A Monumental Occasion

For me birth is like a wedding; a grand event, an emotional production, a monumental occasion worth celebrating. 
I am tedious when it comes to planning out details for parties and gatherings. I can’t help myself, and believe it or not the birth of my children fall into that catagory for me. Besides my own scrupulous check lists, I am notorious for creating packets for family members that include phone numbers, birth plans, directions, schedules etc. I am not a pregzilla though, really I am not! I believe in the statement blessed are the flexible, for they will not be bent out of shape. Natural childbirth is probably the epitome of unpredictability and that is one of things that I find alluring about it, while at the same time doing everything I possibly can to be prepared.
Since I tend to have inconsistent contractions and fast labors I have planned for J and I to head toward the hospital when contractions are a whopping 10 minutes apart. From there I have a list of ideas for killing time and keeping my mind off of things. 
This shouldn’t be too difficult since I’ve had almost 9 months to fall in love with the city of Lexington which is where the birth will be taking place. In fact in preparing hotel information, hospital coordinates, and places to eat or entertain children during the labor, I got a little carried away and went ahead and made a brochure. Yes an actual brochure that I titled “The Busch’s Guide to Lexington”. 

 It was fun for me to do and we all got a few good laughs out of it. It’s really practical too though, everyone in the family can know what’s happening where and how far it is from the hospital. 
So you’ve peeked inside my hospital bag, you’ve had glimpses of my birth plans, and as much as at all looks like it is coming together I guess we just have to wait and see what how all of this unfolds. As long as I come home with a healthy little baby then I will feel like this mission was a success.

My Overstuffed Hospital Bag

Packing my hospital bag has been one of the more intimidating aspects of having a hospital birth. I know I am overpacking, but I don’t want to forget anything at the house which is over an hour away.
Early on in the pregnancy I found this little blog post on pinterest about what not to bring to the hospital. She goes through and talks about all of the things she should have just left at home. So I can take the advice of this blog post and many other moms who would encourage me to pack light, or I can be bull headed and bring all but the kitchen sink. Since I am nine months pregnant, and as stubborn as my two year old, I am going to go ahead and share with you the top ten unneccessary items I plan on taking to the hospital with us
  1. my swimsuit
I know it’s not a beaches resort I am going to, but I will hopefully get a room with a labor tub, and I would feel much more relaxed if I am not in the buff. I even read a tip online for the husband to bring his suit too in case wifey needs her labor partner as a support in the shower. So we have our bathing suits packed and ready.
  1. my lamp
My midwife is very encouraging of whatever kind of lighting and ambiance we prefer to have to feel the most comfortable. J and I mutually decided to bring a lamp that we got as a wedding gift. We’ve had it with us since day one of our marraige so I think it will be comforting. 
  1. emergency delivery kit
Given that I tend to have lickity split deliveries and we are a risky ways away from the hospital I have printed out instructions for an emergency delivery and I am bringing trash bags and towels. I pray that these items will not be needed. 
  1. my computer
For both of my other child births I spent an exstensive amount of time hand picking hundreds of songs for labor and photos to be looping as a slideshow on my laptop. This tradition continues. 
  1. my tree

The most bulky unnecessary item I plan to bring is this little inspirational tree that I made. It was somewhat inspired by a pinterest thing I saw. There is so much significance to this tree I won’t even go into all of it, but I am in love with this comforting item from home. 

  1. underwear
I understand that bras may not fit, and depends (or the mesh hospital panties I have heard so much about) are the way to go after child birth. I have been there done that and know it all too well, but I still can’t even fathom not having at least a couple pairs of undies packed up just in case. 
  1. photo of kids
Even with the digital slideshow I can’t think of anything more comforting and calming than a framed photo of my precious little ones that WILL NOT be joining us for the occasion.
  1. gifts from baby brother
I read about this idea online and thought it would help the kiddos to feel appreciated and bonded. They will be receiving a present from their new brother. I want it to be something to encourage the idea that their brother loves them already. 
  1. blanket
This was an insider tip from a girl I know that delivered at the same hospital. Everyone says bring your own pillow, but she actually said her husband froze to death and brought a blanket the next time they had a baby. 
  1. Digital SLR kit
I am sure we could get sufficient pictures with a point and shoot, but I have asked my sister in law if she could take pictures with my camera equipment. This will be my first time not having a birth photographer capture the moment, but documenting the birth on ‘film’ is very important to me and so the equipment is coming! 

