My Birthing Tub

Eve & Esther exploring the birthing tub. My midwife dropped it off the other day, along with other birthing supplies. It's a 150 gallon Rubbermaid tub. Very spacious for our whole family to chill in.

Don't you worry, mom. Before the baby comes we will wash it. It will be covered with a brand new plastic birthing liner, so it will be completely sanitized.

Every time I walk by this tub I can't help but get sooooooo excited!

If we had at least a 5 foot Lava wall surrounding the backyard and no one lived in the basement I would totally want to birth outside underneath these trees. I just think it would be so relaxing staring up at the sky, watching clouds pass by, the brightness of sun, seeing the trees sway with the wind & listening to the birds chirp. Doesn't that sound dreamy?

Taylors said...: girl, you are brave!!! I'm super excited to hear about your birthing story once it happens though. I'm always intrigued hearing calm, serene birthing stories. Are you planning on having anyone else in the tub with you?; October 4, 2010 at 6:16 PM

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
