two pink lines=we're having a baby.
Hello blog world!
I present myself to you as I embark on the most wonderful of adventures--having a child.
This is not meant to be another "crafty mom" blog, but if it turns into one, so be it. I do teach Handwork at Alabama Waldorf School, after all, and spend many of my waking hours making things. That is, when I am not suffering under the throes of first trimester sickness.
My husband Alan and I are super thrilled to be having our first child in May. We told our families this weekend and it's been fun to feed on their excitement about their first grandchild as well. Although now that the news is out, advice is flooding in from all corners, so now I need to put up my filters to receive the advice that is helpful, and let the other advice just float on by.
We kept the news to ourselves for several weeks, so we could make sure everything was okay and we could enjoy it as our little secret. But then as I started to feel ill, it became almost a burden to *not* share the news, especially with my co-workers.
I've been busy reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth (highly recommended), Spiritual Midwifery, Birthing From Within, and Bountiful Beautiful Blissful, and watching the Business of Being Born. All of these are great resources for women considering natural childbirth.
So I'm trying this new blogger venue for my musings about baby, music, yoga, handwork, and life in Alabama, and hopefully I'll be back soon!
