If my posts have seemed a little light and infrequent it's because I have embarked on a new journey! After almost 6 years of marriage, I am finally pregnant and will be expecting our first child in November! So this Mother's Day has new meaning for me as I reflect on my childhood and what kind of mother I will be. I have started a new blog called LotusHaus Mama which will be a light documentation of my thoughts and finds related to my journey through pregnancy, natural childbirth and into motherhood! Check it out if you are interested. In the meantime, you can also check out some past baby related posts here at LotusHaus. Thanks so much for joining me in this journey!

Happy Mother's Day!
I read this today and am so happy for you and excited to hear about your natural childbirth. My sister delivered at Valley last September and out of 16 babies born that day, hers was the only one that came "naturally." My husband and I decided that day to use a midwife when the time comes for us.
Enjoy your day!!

I feel sorry for your friends having to throw you a baby shower though. They have BIG shoes to fill. : )
Much love and health and happiness,
