Why cloth diapers? Ever since I declared my intention to use cloth diapers, I regularly get asked: “why in heaven’s name do you want to use cloth diapers?!” and the comment: “I couldn’t do it, all those dirty cloths covered in poop.” Denny said the same thing in the beginning, and since we had an …
The nursery, with the perfect rocking chair! Denny and I have always said that we wouldn’t have a nursery. We didn’t mean that the baby wouldn’t have a room, but we both agreed that it wasn’t necessary to buy a full set of nursery furniture for a lot of money. We didn’t want a ‘display …

Babynames Did you immediately have a name for your baby? For a boy or a girl? One of Denny’s good friends, Egon, mentioned a girl’s name last summer which both really liked straight away. Ever since then we used the name jokingly to refer to our (then non-existent) baby. I had two other girl names, …

What does it involve, why, how and where? 🙂 So in this blog I’ll explain a bit more, and show you some more amazing photos by Linda Hemmes Photography (who you can follow on Facebook here) AND there’s a competition in which you …
The anomaly scan (20 week scan) During my midwifery training we did learn about sonograms, but not how to do them. That’s a whole other training. When I see scan pictures it’s always of clients’ babies, or during a birth, to see the position of the baby (and in that case you don’t see much, …
