I haven't blogged on here for quite some time now. I kind of gave up on whatever it was I was doing with it. But now I would like to start up again and focus on something that is near and dear to me right now.
I have one daughter who turned 2 in February. She is an amazing, bright, little girl who is full of so much energy. I love her with all my heart. Because she is that amazing we decided to try for a second baby. We found out we were pregnant with our second child right around her birthday. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and things are going well.
When I had Sunshine (our first child) I ended up having an emergency c-section. (I will post her birth story at a different time). I was devastated when that happened and have focused a lot of my attention the last 2 years on becoming more educated on all aspects of birth, specifically VBAC which is a vaginal birth after cesarean. I have learned a lot about VBACs and have also learned a lot about natural birth.
I want to document my journey and hopefully find some other women who are going through the same thing. It is exciting and scary at the same time. A VBAC is all that I am hoping for with my labor and delivery this time around. I'd like to leave you with a quote from Ina May Gaskin. It is a powerful truth and sums up why I want to have a VBAC.
"Whenever and however you intend to give birth your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life."
