Here's a new blog I'm excited to follow:

Mom of six Tammy plans to blog the pregnancy and birth of her new little one expected in December. She started the blog on April 10th and only has a few entries up so far, so you can still start reading her journey from the beginning. She and her husband are planning a home waterbirth in Guatemala.

When I saw this poem I knew I had to share it with all the pregnant mamas out there. Click through to this post by one of my favorite bloggers: http://balancingeverything.com/2009/01/08/waiting/

I am a Christian, wife to Norm and mother to three: Glen (5), Tasha (3), and an unknown little one due in July. It was an honor to be asked to work with Corrrine and the other ladies in the Pinkpeas family. I believe Pinkpeas is just the right home for some of my many interests. We are a homebirthing/waterbirthing family. I am a La Leche League Leader. I started and continue to run Vegaroos, the only babywearing group in Las Vegas. I am interested in natural family planning (NFP) and am working on becoming an NFP instructor.

Our daughter Isabela was born September 14, 2004. Isabela was born in the hospital. We had the best hospital birth experience one could pray to have and we will never do it again God willing! I like to say that we really just paid to rent the room at the hospital, they left us alone for the most part which is exactly what we wanted. For that money we could have had her at the Four Seasons!

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.
