I originally started this blog in order to share my thoughts about everything. However, I apparently have fewer thoughts than I supposed so, it has turned into a basic journal of what our family is up to these days.

Raspberry Leaf Tea
Apparently raspberry leaf tea is some sort of miracle tea for giving birth. According to this one blog I read (here) and an article that I read (here) raspberry leaf tea has all of these amazing qualities that make labor a whole lot easier. One woman even commented that her labor was only 25 minutes (or something like that) and there was practically no pain. My response? "Really? Are you Sure? Was it actually due to the tea?" So I decided that it really couldn't hurt to try. Today I went and bought some and, fortunately, it tastes much better than I anticipated. I brewed a pot and basically made sweet tea out of raspberry leaf vs. Lipton, so it is really easy to drink. Unfortunately it isn't supposed to actually induce labor, just help with everything before, during, and after labor. So I will continue to walk and do my pregnancy yoga, and pray that she comes soon, but now, I will also be drinking tea. Hopefully, the tea will do all it is supposed to do. If that is the case, however, I will also be highly annoyed that I didn't know about this sooner.
