Baby #9 Came Early! Birth Story Surprises & Life as a Family of 11 (Episode 310)
I’m back behind the mic with baby Miriam in my arms, sharing her birth story and what life has looked like in this new season. She was my earliest and smallest baby yet, and my first experience with breast milk jaundice. I’m chatting about postpartum rhythms, how my perspective has shifted after years of motherhood, and a few listener questions on everything from diet and mold prevention to couches, business growth, and sourdough. Tune in for this catch-up on life lately in our family of eleven!
In this episode, we cover:
- Sharing Miriam’s birth story — my earliest baby yet and one of my smoothest, simplest deliveries
- My first experience with breast milk jaundice, what I learned, and how I found peace of mind through it
- Reflections on postpartum life, newborn sleep, and easing back into our daily rhythm
- Why I’m confident in our meat and dairy focused diet and how sourcing matters more than labels
- How I’ve learned not to worry so much about teaching or milestones after years of experience raising little ones
- What we’re doing in the new build to prevent mold (and how I’m learning not to stress over every comment)
- My honest take on modular washable couches and what to know before buying
- A look at how Farmhouse on Boone has evolved from a small blog to a full-time family business
- Thoughts on when I’m comfortable leaving a breastfed baby overnight
- The rule of thumb I use for turning any family favorite recipe into a sourdough version
