AmyontheFarm Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My humble apologies for not being present the past few days to keep this thread going. In my defense, I was doing my job as a homeschooling mother. Prepping for High school. After 1 whole stupid week, I am finally done a Geography course. Every time I was interrupted I wanted to play this video. I awoke this morning after 2 weeks of melting snow and warm temps to discover snow on the ground. My dd summed up my thoughts exactly as she looked outside, saw the snow and promptly pulled her comforter over her head and announced she was hibernating until summer! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 When I'm pregnant my diet I consists of about 90% dairy products because that's all I could keep down. I gained nearly 40 pounds with my first pregnancy with milkshakes, yogurt, and eggnog as they were the most nutritious things I could think of. W This was me during my second pregnancy. Baby came out 8lb 10oz. Considering my csec baby was 6lb 10oz, and I'm only 4'11", I think vbacing this baby was quite a feat. Thankfully, I didn't have any u/s at the end of pregnancy or I might have said to heck with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarabellesmom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I need to make a confession, and it is a doozy. On Facebook, one of my friends posted something about Jesus with a representation of what he would look like (you know, because there are no photos), and I thought the image was very attractive. <hangs head> (This thread might be very useful for posting confessions. While we are at it, I also ate too much cake this week.) Ok, I can add to this... My daughter's dance company puts on a Nativity ballet every Christmas. The first year we attended, an adult Jesus made an appearance during one of the dances. My friend leaned over and said, "Wow, Jesus is HOT!" Oh my goodness. I laughed so hard that I got some really dirty looks. I'd post a photo (because I do have some) but it seems dirty somehow. Jesus should NOT be objectified! And I confess, I frequently uses LOL. LOL. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarabellesmom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 While the risk is low for ruptured uterus during VBAC, I was the ruptured uterus. That said, I am so glad I got to experience at least some labor with my second child. It was a much more positive experience than my first birth. I wouldn't trade a moment, emergency c and all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarabellesmom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't know about v's because I never got one sadly, but I have been told that having a baby hurts no matter how you do it.... And I was going tho go natural on my vbac. Crazy, right? So my daughter's violin teacher quit the music store where she takes lessons tonight. He's willing to pursue private lessons with her because he thinks she's awesome, but my price just went up. $75 a month to $55 a lesson. Then there is the added question about how ethical it is to take your students with you when you leave the music store. I can afford the increased price and we love love love... Love the teacher. Please discuss and return a decision. This is a nonserious thread with a serious question, so a simple answer of go or no go will suffice.

zarabellesmom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 No go. (unless you can't find someone better at the store - but try the store first. Actually, the current violin teacher is friends with the new violin teacher at the store. Her current teacher offered to attend a session with the new teacher and Annabelle to get everyone up to speed. Here is the other issue...the pay for the violin teacher, I believe, is unfairly low at the studio. Also, the studio gets paid even if the student doesn't show up for the class. The violin teacher, on the other hand, does not. He makes $9 a lesson only if the student shows up and sits without pay if the student doesn't appear. I think that is...Bologna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Did you have c sections? Yes. We almost lost John and I didn't want to put Mary through any risk. John never got past my cervix because he was so big. I was in labor for 3 days and pushed for 4 1/2 hours. Mary was a planned C-Section. After she was so small I considered a VBAC if it's small, but I have this irrational fear that it'll ruin teA for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I do wonder how much of it was his size though. I went into labor with Miss Mooies and I didn't want to go to the hospital because I wouldn't have called it "painful". My husband insisted that we go because my contractions (that didn't hurt) were every 2 minutes. I was 6 1/2 CM! I still wonder if she would have been born at home if not for him.
