I am already looking for an excuse to use them.

Exhausting Concern

McKenna, Amelia, and myself have all had some sort of health issue this week with ourselves or our children. Ace has had a mild fever for almost three days. We have an appointment to see a doctor in the morning. I was trying to ride it out, but just when it seems it is getting better her fever comes back up.

Ace is my first child. She has never been this sick. It is certainly a new experience caring for a sick person who can not care for themself. I think this is the first time that I have really worried about her health. I am sure I will have much more to worry about in the future. But I am going to have to get better at it, all of this worrying and concern is exhausting.

Welcome Our New Contributing Author, Amelia!

I would like to welcome our new contributing author to The Mom Crowd, Amelia! I have known Amelia for nine years. I attended her going away party six months ago to say good-bye and to get birthing advice. Two weeks later I appreciated that advice during my labor and delivery. I seriously don’t think that my labor would have went as well as it did without the few tips she gave me. After my delivery, Amelia was also a big encouragement to me while Ace and I learned how to breastfeed. I am forever grateful for her support.

I am excited about what Amelia is bringing to The Mom Crowd. She enjoys knowing how the body works, she isn’t afraid to talk about anything, and loves to help people look at things from a different perspective.

About Amelia:

I am the mother of three boys: Ewan, Isaac, and Graham. When I was pregnant with Ewan, I became interested in natural childbirth. We took classes from an independent teacher who taught The Bradley Method and had a fabulous unmedicated hospital birth. 14 months after Ewan was born we had Isaac, who was born 6 weeks early and spent 2 weeks in the NICU. He was also born naturally in the hospital. That was a difficult time for our family and we learned a lot about premature babies. I spent the first 6 months of Isaac’s life struggling with postpartum depression and learning how to be a mom of two children so close together. I still had a passion for birth and decided to become a childbirth educator. I went through the affiliation process and am a certified Bradley Instructor. In September of 2007 I gave birth to my third son, Graham. He was born at a birth center and surprised us by weighing almost 12 pounds! While birth has been easy for me, breastfeeding hasn’t. I love breastfeeding but have had different issues with each baby. I am very empathetic to women who try to nurse their babies and have difficulties. I have been a stay at home mom for a little over 4 years. Before being a stay at home mom, which seems like a lifetime ago, I did full time ministry to college students for 5 years.
