Before the days of babies and backyard chickens I couldn’t fathom explaining things like where babies come from or that we eat animals for dinner. These discussions must be horribly crushing for children, right? “Yes, Sally. Our yummy bacon did come from Babe, so to speak. We eat pigs, cows, chickens, etc…” I think, for...

I look at you and see this amazing little person. You are not a baby anymore, not physically and not mentally. Your intuition is something else and I hope you never lose your drive to press ahead and to forge your own path. You’ve always seemed to have your own pace and time table for...

Nope, I am not joking. See what I mean-> Yuck! I got off easy based on some of the poop mess stories my mother told about me. Still, Everly sure has a knack for pooping at nap time, and when she wants to read books while she sits on the pot she opts for her...

I’ll admit it, as a family of four I am now getting my butt kicked with the laundry. It is not so much the cloth diaper laundry that is killer but just the shear volume of stuff to wash in a week. Sure the spit up outfits and bedding is a temporary contributing factor as...

It’s taken five weeks thanks to the crappy video editing program and the general demands of parenting a newborn but I am relived to say… The Live Streamed Birth Video Archive is Live You can view it here, in three parts… Initially I had just hoped to have the archived live stream footage saved immediately...

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...

Just a quick update for those that want to hear it straight from the “horse’s mouth”…  Actually, I pre wrote most of this so I wouldn’t need much brain power when the time came. Anyway, it seems the birthing time has come and we are so excited to meet our baby girl! I am in...

While pregnant with Everly I didn’t really have the luxury of time and energy to decorate the nursery like most pregnant women do. Being so fatigued and being that we were still unpacking from doing a new home purchase at 7 months pregnant the nursery was just thrown together. In all reality, newborns really shouldn’t...

I went to the chiropractor with Everly in tow this morning. I’ve been lucky to not be in dire need of frequent chiropractic adjustments over the course of this pregnancy like I did with Everly. I managed to go a whole additional trimester without chiropractic help this time around but as soon as the 3rd...

From non-hand-washing-penis-touching-guys to crazy monkey meltdowns and breaking & entering, yesterday was an interesting day. We set out to make our prenatal visit at The Farm and planned on making it a day long, turn around trip so we wouldn’t need to pay for lodging....
