Books I'm reading

1) Creative Counterpart by Linda Dillow.

A super fantastic, solid, biblical, challenging but in the best way, practical, Spirit filled and helpful Christian women's marriage book. Got it for $3.99 at the Mitchell's Family books Clearance rack in Kingston right before we left. I was so angry that day and talking to God I got the idea to pop into Mitchell's (I never get into the Christian book store in Mississauga) and I was so blessed by all I got there- 2 GREAT books on the clearance rack, a Hillsong Kids Concert dvd that I'd been looking for, and that the boys LOVE and have quite a bit memorized, some great cards for the family.
2) The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.

Fascinating. Gross! Political, nutritional, conspiratorial, financial, environmental, gastronomical. Borrowed from my American English colleague.
3) The Bible. Just can't get enough!
4) Flavors of Korea. By Linda Coultripp-Davis. My AWESOME Korean Vegetarian recipe book.The best. (In english, of course).

Hi! I just discovered you had a blog too!! Paul and I just came home from a home birth info night....very interesting! We're super psyched to be having the baby at home. Love you lots...

We're psyched for you! That's a pretty strong committment to no epidural in this day and age!
But in my opinion, feeling good about your labour environment, like it was right for you, and you did what you wanted as much as you could, will stay with you a lot longer than any memory of the pain. Does that make sense?
I remember being so disappointed with the lack of support and process in Nathan's labour almost MORE strongly than I remember the pain, which was pretty awful when I think about it.
Of course, every birth/mom/baby is different and totally unpredictable!