These are not all of the items coming, but like I said before, probably the most unnecessary. We’ll see how I feel about hauling it all into the different rooms when the time comes. Or should I say we’ll see how J feels?

Oh Boy!

I am posting two blog entries back to back because a lot has happened since I wrote that happy little post about all of my plans and predictions. While in Lexington for our baby moon I also had a scheduled prenatal appointment because I am very practical in that way. That is when I found out our baby boy is head down and ready to go, and by ready to go I mean my midwife doesn’t expect me to get through this weekend.

For those that are not interest in labor details, I think you’ve heard enough. For every one else I am 70% effaced, at a zero station, and right about 4 cm dilated! In other words I am about half way through the whole process already. Granted, I have not had any major braxton hicks and some women can be where I am at still not go into labor for weeks, but it’s not common. 
I am excited and nervous all at the same time. As I was sitting on the examination table in shock I said ‘I  hope I can make it to October. I already have a September birthday boy’. The odd things that come to my mind. Speaking of big brother, maybe Z was on to something when he did a chalk drawing yesterday of the baby head down in my belly. 

I don’t know where my arms and hair are!?
I am hoping to make it to this Monday for several reasons (the bathroom renovation upstairs is one, the October thing is another), but of course we are not going to be disappointed regardless of when he decides to make his entrance. 
 
I am glad I got my 9 month photo last night.
Well, I may feel unprepared, but regardless I look forward to this joyous occasion. We’ve got room for ya buddy and looking forward to seeing your precious face.

Guess the Baby Stats

I am less than two weeks away from my due date! I’ve said this before, but both of my kids were due on the 9th (of different months) and born on the 4th just shy of 1:00 am. So if I follow suit, this baby could be here in about a week! Both of my children were also similar weight and height. That’s why I am going to GUESS this baby will be

born- October 5th at 2:00 am
weighing- 8.10 pounds
measuring- 21 inches

I am just throwing that out there. Feel free to give your own guesses!

It’s funny how the majority of the pregnancy I have been giving myself a guilt trip for being so distracted with other things. I guess I am making up for it now because ALL I can think about is getting ready for the new arrival (and chewing ice, which I know means I am probably anemic, but anyway…). This has felt like the quickest pregnancy ever and I can’t believe the big day could be any day now!

I try to make it a tradition to get out and have some fun at the end of each pregnancy. So, the past week has been spent celebrating and enjoying quality time with the people I love.

Saturday was my baby shower which was really special. I had such a great time just hanging out with all the other women that I hardly ever get to talk to and I felt very loved.

 The theme was Little Prince. The diaper castle and castle cake were AMAZING!

 Above: Friends from church Below: My cousin, mom, nephew, and sister in laws.

Tuesday was shopping and pedicures with my mom. We spent the whole day trying to prepare and pamper at the same time. It was a success!

I am currently on my baby moon with J which has been so wonderful. My favorite part is just getting to rest. I took several naps and went to bed early last night. I’ll be dreaming about that child free temperupedic hotel bed for months to come.

I don’t have many pics yet, but here are our coffees at our favorite little hang out place in Lexington.

Now that I am feeling refreshed I am ready to get back to business. This next (potentially last) week of pregnancy I plan on using every ounce of my time and energy to get all the final details ready for this little guy. Here we go!

Baby On The Way

I’ve been anxious to share about these two simple children’s books that have really come in handy over the past month and the funny thing is I wasn’t even seeking them out.

