Still feeling pretty weak from the flu that may be turning into an upper respiratory infection based on the amount of coughing and congestion I am having. Ran easy again today 7:34 min/mile ave. One year ago today I was going on walks every few hours in an attempt to progress labor with my third baby. Around 2:00 p.m. I sent Abe and Breanne to their friends house and labor really started to pick up. I called my midwife and she arrived about an hour later. Aaron and I labored together in our bedroom and the midwife and her assistants came in to check on us every 20 minutes or so. Around 8:30 p.m. our sweet baby Ali joined our family! It was another peaceful, amazing homebirth and Ali was a healthy 8 lb 20 inch bundle of joy. Now she is a happy (most of the time), exploring, giggly, fun 1 year old! Happy Birthday sweet girl! |
