Some questions we've been asked
Why do you want a natural birth // this has been a pretty common question I have been asked recently after people find out that I am planning on not having an epidural. I guess the biggest reason for me is my belief that God made our bodies to be able to endure the pain of child birth and women have been doing this for a very long time. The amount of endorphin's and adrenaline that women feel during and after a natural birth is supposed to be one of the most amazing feelings and I would love to experience that. Like I have mentioned before, I would love to have a water birth, and that is not something that can be done if you have an epidural.
However, I have one goal in mind, at the end of this pregnancy I pray that our family of three will go home together. That is the most important thing to me, so if that means I need an epidural or an emergency c-section for any reason then that will be fine. The health of Solomon and my safety is all I care about at the end of the day. I will trust my midwives and doula throughout this process.
I also want to point out that birth is an amazing thing and I know things will end up the way God planned, but the way we can plan for what we want is such a privilege. I know that a natural, epidural free, birth is not for everyone and that is perfectly fine. I do not pass judgement on anyone else's decision, this is just the decision that I have made for my birth.
Where did the name Solomon come from // Peter's middle name is the arabic version of Solomon and he has said for a very long time that he wanted to name our first son Solomon, because of his middle name. I've always loved the name and I can't imagine our first boy not being named Solomon after all the conversations we have had about it. I can't wait to meet him.
We have also been asked if we will call him Solomon or give him a nickname. We might call him "Saul" around the house but for every day purposes and for school in the future he will go by Solomon.

How is the nursery coming along now? So close!
It's still in the planning process right now!! I have to pick the paint and finish buying the furniture but we are hoping to have it complete by August so we can have that last month to relax and wait! :)
You are adorable!
THANK YOU!!! :)
I think that's awesome you want to do a natural birth. I really admire women like you. But i also like that you are open to whatever is needed to be done for a safe labor. That's how I feel. I don't care how he comes as long as he's healthy and I survive!
Thank you for your sweet comment!! :) Healthy is the key!
I completely agree. I want to do a natural birth, but whatever is needed to get Baby Bum here safely is fine by me!
yes, safety is first!!! I'm so excited to see how my labor and delivery works out!
