Avoiding an Unnecessary C-section In the State of Florida....

Is not the easiest thing to do.

These stats are completely scary and completely ridiculous. The two hospitals at which I could deliver are 42.7% and 40.6%... totally frightening.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lukie Lou!!!

Making Room for Baby

We're having a third baby and though I think we've given little thought to the changes this means for our daily life (we've been so busy), we did finally decide that we should get a new (to us) car. Originally we thought we'd just shove them all in the back of the accord, but that was before the door broke on it. We decided against putting 3 kids in the back of a sedan that only has one door, so after about a month's worth of research, we got this baby:

I LOVE it! I love, love love it! And so do the kids and hubby for that matter. I love the room, the 8th seat capacity, the fact that I can now participate in car pools! It's great! I also love that we will be able to continue our road trip/ camping vacations without worrying about which kid has to ride on the roof. :)

36 Weeks!

Is that a beached whale?!!! Oh, no, it's only mom...at 36 weeks ;)

Hiking in Florida

It's different than California :) And though I'm partial to the mountains and rugged terrain of the west, it certainly has it's own beauty.
