I'm Back

Have you ever wildly overestimated the amount of things you can get done in a day?
I have been doing that. Every day. For a few weeks. Hmmmm...
We went to Minneapolis last Thursday and stayed through the weekend so Fred could do a letterpress training at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts (a very cool org, by the way). I made a list longer than my arm of various things to do and places to go for 5 and I and somehow thought that I would fit a blog post in there. That was kind of ridiculous.
We did have a lovely time though. 5 and I may have gone a bit overboard fabric shopping- Ikea + Crafty Planet + Joann's (with coupons AND a big sale) = really a lot of fabric that simply HAD to come home with us...
I didn't take a single picture all weekend either. Huh. I think perhaps I needed a break.

At this time last year, I was in labor with my sweet sweet nearly 1 year old babe. I'm nearly done revisiting day 1 of the 3 day marathon of birth. This is the day I remember almost fondly- most of it was spent at home, and all of it was filled with the hope and determination of someone who knows that labor doesn't take more than 24 hours...
Perhaps I will write up 5's birth story for an anniversary post. Any objections? I never want to offend anyone, but I usually love to read other women's birth stories now that I have one of my own.

i am totally interested in your birth story. while i am not now, and expect never to be a mom, I am fascinated by birth stories from people i know. I don't really seek out those stories from strangers, but that's cause i don't care about them, not cause it's offensive. however, you know i don't offend easy so i might not be the best watermark...
regardless, lets hear it! all i know is that it took too effing long, i want the details!

Write it now while you remember. It might take too long for you to re-tell the story every year on his birthday like we do for you and Ariel...........

Yes. It would be interesting to hear your take on it now a year later and seriously I will be impressed if you can recall much, I have always had a hard time remembering anything about my own births unless I wrote it down within a week of the event(in my case nursing hormones=bigtime lalahead). If you need help recollecting give me a ring, i've got notes;) It was one of my favorite and definitely longest births attended ever..... you were amazing lady.
