You wouldn’t just arrive on your wedding day expecting everything to go smoothly without any planning or preparation right? I really believe that preparation is key in achieving a positive birth experience. Sure, we can’t control exactly how our birth will go, but we can definitely put ourselves in the best position to achieve what we want. I think that the idea of ‘going with the flow’ can be really dangerous if you’re not aware of your options or have the knowledge to advocate for yourself and your baby. As Amanda from @nestyogaadelaide says so well - who’s ‘flow’ will you be going with? Yours or your doctor/hospitals? Most likely it will be the latter. There is almost always a financial investment in order to get the best support, but think about how much money we spend on our wedding day. The day that you give birth is one of, if not the biggest day in your life. Not just for us but for our babies too. I believe this also extends into the postnatal period - I would much rather see my clients invest in independent childbirth education and excellent postnatal support than the most high-tech pram Emotional health and well-being is SO important. Babies don’t need much ‘stuff’, but they do need a mum who is healthy, whole and thriving.

Everyone's been asking!
.
So finally, meet (or at least his toes for now)
.
HARLAND (: hɑrlənd)
Meaning "from the land of Strength"
.
ARI'EL (:Ah r - ee - EH L)
A poetic name for Israel meaning Lion of God
.
His name's are a testimony of Jesus, Harland was a name God gave me one day and He told me to find it's meaning and it's unusual, uncommon & we LOVE it
.
Ari'el was a searched name, we wanted a name that meant Lion because since we started this process God has been revealing himself to me as the Lion of God, when we were matched I felt more certain it had to be a name that meant Lion, some Google later and a website for traditional Hebrew names and we were settled on it the moment we saw it meant "Lion of God"
.
This Little Boy has a Steady Strong personality and already the promises of God are poured out over His Life.
We know, as the vision God gave me, this little boy will take ground for the Kingdom, He will make barren places blossom with the Redeemer of All Things beside Him! He is going to Roar loudly proclaiming the restoration of Zion for Christ here on earth! .
Here are some the words we wrote in the letter to Him & his birth parents for our profile... Adapted from @nicholenordeman "dear you"
.
From the love of God who made you just exactly as He meant to
you cannot imagine all the places you'll see Jesus, you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasn't supposed to go
Together with Him
We hold all the lost, whose pages & words seem missing
& feel all thier pain but also all the joy
Shout for the prisoner, cry for justice, loud and long
& march with the victims, as Jesus marches on
& sit at all the tables, 'cause Jesus eats with everyone
& dance to the music, if you can't sing its native tongue
& cry for the wombs, the mothers & the empty arms
& hold high the warriors, fighting now for freedoms' song
& open arms for those who need
& Love
Like it's your own blood
Love. As you have been Loved
Love, because it's Him, He IS love and oh how He loves you!
Oh how very much we LOVE YOU!

Dinner plates that I have been designing are finally finished and I am very happy with how they have turned out. I will have to be mindful of leaving enough space on the base but apart from that, I think this new shape will work. You will be able to purchase these from me at the @bowerbird.au in May
