Thread: Ashley's (EmbieW) Lodge!

I went full time over the summer, but I'm down to part time now. I'm doing 8 credits, and it's so much better than last semester. My degree program is so structured, I really couldn't take the semester off even if I wanted to. But I love going to school - I think I would be too bored at home (although more napping would definitely be appreciated at this point) I'm glad to see another student around here - how old are you?

It's great that you are young and know what you want so early.

We're planning a homebirth, and I couldn't be more excited. Everybody thinks it's crazy that I'm excited for labor - I just think the experience is going to be incredible, I really can't wait!!!!

I am 25, but turn 26 next month. I too am going part time, I could not afford to take time off either since my masters is already taking me a long time. I am glad that you are excited about the birth, i think that is the way it should be.

Welcome to your lodge!!

Welcome, I'm looking forward to following your journey!

Welcome to your lodge! Since I'm due the first week of Dec, I've been stalking the Oct board for awhile, so I feel like I already know you a little, lol!
Congrats and can't wait to hear more in the next few weeks.

I thought I would post a few pics so you can get an idea of the face (and belly) behind the computer!

Here's the first belly shot we took at 8 weeks


And the latest, at 36 weeks...quite the difference!


Here is a pic of my DH and I on our honeymoon last summer - we went to the Bahamas.


And here I am this past Sunday at the Steelers game - I LOVE the Steelers, and the game was a blast - even though they lost. - I left this one big so you could see my painted belly

What a doll you are! And look at that perfect baby belly!

.

You do have the perfect belly! And it definitely sounds like Korben is moving into position. (Hiccups that you feel in your anus are really an unusual feeling too.)
