My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

Cedar's Orthopedic Journey!

Throughout my pregnancy, I had a TON of ultrasounds and 2 MRIs.  There have been MANY pictures taken of Cedar prior to her arrival.  Throughout all of these, doctors and ultrasound techs assured me that Cedar did not have clubfeet.  Many kids with spina bifida are also born with clubfeet--just one of those things.  I was relieved to find out that she did NOT have clubfeet, since that would just be one more thing to deal with. At these ultrasounds, many doctors also mentioned that she was in breech position (the entire pregnancy), and often commented on how her feet were up by her head, like she was folded in half.  We all laughed at her flexibility and moved on.  Regarding her breech position, doctors would often say, "Well luckily you are having a c-section, so we don't have to worry that she is breech!"  That is all anyone said. When Cedar was born, we were quite shocked when we saw her feet.  As you read in his account of Cedar's birth, Da...

A Blog About Love

I just wanted to spread the word about the cutest blog my friend turned me on to.  It's called "A Blog About Love." The husband and wife who write it were both previously divorced and they use the blog to share what they've learned about dealing with divorce, infertility, and most of all...how to create a happy marriage.  They also offer online classes! If you want to read the blog, they have a button titled "Start at the Beginning."  They only started the blog last year so it's easy to catch up and follow their love story.   I really like the blog because it comes from two people who have seen what does NOT work in a marriage and they have both used their difficult circumstances to make their lives better. How cute are they? Anyway, I really admire what they're doing.  The blog is a great daily marriage pick-me-up.  It gives me hope and reminds of of essentials needed to stay happy.  Check it out and let me know what you think! ...
