I created this blog after giving birth to my daughter Hope in 2011. After having a miscarriage in July 2010, we were blessed with our healthy baby girl just over a year later. Since her birth I have become a mother passionate about raising her in the healthiest and most natural way possible. I am passionate about natural childbirth, exclusive breastfeeding, organic whole foods, natural cleaning, skin care and cloth diapering. Read along and follow our journey of raising Hope! :)

18 Weeks
So I hit 18 weeks on Thursday! :) i have been feeling the movement getting a little stronger but still waiting for it to get regular, but that wont be for another month or so. I had a check up at my OB office and heard baby's heartbeat which was 140 bpm. We also discussed the beginnings of a birth plan. I am getting pretty serious about a natural childbirth, No meds no epidural. Not because you get some award for this, I am just paranoid about risks and don't want to take any risks at all. It will be hard but its time to start preparing mentally now! I originally lost 9lbs in my first trimester but have gained 4 back since my last appt. So hopefully it will stay at this steady rate :) As for a bump everyone wants pictures but its just not very obvious yet.When I "pop" out then a picture will come up :)