The first one was available for free to take from the hospital when SJ had her sedated testing. It’s called My Own Prayers, by Larry Carney and it has simple little prayers for things like going to school, getting lost, or being scared of the dark. We brought it to the Doctor with us last time Z and SJ had to get shots because Z insisted he wanted to read the “Prayer for Getting a Shot” and we did. It was helpful for SJ too since we have the language barrier where neither of us really know the signs that would apply to this situation I was able to show her the picture and point to her and mommy and the doctor and I think it helped explain what was happening. I do have to mention one prayer in the book that kind of funny to me. It shouldn’t be, because it’s a very serious topic and I think it’s good that it was addressed, but the prayer is for “When My Parents Argue” and it goes like this:

The other book is one that I came across at a thrift store for 69 cents and I LOVE it! I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but it has been a blessing in our lives and we read it again last night per Z’s request. First of all it is a children’s book by the Sears family and if you know who Dr. Sear’s is you know his natural approach to child birth and parenting is right up my alley. It’s called Baby On The Way, and it’s  kind of like a candid, age appropriate version of “What to Expect When You Are Expecting” for children. It’s really helped Z to understand more about what is happening. He saw this picture and was surprised to find that the baby inside is naked! It’s pretty cool, but the thing that really elated me about this little book is that the pictures are fun and descriptive. It is a way, once again, for me to be able to communicate with my daughter what is going on. In the back of my mind I had been worried about SJ. When she was born Z understood what was going on. He would talk about the baby in my tummy and that he was going to be a big brother. Here we are again, it’s SJ turn and she is the same age Z was, but how do I really get her to understand. There is no time to teach all the signs that go along with pregnancy and child birth and I don’t want her to be any more blindsided than she has to be when we have a new baby and my stomach isn’t huge anymore. Well, the pictures in this book are an answer to my prayers. They go through everything from mommy feeling sick, to mommy going to the hospital, and mommy breast feeding. It even shows the newborn baby with the umbilical cord clamp. When I first read it to the kids there is one picture where you see the mommy’s belly while she is at the Doctor and SJ pulled up my shirt pointed to the picture and then pointed to my tummy. You can probably envision my heart leaping in that moment She gets it! She understands! She does this every time we get to that page, probably because she got such a great reaction the first time. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child that is about have a sibling.

Speaking of which, we are getting geared up for baby #3. I am 37 weeks tomorrow and if I follow the previous patterns we are about 2 weeks away from delivery. Ahhhh! There is still a ton left to do, but having 2 children already I do realize that the baby doesn’t need much. No matter what we do or don’t get accomplished on my to do list at this point we are going to be okay. I have a baby shower on Saturday, a baby moon with J next week, and my mom and I are going to get a pedicure and go shopping one of these days. So there are lots of exciting things underway. I will definitely keep every one posted if there is any news to announce.

Nesting My Heart Out

In the back of my mind I had this lengthy list of things to address or accomplish before our baby boy arrives. It has stayed back there behind the other lengthy list of things going on. So last month I basically had to sit down and pencil in “START NESTING” on my calendar. Since then I’ve made a tangible to do list and I’ve been able to check things off little by little and I finally feel like we’ve got some momentum.
J hauled all of the baby related stuff that was in storage back to the house. When we moved 7 months ago I packed away everything “baby” thinking we wouldn’t need it, but then… surprise!
I wrote up my first hospital birth plan, and I filled out all of the paper work that was given to me by the hospital. This whole hospital experience is so different because I am having to address issues like not wanting an episiotomy, pitocin, forceps, or a newborn Hep B vaccine. These were non issues at my other births. The cool thing is though, my Kentucky midwife and I have discussed all of this and we are on the same page with my birth philosophy and ideals.
While I am on the topic of earthy mama philosophies I might as well bring up circumcision. Finalizing our circumcision plans was actually another thing on my list. We knew that unlike many “crunchy” alternative medicine parents we would choose to circumcise, however we really wanted it to be after the 8th day and without the vitamin K shot. With Z we actually had the procedure done by a Mohel, and we wanted to continue in that tradition, but being a gentile in new city finding a Rabbi that wants to work with us has been a bit of a challenge (I do realize how weird this is all sounding right now). In the end we are going to go ahead and have our midwife do it. She is very experienced medical professional and has been extremely informative in exactly what will take place so we feel comfortable going this route.
On a less awkward note we registered this weekend. That’s always fun. I love getting freebies just for signing up.
 We already got a present with cute little booties and bibs. I am full term TOMORROW which just seems crazy to me. This is all finally sinking in. Even though realistically there is probably about a month left before he will be here I could go into labor at any moment. The baby is done cooking and ready for a healthy delivery. That’s exciting stuff! It’s also a little scary since there are still plenty of other things left on my to do list, but I’m sure it will all fall into place and probably just in the nick of time.

