one

One year ago today I birthed this beautiful boy into a tub of warm water in my dining room alongside his father (whose hand I would not let go of), my sister (whose unexpected attendance was a blessing) and our beloved midwives (whose support along the way was invaluable).  His birth helped to heal old wounds and rebuild a trust in my body that had been broken 10 years prior when his brother was born by c-section. Congratulations on your first trip around the sun sweet boy – you are such a gift and you have already taught me so very much.
