TIME FOR ANOTHER BIRTH STORY!  Meet Kristen at Curious Cora!   " Make sure you click her button and send her some love and thanks for sharing her story!  I was delirious for a lot of my labor, or at least I felt delirious, so I’ll try to remember as much as I can! I was due on Thanksgiving; I was really hoping we would have Cora before then or on that date. I didn’t want to see anyone looking like the Thanksgiving turkey.  Plus, I was uncomfortable, tired, swollen, and in pain, so I obviously just wanted her out. She decided to take her time, and on Monday, November 30 th  I started having contractions. They weren’t bad yet, just like a really bad period, but I couldn’t sleep.  I told my husband we might be going to the hospital that night. He said we should try to get some sleep, but I couldn’t sleep.

Did you know that service dogs are not only for people with vision disabilities??  Service dogs now help people who suffer from multiple different things such as seizure disorders and even autism. My friend has a 2.5 year old who has autism and her family is looking to raise funds to cover the cost of training the dog to be her service dog . Please consider helping them reach the $9000 goal by getting a magazine subscription, restaurant gift cards, or even buy some yummy cookie dough.   CLICK HERE WHAT CAN A SERVICE DOG DO WITH SOMEONE WITH AUTISM???
