My husband got home from his first graveyard shift a couple of hours ago.  He worked from 2:30 yesterday afternoon until 6:30 this morning.  I am so thankful to be married to this man!  As some of you may know my part time job with WIC was cut last week, I was immediately concerned about what we would do to make up this income.  Though small, my income was needed for our family.  I went to craigslist to start looking for something I could do and still be with my children.  I was informed of the cut Monday.  On Tuesday my husband told me "you don't nee

I am a Christian, wife to Norm and mother to four: Glen (5), Tasha (3), Jamie, and baby Lorelai. It was an honor to be asked to work with Corrrine and the other ladies in the Pinkpeas family.

So, here is Liliana's birth story as written by my amazing wonderful midwife Corrine, I love hearing it from your perspective! I will preface it by saying this was our first homebirth, our amazing daughter Isabela was born naturally in the hospital. My husband will say that the most powerful aspect of our homebirth as compared with our hospital birth was how empowered we were as parents.

Today is the 12th birthday of my first baby. My husband, Frank and I were 20 years old when she was born. He was in the Air Force and we lived at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. All of our family was back home in San Diego, Ca. So, we were on our own to experience this new adventure of becoming parents.
