Oh the catching up i have to do June 24, 2009

Filed under: Orthodoxy, breastfeeding, life — E V @ 2:58 pm

I’m sitting here taking a break from our vacation packing.  We leave tomorrow for the beach.

I’ve not posted in forever, and a lot has gone on.

I’ve attended some births as a doula — one being a VBAC!

Last Monday I landed myself in the ER and ended up having my gallbladder out — i had one gall stone the size of a golf ball… gross!

Bella is stil nursing although i feared she’d wean after the surgery.  She isn’t breastfeeding as much during the day as a result, and I’m OK with that.  I’m ready to get my cycles back (it’s been 2 years!!), and i’m a tad sad to know that we won’t find out we’re pregnant while on this vacation, like we did in FL with both Emmy and Bella’s pregnancy.

Anyway, I’m sure that there’s that has happened since then, but my break is over.  Maybe I’ll get to blog on vacation??

Oh – and today is the Feast of The Nativity of the Holy Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord, John.  I really wanted to make it to liturgy today and Bella breastfed forever and I fell back asleep and I missed it.  I’m pretty disappointed, but the Feast Day has been on my mind a lot today.  I love the story of John the Forerunner.  The announcement of his conception, Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the birth!  It’s all mind-blowing.  And you know me, i love a good birth story :-)

    Hi :)
    I found your blog by searching VBAC in KY. I am also from Ky and I am finding a VERY hard nearly impossible to find anyone to work with me, I have had 2 c-sections and I am newly pregnant with my third baby. I really want a natural delivery in the hospital this time around.

    Can you offer any advice? How can I find someone (Midwife or Dr.) who will deliver a VBA2C in the hospital? I have been searching online and calling but no luck so far. Any advice at all would be appreciated.