I took my 8 month photo at the very end of August. It wasn’t convenient. It was more like ‘okay, if I don’t do this RIGHT NOW I will not have an 8 month picture.’ All parties involved, photographer (J) and subject (me), were in grouchy moods. Anyway, there is my big o’ belly.

Building a Language

My first response before I even knew the degree of SJ’s hearing loss was to learn American Sign Language and teach it to her. I never thought it would be be easy, but my original expectations might have been a little unrealistic.

I was already familiar with baby sign language. I figured that if babies can learn to sign before they can talk then this sign language thing should be a breeze, especially for SJ because she’s brilliant! Come to find out it’s not that simple and it has to do with what I wrote about last week in “the Science of Language”. You acquire your first language by being immersed in it and it all happens easily and naturally. It’s called first language acquisition.

Babies hear MILLIONS of words before they ever say their first! They are observing, listening and mentally taking it all in for the first year or so. It’s a critical time developmentally. A deaf baby born in a deaf family is going through the same process except with a manual language. These children are typically raised in deaf culture so they see sign language happening all around them through their parents, teachers, and communities. One of SJ’s therapist says a child needs to see a sign around 100 times before it sticks. I thought I would simply show SJ some signs and teach her how to talk, but I am up against her natural urge of language acquisition which is to imitate, and for the past 2 and a half years she hasn’t seen any proof that the world around her communicates through sign language. Even now, I try to sign quite a bit, but we are still no where near the amount of oral words she would be hearing if she could. I’m not sure if I am making sense, but this whole first language acquisition thing was a recent epiphany for me. I just never thought about it that way.

Realizing your child is at square one trapped in world without language is a tough pill to swallow. It’s different than realizing that they can’t hear, it’s like Okay. Wow, we have a lot of lost time to make up. I explain it to people using Z as an example. Z started watching signing time and learning ASL along with us just a few months ago. As a 4 year old he quickly picked up around 100 words with minimal effort. I can ask Z What is the sign for share? and he’ll show me. The difference between him and SJ (besides that Z is 2 1/2 years older) is that Z already has a language. He knows what share means and has been learning about this word for years, now he is just attaching a sign to it. Just because SJ is deaf it doesn’t mean she is naturally more inclined to pick up sign language, it’s going to be harder for her because of the lack of immersion that I mentioned earlier. Anyway, that was my light bulb moment last month, but taking all this into consideration she is doing awesome. Sometimes I take for granted how much she does communicate with us through ASL. I need to document more of those precious first words that we are seeing from her.

On another note, we got the test results back yesterday and praise the Lord SJ’s brain and ear anatomy looks great. This means the hearing loss is not caused by any shocking unforeseen damage or malformations. That is really good news and now we can move forward with getting a cochlear implant, which is another big ol’ topic that I need to write about sometime. Just another curve on this windy hilly journey that we are on. There are ups and downs, pit stops, and speed bumps, but I am trying to take in all the beautiful scenery along the way and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

