on to the deck for a bit. All the sudden after just hours of being awake I cannot seem to keep my...

Expectations sure can lead to sabotage so I normally try to avoid speculating and getting set on one certain outcome or scenario in my head. With pregnancy and childbirth expectations sure run rampant. Well meaning people around you get excited about the big event and begin speculating about the sex of the baby, the baby’s...

Seriously, the last few weeks of pregnancy suck… Waiting sucks and when you are actually FEELING the changes leading up to labor it’s so damn annoying waiting and waiting. What makes the waiting even more annoying is the speculating about the serious what-ifs (by ourselves and others). As I write this Baby Sister is still...

We are officially 39 weeks pregnant with Baby Sister and are trying to patiently await her arrival. It is absolutely beautiful here at The Farm and very relaxing. After a sleepless night with the munchkin we managed to get her to sleep in her own room here at the house. She requested to be put...
