Mother's Day weekend has come to a close. It was a successful one for sure. Elliott's parents, brother, sister, and grandparents came to Austin for the day and fun was had by all.

I have been diving head first into my childbirth educator coursework. I am enjoying it and am starting to dip into the Austin birthing community. I have also been reading a few of Ina May Gaskin's books. Every opportunity I get to read them I do because I cannot seem to get enough on the subject of natural childbirth.

You can see Elliott in the beginning, middle and end.

I have not updated since I was 29 weeks pregnant. Obviously a lot has happened since. For one, I gave birth to Ani and we moved to Austin. Elliott was offered a job with a Drupal shop here in Austin about four days before my water broke. Oh yeah, maybe I should mention my birth story with Ani.

So now that I am almost 75% done with this pregnancy I figured it was time for an update. Is it sad that I had to go back and look at my last entry to figure out what's been said and what hasn't?

So it's been over five months since my last blog entry. A short improvement was followed by a long regression.

I updated in just over a month! It's an improvement :-)

I have returned with my head down. I am ashamed to even look at the last time I blogged on this website. As a busy stay-at-home mom (read: domestic Goddess) you are lucky to get this one out of me as I battle insomnia.
