I have been using my wordpress blog for the majority of my blogging but I am considering changing because wordpress does not allow for advertisements, google firend connect, and some other money making opportunities.  Just wondering if anyone has an opinion about what format they prefer.  Comments welcome! Thanks!  http://www.princesspipersmama.wordpress.com/

Thank you Amber for being so brave and being the first to share your story! My name is Amber, and I gave birth to my first son on 7/25/10.   3:28am Sunday July 25th, 2010     I awoke from a solid sleep, at first confused and disoriented. I began to roll over and slide out of bed when I felt the tightness and dull ache in my belly. There was no mistaking it, after weeks

Here is a little about our pregnancy and childbirth, and what forms our opinions of a natural birth. While this may seem "extreme" to some, it is what came natural to us: Prior to even getting pregnant, we realized an issue with Robyn's thyroid. Knowing that could become an issue when we decided to start a family, we had it confirmed by Bridget Houston, and began to strengthen her hormone systems

Below you will find a very interesting article about the cycle of induction and fast-tracked birthing.  I kept thinking about my own experience when I was reading this and it is so very real.  I was very uncomfortable at home and my contractions were almost always 5 minutes apart with some varying.  I had to travel 30 minutes to the hospital in my case and I was told to make sure I

Okay, first I have to say that I have used the Wii about 2 times total up until yesterday when I tried the Wii Fit.  I borrowed it from my sister last spring and it has sat in the box ever since.  I was feeling guilty and wanted to try it since my sister wanted to sell it when I borrowed it.  When I started out, I felt totally unprepared.  I had my husband set it up because

           I love love love this carrier.  When I was looking for a sturdy baby carrier I asked a bunch of my friends at playgroup and did a lot of research.  I ended up purchasing the original ergo baby carrier in black.           This has been a lifesaver! or should I say "back"

I am very excited about a new endeaver that I am working on and I thought I would share a little bit with everyone.  I am actually hoping for some feedback and insight from anyone interested in helping us with this project. My sister-in-law and I have been talking about how there are very limited resources for expecting parents in Northern Michigan as far as birthing options go.
