Sweet times...

So... It's been a whole month since we put anything up here. Pretty pitiful! Can you believe that we've been very busy?! Anyway, sorry about the delay for those of you who regularly check this blog.


Things are going very well here! We continue to get more and more snow... It's hard to believe how much snow we got this winter. Hopefully spring is on its way. Sugaring season should begin pretty soon! We probably won't make quite as much as we originally hoped (with a baby and jobs and all...) but it will be a good one! This picture is from last year's sugaring.

For those of you who don't know, we found new midwives and are now planning a homebirth. We were feeling like things were just weren't quite right with our other midwives, plus we didn't love the birthing center. Too many things were out of our control. So we are VERY happy with our new midwives and our choice to be at home. You can check out this site on homebirth if you are interested in learning more: http://www.homebirth.org.uk/ It's a British site, but a great resource. This one is also pretty good but basic: http://parenting.ivillage.com/pregnancy/plabor/0,,6rl1,00.html

Only 3 weeks left to go now... We'll try to get at least one more belly picture up before the birth. In these next three weeks we are planning on continuing to clean the house, having a pre-birth celebration with friends and family, doing a belly cast, and just getting ourselves as ready as we can! Who knows, maybe the next time you check this, we will have news of the birth!!!

Take care,
Mish, Allan, and Wolfgang

Glad you guys are going the homebirth route. Sounds much better. Wish we could be there for the countdown. We'll be there in spirit though!

Love you guys

You guys are my personal heroes for doing a homebirth. You're so right and SO courageous! I'll be down on the islands for the next few weeks, so it looks like I won't get to see you till after the baby is born.

I wish you all the love and strength you'll need for this last stage. Congratulations again, you two are going to be the coolest parents ever!!! XO -Abbi
