Catching up...

So it's pretty obvious that I've been away for quite awhile and it has been for good reason. On August 6th at 1:55 pm we welcomed our second child, a daughter, Makaela Wren into the world. We had a truly beautiful and peaceful home birth and I'm still on cloud nine!

Here are a few pictures from that day.

I'm still working on getting the birth story written up and I'll post it when it is completed. :)

Getting Connected

It has been very difficult to find the time to make phone calls, visit different groups, check out some of the local birth centers, etc. with Mr. W on my hands all day. But this week I finally got away on Tuesday evening and attended one of the few remaining Houston B.I.R.T.H. Fair preparation meetings. The 9th annual fair is scheduled for Saturday, October 2nd and will feature discussions on vaccines, pregnancy nutrition, breastfeeding, schooling choices, doulas, babywearing, waterbirth and more, and will be showing The Business of Being Born. In addition to the Fair, B.I.R.T.H. is also organizing four performances of the play Birth.

I'm so excited that we arrived in Houston in time for this, I can't tell you!!!! I'm already committed to volunteering at two of the four performances of Birth and I'll be working at the Greater Houston Doula Association's vendor booth at the Fair! Yeay, so much fun to come and I'm so excited to be meeting my new tribe in our new city!
