I did it for YEARS and loved it - even through the bumps, bruises, and fractures. It can definitely be a sport that's hard on your body, but very rewarding all the same!!<br />And that baby - just beautiful! I'm one of those that has short natural labors, it seems...not always the most fun! They can be VERY intense!!Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377289961750150406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-54658326028023821352010-12-16T12:06:25.333-05:002010-12-16T12:06:25.333-05:00So sorry, Katy.

Sorry to hear about the injuries and sickness, hope everybody recovers.<br />I've found that the key to having fun with the holidays is planning fun stuff but not being so attached to the plans that I'm devastated when they don't happen. Kids just make things so unpredictable.<br /><br />And I just want to tell you how much I love reading your blog. It's so happy, creative and spiritual.