4 Year Old Funnies

Someone very special has a birthday tomorrow! That same someone fell off a jumper toy that he is way too big for and somehow managed to get 3 stitches in his ear yesterday.
He keeps us on our toes that is for sure. I am going to miss him being 4. In honor of this milestone I have tried to think of 10 of my favorite funny Z moments from the past year.
1. Z asked me to play a song while we were driving. I said sure and I started to sing while I searched for the track on the ipod. Z interrupted my musical outburst by saying “Mommmm, I wanted the car to sing it”. 
2. The last time Z had to get new glasses J took him and it was a huge fiasco. The eye wear place messed everything up and finally J and Z went out to get some food while waiting for the new frames. J called me to vent and Z of course was tuned in to everything he was saying. When they were back in the store to pick up the glasses Z shouted out “Dad, what are we doing here? I thought you said we would NEVER come back to this place again?”
3. Just recently Z’s preschool teacher informed me that at rest time Z says “I really don’t like to lay here with this music, it’s stressful for me.
4. We stopped by a coffee shop after Z had gotten a shot and therefor had on a bandaid. He was concerned when he saw this sign and said”Oh no, they don’t allow any bandaids here!”

5. Having dealt with my fair share of nausea this pregnancy, Z has caught on to the routine. When he heard that I felt like throwing up he eagerly retrieved a “puke bucket” for me. I took this photo later so I could remember what he brought me. 

6. The “What to Expect” app on my phone keeps track of how big the baby inside of me has grown by comparing it to produce. This entire pregnancy Z has wanted to know what “fruit” the baby is.  For the longest time he was a head of lettuce and Z constantly asked me when he wasn’t going to be a lettuce anymore. I didn’t know if there would be any future updates so finally I said “I don’t know if it’s going to change. It might just stay on lettuce.” In all sincerity he broke down, “Oh man! I thought my brother was going to turn into a human!” We have since cleared up the confusion and he is aware that the baby is not literally a fruit or vegetable. 

7. J asked me if I had gotten a hold of so and so and I said “not yet, we’ve been playing phone tag”. Z overheard this and bursts into the room dying to play phone tag with us. 

8. While in the waiting room for my prenatal appointment the nurse wanted to go ahead and get my blood drawn since I had already had my glucose drink. Her exact words were, “You can come on back, I am going to go ahead and draw you now.” Z heard this and you could tell his wheels were spinning as he said “She is going to draw my mom? That’s interesting.”
9. “J and I were getting a rental car and my parents watched the kids. Z inquired about where we were and my mom answered “they are picking up a car”. Z’s response, “They can pick up a car? That’s pretty strong.”
10.  Looking at a map that had a symbol for no wheel chair access Z announces that the sign says no one is allowed to go potty here.

PS- In that last photo of Z he is on a dock looking down at the fish. Every time he bent over you would see Woody from Toy Story peeking over staring at you. That was before Z owned a belt.

The Science of LANGUAGE

Despite the typos and sloppy grammar you may find on this blog I always excelled at Language Arts in school, but that had to do with writing. I never even considered delving into linguistics. I had a hard enough time getting through my second year of Spanish. However, now having a daughter that is deaf and therefor cannot speak, I am learning all kinds of fascinating facts about language. I’m learning about the intricate art and science of language, and how every one of us communicating in whatever form we learned naturally, is an absolute miracle!

I watched a National Geographic documentary earlier this year called The Science of Babies before I knew of SJ’s hearing loss. It touched on the fact that babies are born being able to produce and hear all sounds alike. An American newborn is processing Chinese just as well they are English, but since they will hear English the most they will start to perceive it as their native language very early on. Eventually they will learn to understand English and speak English and have an accent. Understanding and putting together all of these different speech sounds is called phonological development. The English language has about 44 phonemes, out the potential 150 phonemes used in languages throughout the world.

