How did Miriam’s early birth and delivery go?
So many children in and I've never taught anybody colors and they all learn colors. And so all that to say, I think when we have toddlers, especially when we don't have any older kids and we don't have any context for that, we think we have to teach them how to do literally everything in life or they won't learn it. Giving kids an environment where they know how to figure out the things when they need them is more important. My name is Lisa, mother of nine, and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boon. On this podcast, I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses, Simple Sourdough in the Simple Sewing Series.
I also help people reach their goals from home through my business courses, Create Your Blog Dream, and YouTube Success Academy. I will leave links to these resources in in the show notes and description box below. Now let's get into the show. Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. This is going to be my first episode that I've recorded since little Miriam was born. Now she is already almost a month old. It took me a while this time to get on the internet and make the announcement. I was just laying really low. this time around. And so I didn't even get on Instagram, I think, to announce that she was born for maybe close to two weeks until she was born. So if you didn't catch my birth story over on my main YouTube channel, I shared that Miriam was born earlier than any of my other child
So this is gonna be a challenge now. Every other year since this podcast started, I have a baby in my episodes kind of grunting, possibly crying at some points, nursing. When I first started the show in 2020, I had my sixth baby, Daniel, and he was he was two months old when I started the show. So he was with me for all the episodes. It takes a while for me to actually get the babies to the point where they can nap down. On their own? And then it was Theodore, and then it was Victor, and now it is little Miriam. So this will just be sort of what we're doing for the next uh several months of this show. Anyways, interestingly enough, I got over on Instagram when I was 39 weeks pregnant, and this is just how stuff goes, and showed a little selfie of me 39 weeks pregnant and said that.
I'm glad I always make it to my due date because I have Plenty of things planned. I'm in the middle of shooting this video and that. And I have, you know, this episode to do. And I just wanted to get a few more things done before my maternity leave. Now, of course, as somebody who runs their own business, I that's all flexible. We can either, you know, get ahead on certain things or just not, and it's fine. But uh I really do like to go to my due date because I like when babies are, you know, just everything seems to to go well when they're born kind of around that due date or after. Not that she was born super early. But I was kind of questioning my dates a little bit. Um, not really based on any hard facts.
I didn't keep track too well. But I had a 20-week ultrasound. And I know that those are not great for dating purposes at all, but I noticed on that, like the ultrasound technician didn't say anything. She just went with my original due date that I originally said. But I noticed that the baby was measuring a little. Bit smaller. Again, that you know, two or three days smaller on a 20-week scan isn't significant enough to change a due date. Now, on an earlier scan, that is a a case for just not having the dates correct because babies develop around the same at that point of pregnancy, whereas by the 20-week genetic factors can take over. People who are a little smaller, you know, you might have a smaller baby at twenty weeks.
Um, not that any of my babies have really been small. So, anyways, I kinda had in my head that she probably would be born even a little later than the due date that I was saying. So when I started having predromal contractions just a few days after making that Instagram post, I thought, okay, I guess I'm gonna have padromal labor a really long time.
