The Natural Mommy

Who is The Natural Mommy?

I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.

I believe in breastfeeding, natural childbirthing, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting.

Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.

Meet-and-Greet

We had company this weekend! Meet Ashley from twentysixcats:

We had fun taking pictures with our fancy schmancy d-slr’s:

They could only stay a short while, though, and then it was off to the pumpkin patch! We love our pumpkin patches. They hold a special place in our hearts.

Where is this Great Pumpkin…?

Olivia had just woken up and was in a bit of a sulky I-don’t-want-to-look-at-the-camera mood.

And then home to carve it:

Next, scoop out the slimy innards.

It’s up to Daddy to handle the sharp objects, though:

Or not.

WHO TAUGHT HIM THAT?

Finished pumpkin:

For the full effect:

And what visit to the pumpkin patch would be complete without one of these:

(If you don’t understand the significance of that remark, go back and read this post.)

Right. Thanks for reminding me Joanna. Mr. Linky as follows:

This is such a tradition, Beth, it’s kind of spooky- the pumpkin-patch-then-pregnancy-test day you guys have every other year. See my previous congratulations.

I’ll have my Meet & Greet up later today, including pictures of your children and visitors. Might want to add a Mr Linky

Oh, congratulations! That is such exciting news. I was thinking of you this weekend.

By the way, I wish my pregnancy test had said “Pregnant” instead of having a little + on it. Maybe my husband would have figured out what was going on faster! Oh well, it was a first. By the time we’re on number 3, he’ll know what pluses and double lines mean!

God bless! Enjoy your pumpkins!

As you nonchalantly show a picture of a pregnancy test…
I thought it was a joke. Haha. Can you tell I’m new to reading your blog?
Congratulations!
Great pictures, too.

Congratulations ) Three will be alot different from 2, but actually much easier. You’ll already know how to do everything!
