Silas' Homebirth Video...Finally!

-
Okay so I know my cutie is already 8 months old... Lets just say- procrastination could seriously be my middle name. Oh well. Better late than never! I finished sorting through 4+ hours of footage from our home birth last October and narrowed it down to a 9 minute video. I'm proud of the video and even more proud of the work I put in giving birth to my amazing little man, Silas. He's the joy of my life & that was my greatest fulfillment. Giving birth truly gives you a high that you want to experience over and over again. Hard to understand until you've done it!

Here it is! Enjoy!:)

Unassisted Waterbirth of Bridgette

My fourth and final baby has arrived! This is the story of how she came earthside.  I became pregnant in May 2019 and was due February 11, 2020. My dating sonogram gave me a due date of 2/14/20 and knowing I go a few days past 40, I told everyone that I should have a Valentines baby. This pregnancy, I focused on my nutrition by following the Brewer Pregnancy diet the best I could. I stayed busy and active with my other three kids, their school and sports, my youngest and his speech therapy and their special dietary needs while going to college myself and buying a new house in the middle of it. Our hope during this pregnancy was that I wouldn’t have the same cardiac issues I had during my last pregnancy in order to be able to have a home birth and luckily, that was the case! I dealt with more fear surrounding birth this time than any others though and had to work through them from early on. Even until the end, when after I had hit 40 weeks and had a full night of prodroma...

Hey y’all! I’ve been dreaming of traveling the US with my little family of 5 and decided I want to blog about it so I can always keep our experiences and photos together and share with my readers. I’m excited to start this new section of my blog! So I give you..... Travel Blog Post #1: Denver,CO   The main purpose of this trip is to visit Justin’s family up in Conifer, Co which is west of Denver. We left at 7:30 Thursday morning and the kids have done wonderfully! We haven’t had any meltdowns or complaining thus far and it’s been great. We took our first stop 2 hours in at Texline and grabbed a family photo while stretching our legs. Texline pit stop & the CO state line Oh, the magic of being a child! Their excitement when they saw the snow capped mountains was so precious and fun to see as a mama! We spent the week up the mountain at Justin's parents (AKA Peepaw and Elisi's). They got to feed the chickens and ponies every day and even got...

The Birth of Archie Watson

Twenty two days. It has been 22 days since my life has been flipped upside down by the arrival of the newest member of our family. He is a precious bundle of joy who's entrance to this world changed so much of my preconceived notions about what birth in a hospital looks like. But our journey started long before 22 days ago. You can read about my difficult pregnancy and transition out of midwifery care into medical care  here.  I felt from the very beginning of the pregnancy and all throughout that this baby was going to bring peace to me & our home, even when it was so challenging! The end of Archie's pregnancy was my hardest yet- the first of the three where I felt so DONE so early on. There were days where I cried to Justin and my best friend that I couldn't keep going. It was, hands down, the most difficult pregnancy I've had yet. And on top of it, I had no clue what to expect when it came to his birth.  I started having prodromal labor (a type of labor th...
