Girl where have You been?

I know its been a while and to be honest with you I gave up on blogging.. I mean quiet, alone time in this house is very rare and I didnt really see a point in using it to sit down and blog when there are tons of other more "productive " things i should be doing . Until my husband reminded me that writing is a gift of mine and something that i love to do and by blogging i get to write and improve on my skills and not to mention it makes me happy .. so im back at it :)

Update ; Mimi is 27 months old and is thriving in everything from learning ABC and 123s to learning to share and love people,but we are working really hard on discipline methods and potty training is coming soon..again (looking forward to it, but not looking forward to it)

Big Boy is is 9 months old and is so much fun! He loves to laugh, smile, dance and clap his little hands. I can honestly say that this little boy truly has my heart <3

As for me, being a SAHM of two definitely has had its ups and downs. There have been days I have wanted to throw in the rag and call it quits, but  that's pretty much impossible,  and there are days where all i want to do is hangout around the house with my babies. I am still learning and am happy to know i always will be. All in all life around here has been quit an adventure with still a long journey ahead!

Natural Child birth research: 5 things iv learned

These 31 weeks that i have been pregnant so far i have been really been trying to prepare my mind and body to have this baby naturally. When i say Natural i mean 100% natural no pain meds, no interventions. With Mariah i was induced( because my water was broken for 24 hr and i still wasnt having contractions) and then after 7hrs of potocin i got the edpidural , but her birth story is a whole other blog that i will have to do.  We were not able to take a natural child birth class, but i have been doing my own research and i have learned ALOT just by reading books, reading and researching online, watching videos of natural births and learning about the womens body and what it is naturally made to do. The more i learn the more the fear goes away and the more confident i become in my body and what God created it to do.

Did You Know?

• Labor pains are actually a good pain! when we are in pain we automatically associate pain with something wrong or bad, but when we are in labor our body produces oxytocin which is a chemical that tells our uterus to contract or squeeze and this is where the pain comes from. When in pain you naturally get up and move around in order to cope or ease the pain and when we do this it moves the baby into place, further down and makes the process of labor quicker. Without pain you dont move around and labor takes longer.
• When you  tense up your muscles you are closing everything up which is the opposite of what your body needs to be doing during labor. You should relax as much as possible allowing your body to open up so the baby can come out
• Your baby can hear and feel (emotionally) whats going on during labor and delivery! so if your screaming, shouting and fear full your baby is also afraid and  could have a fear of being born, if your at peace and relaxed your baby will be too
• The worse postion to give bith is laying down on your back you want to be in an upright postion working with gravity
• Your body was made for this! Even if you dont feel confident or feel like you dont know how to have a baby your body knows just what to do... if your body can carry and nurture  your baby for 9 months it also knows how to get it out. All we have to do is work with our bodies instead of fighting agianst it, let it do what it needs to do

Learned so much more my mind is truely being renewed when is come to child birth yaay
 Happy Monday!
