Themed Weekend: Pregnancy, Birth, & Babies

December 19, 2009 By Stephanie 20 Comments

I Wonder: Do women ever stop thinking about birth once they have experienced it?

I gave birth to my firstborn in 2006 and my second in 2009 – and both experiences have shaped me, defined me…in so many ways.

Almost every day, I think back to those days – remembering the excitement, the pain, the fear, the trust, and then…the overwhelming love, the magic of seeing a baby’s face for the very first time – MY baby. It’s really indescribable on so many levels. I feel at a loss for words even now because all of the adjectives that I want to use (magnificent, amazing, life-changing) don’t seem powerful enough.

This weekend, I return to those topics – the miracle of pregnancy, the beauty of birth, and the breathtaking sleeplessness of those early days. Won’t you join me for candid conversations, product reviews, giveaways, and more?

P.S. Here’s a little SHOUT-OUT to my pregnant readers + friends (Congratulations!): Kristen, Caryn, Arianne, Gabrielle, Beth, Jessica, Carrington, Autumn, Minette, Rhonda, and Danielle.

— AND to my friends with teeny tiny babes in the house (Congratulations to you too!): Emily, Lisa, Becca, and Betsy (my little sister).

YOUR TURN: Did I forget to mention you in my list? {I’m so sorry if I did!} Are you pregnant or do you have a bitty baby in the house?

Isn’t it nice when something exceeds your expectations? That’s how Cincinnati was for us.   We pulled into the Winton Woods Campground and were immediately impressed. The well-manicured campground is part of the larger Winton Woods county park, which includes wide biking/walking trails, several playgrounds, a lake for fishing & boating, AND a splash park […]
