Today is my first son, A's, third birthday. As such, it is also the third anniversary of my first cesarean birth. Since I have collected so many more like-birth-minded (that is not a word, not punctuated properly, and the words are probably out of order, but you know what I mean), I have gotten many congratulations on my birth day today as well. Wow, what an amazing feeling to be honored in that way. Today is really such a special day--it is the day I gave birth to my first son in a way I never would have imagined, but in a way that I also wouldn't change for just about anything. I'm constantly amazed at just how far my life has come in these three very short years...how many relationships I have developed, the network of support I have built, so many friends I now have who love and care about me and wish the best for me and my family.
Today is a wonderful day.
Happy Birth Day to you and A.! I often think about all of the women I've met (you, for one) because of my births, and it amazes me to think that I never would have met them if I had not had a c-section. I'm so much better for knowing you. Hope your little guy has a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, I often think the same. I'm so glad we're friends. :)
ReplyDeleteI love you so much, Melek. And of course, the gorgeous, bus loving boy, named Aydin.
ReplyDeleteDitto, C. And he loves his crafty godmother ;)
