Labor.

Last night we went to a pre-labor ( that sounds funny, like we should be actively pushing now ) day cookout and for once, I did not have my camera. I could have used it. We saw a most gorgeous specimen of Motivational Housing if I needed one. Sure, the house we went to was most lovely, and she's installing all of her own mouldings and tiles a...

Are you in labor?
by
Kathryn H.
So the second question my friend's birth brought up is when are you in labor? My friend noted that she was a bit confused as to when her midwife wanted her to slow down labor and when she was supposed to follow her labor instinct, which included choosing positions that would speed up labor. So deciding when to slow down labor and when to let i...

Labor Day

I am going to go out now and pull weeds in my back yard. They are out of control. I haven't wanted to touch them, but for some reason, this morning I woke up and thought I could deal with it today. It is only 57 degrees outside, and I got some rest this weekend so I can handle a bit of hard labor (on Labor Day). My daughter and son left my h...

Signs of Labor
by

This was originally written on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 I've forgotten to mention in the past that many women notice faster growth with their hair and nails during pregnancy. For me, I can agree with the latter one--but as for the hair, I have the world's slowest growing hair so it doesn't surprise me that I haven't noticed an improvement wi...

Labor Day

Heidi and JS O.
For those of you in the US...today is Labor Day. A day off from "labor". I can only imagine what the people in the 1800's would be thinking about the things we now consider work compared to the hard labor so many endured back then. Labor Day usually means the end of summer. For those in traditional American society, it is a time to use the gr...

Labor Day

Here in the U.S. it's the Labor Day holiday. It has me pondering the fact that I haven't labored ( had a job ) in 2 1/2 years. Sure, I've done chores around the house and been a pretty good house-husband for the most part, but it's been odd not going to a job outside the home. The last job I had, before my mental health forced me into disabilit...

Ready for Labor
by
Christina Molin
We spent Easter Day unpacking some more boxes and looking at a hospital in Voitsberg. I really liked it and the delivery nurse was very nice (i.e. she said I could have the epidural if I wanted to). I wanted to sign the form that is necessary for the epidural, but it turns out that you do that on your visit in week 38… So I will have to w...

Labor Day

This whole weekend has been just gorgeous: sunny, mid-seventies. Unfortunately, I was indoors chained to this laptop for most of it. But this morning I ran the Miles for Smiles 5K, which goes through Cleveland Heights (one of the neighborhoods near the Clinic) and raises money for Operation Smile. I used to run road races a lot in college, bu...