The thing that I am discovering in my most recent research of hearing/language and our amazing minds is that you have to “use it or loose it”. As an infant you had the potential to roll your R’s along with the best mariachi singer in Mexico, but there are many people whose language doesn’t include this sound and therefore they can’t roll their R’s at all (my husband is one of those people). Did you know that most Germans can’t pronounce squirrel? It all has to do with something called phonemic awareness. Our pastor was preaching from the book of Judges chapter 12 recently. He described when the Ephraimites where trying to escape over the Jordan after battle. The Gileadites had secured the river fords to try and stop them. For every soldier trying to cross they would ask them to say the Shibboleth, because they knew the Ephraimites wouldn’t be able to pronounce it. The Ephraimites  would then say Sibboleth and were therefor exposed as refugees trying to escape. There you have it. Even way back in the Old Testament, you can find a perfect example of how our brains naturally use and dismiss certain phenomes according to our dialect as we develop language.

If you don’t use it, you loose it. All of this information is not only intriguing, but it is also very important to me because of SJ’s hearing loss. SJ can hear vowels and so that is what she identifies as language. Her brain is currently wiring her to determine what she should “use” and everything else she will “loose”. She is at a very critical age where we either decide that oral communication is not important for her, or we can try to take advantage of  the modern technology that will enable her to hear speech before it’s basically too late. We are currently making use of hearing aids, but they can only amplify sound and with her profound loss this isn’t really enough. That is why, by recommendation of her doctors and therapists, we are pursuing the cochlear implant. It’s not the same as perfect natural hearing, but it will create sound rather than just amplify it and allow her to hear and communicate orally.

One of the articles I was given in regards to “Why Early Audition Is Important” (that was the name of the article) talks about how we process sound and why the ages of 0-5 are so critical. Reading it enlightened me to a whole new level of understanding something that I’ve always just taken for granted and that is the development of our natural senses and how they all works. I am going to quote a lot of what I read from this article published in Volta Voices in June 2011because if I paraphrase too much it will probably not be as informative.

 “The human brain has a genetic predisposition to want to make sense of the world. This condition of forcing neurons to compete with each other to be selected for “hard wiring” is a necessary biological action that allows the individual to develop the skills necessary to be successful in his or her environment”. Being able to say squirrel is not essential to Germans being successful in their environment, but for Americans it’s part of our language, on the other hand I don’t even want to know what I would sound like trying to speak German or an African clicking language. Moving on, “A fully developed brain has over 100 trillion connections (pruned down from the quadrillions of connections in the 2-year old brain), and there are only 80,000 genes. We use our genes for lots of thing (like neurogenesis and migration) There just aren’t enough for synaptogenesis too. Children during the first two years of life create an overabundance of synaptic connections, which continues until around age 8 as they learn new skills and behaviors. These connections are forced to compete for survival and are either pruned away or cemented based on the amount of electrical activity that occurs at that connection.” WOW! Okay, so as much as I like to talk about  neural pathways and all, let me tell you how I translate this. If your brain is a honey comb and it has 100 worker bees they all have to find a job to do fast. They will find work somewhere, but if there is no work in one place then they will move on and take their business elsewhere. That is why it really is true that blind people have heightened senses in other areas, and yes deaf people do tend to have better peripheral vision and sense of vibration etc. All of this pruning and cementing that is going on happens early in life which is why it is so critical to get SJ the resources that she needs as soon as possible. Even though it is a time sensitive issue it’s also good to know that she is well within the right age range for all of this. We can be confident that it is not too late for her to start stimulating that auditory nerve and we are working toward that pretty much every single day.

I am not an expert in all of this, but I love reading and trying to understand as much as possible. To me it puts a whole new spin on education and foreign language. Some of the resources that I have read came from an online article about how children learn language, which prompted me to learn more about  phonological development on good old Wikipedia, and of course I already referenced some of the other articles that I read and I’ve included the links for those as well. There is more to all of this and how it directly applies to SJ and her communication abilities, but basically that is the brainy science side of things. In short, use it or lose it!

2012 Garden Timeline

We still have some okra and bell pepper plants that have yet to become full grown, but the majority of our garden this year has reached the end of the road. This was our first Kentucky garden and I have to give great big kudos to my husband for all the work that he did. It’s been 4 months of tilling, digging, planting, weeding, and harvesting and we have had plenty of produce to show for it. Here is our 2012 Kentucky garden timeline.
