Jan. 8, 2008 - "Life" update from Heather Idoni of HomeschoolingBOYS.com


I tried to make a New Year's resolution to actually blog regularly -- so it's about time I started again!  :-)

The big news from the Idoni home is that we are expecting a baby girl around Valentine's Day.  Woohoo!  Our 5 boys are now ages 7 to 17.5 -- this will be a BIG change in our home.

We have a name picked out -- it means "praise" in Hebrew and is the beginning of the word 'hallelujah'.  Her middle name is from the psalms and only God truly knows what it means. :-)

Hallel Selah

This is actually our first child to have a middle name.  Jim thinks middle names are frivolous.  HAHA.

More news:  We are planning to have our very first HOME BIRTH!!  :-)

I'm pretty excited, but the time is passing so quickly.  This has been the fastest pregnancy I've ever had since I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was almost 3 months along.  Time just goes faster when you are older and busy, too!

I'd love to hear from others who've had home births... and had a girl after many boys.  Please post your comments!

I have had one cesarean (I was manipulated into it) and then stayed away from hospitals for the next two births- homebirths. My husband was right by my side everywhere I went while laboring. He was great! I also had a midwife, which I recommend. My last preegnancy I was considered "high risk" because I was borderline gestational diabetic and 36 years old. Whatever.

You can do this. You will wish you'd had all of them at home.

A good book is "Labor Pain". Really practical.

Oh, cool!!

Good for you! Yes, I do have a great midwife -- she's over an hour away, but her assistant, a close friend, is only 15 minutes away. :-)

I am 43 years old... and we had a 7 year break so this is a huge wonderful surprise!

Thanks for your comment.

I found your blog using the random blogger button. :-) We have 5 boys too! But was not blessed with a little girl. We are content though. We had 3 of our 5 boys at home and actually #5 was suppose to be born at home but it didn't happen. :-( It was a great experience for us! I also delivered my sister's baby at home. No, I'm not a midwife but that is a long story. Let me know if you want more details about homebirth.

Blessings,
Tammy

I had two traditional hospital births (yuck), one at a birth center with a midwife (great experience), and the last - thanks to God's leading - was a home birth with a midwife (AWESOME!). I wish I had done them all that way! So much more relaxing and peaceful. Best wishes to you!!
