These Are The Days

Less than 10 days to go until my little torpedo baby (see photo below) is born!

I type this post (it will be a short one) with only one finger.

This pregnancy has affected the nerves in my hands and arms so much that I can't use the mouse, type on the keyboard, or even eat with a fork or spoon without feeling pain and my hands and arms going numb.

So my hands are pretty much useless these days.

And since my husband came home from deployment I've unplugged from the Internet and have loved it! I love the time we've been spending together as a family, and there's been no desire in me to leave my girls and husband to come to the Internet.

However, as my baby's due date approaches, I wanted to share with you some wonderful news!

For the last week of November I will have a new series on my blog, called The Newborn Series. Each day one of my favorite writers/bloggers will share a guest post on my blog about one of the five senses and how it relates to newborns.

I asked these amazing women to write for me as a way to create a welcoming environment in my mind for the birth of my baby, because all three of my babies have been in transverse lie positions (laying across my belly and not vertical nor in my pelvis) and therefore have required c-sections. A c-section occurs in a sterile, very cold room, so opposite of the kind of environment I always envisioned giving birth in.

So I am incredibly grateful for these women who have written some wonderful posts that revel in newborn senses and create a warm, welcoming birth in my mind for my daughter!

So stay tuned...
