I can’t believe I’m already writing my birth story, that my baby is actually here, but she is! All 6 lbs 3 oz of her! My guess date was December 13th, but because of having Intrahepatic Cholastasis of Pregnancy (ICP), I knew I was going to be induced at least 2 weeks before that date, […]


So this is it! Today we went in for me to be induced, and we started with the folley catheter. Laura, my doula, was there with Jeff and me, and she coach me through it with hypnosis relaxation. I’m thrilled to say that it didn’t hurt near as much as it did when it was […]
Jeff and Juli came back Sunday afternoon, and I was so excited to see them. Maga has been another girl since they’ve been back; she’s a lot more cooperative and happy. So I think her anti-daddy thing was her way of expressing her anger at not going with them. Julian thinks he’s a big boy […]

We have everything ready for her, and I’ve been practicing my Hypnobabies religiously. I’m very confident that it will work and that we’ll have a great experience with it.
