Birthing warrior~ess

I haven't rested in a while. My am I feeling tired. I mean I sleep. But I've been averaging about 5 hours lately which just isn't good enough anymore. My eyes feel scratchy, my throat feels a bit raw and I have to will myself out of bed in the morning. But by the time I get up and get going I'm rolling! And then I'm good to go until afternoon hits. Afternoon is an EXCELLENT time for me to do massage because all I want to do is chill out but if I'm aimless at home or pushing myself doing 2 million errands I can end up feeling depressed in the afternoon so. I just figured out that afternoon is an excellent time for me to do massage.

Just in case you're interested.

Afternoon has long been a difficult time for me. I know this is because it was a sunny afternoon the day my dad left and my mom lost it. And that has a pretty heavy vibe attached to it. But it's all good. I've tended to that one for quite some time now.

There is a mama in my community who had a HBA2C today. This is amazing. For any of you who don't know what that is, and it very well could be all of you unless you are a birth junkie like me, HBA2C stands for home birth after 2 cesareans. This is really an amazing feat. And I am not talking necessarily physically. I mean yes, there is that of course. But the real challenge for a VBAC mama lies in trudging through all the intense negative stigma both internally and externally around have a c-section. It immediately means you can't do it. Something is wrong with you. Well this is how I felt. And SO thankful because I had been SAVED. In reality there was nothing emergent about it. Mine was not an emergency c-section. Mine was more of the, this is going too slow for our liking, variety.
