things the books don't tell you

i started thinking about some of the things i've realised over the past 6 years, the stuff that you just don't find printed in all of those book you read about pregnancy, birth and beyond.

here's a list of a few i'd like to share:

• you will feel guilty
• you will cry, some sad tears, some happy
• it's ok to cry
• birthing any way is ok
• having pain relief through labour is ok
• some mothers judge and make other mothers feel bad. they are not worth your time
• breast feeding is great
• bottle feeding is great
• choice is great
• kids change your life
• c-sections hurt - a lot
• some things get easier, some get harder
• drink lots of pear juice after birth - trust me!
• the end of pregnancy is hard no matter who you are
• breastfeeding hurts at first, even when you're doing it 'right'
• a good photograph is all about angles
• fed is best
• if you've had a natural birth, you should not attempt to use a tampon for at least 6 months. when you do - it will hurt

can you relate to any of the things on the list above?

1st july 2011

today is the day, today is your day, the day you will be born.

i'm feeling quite scared about the surgery but i am so excited to finally meet you. to touch you, to see what you look like, to see how big (or little) you are. to name you, your name, your special name.

here is the last picture of you in my belly, the next picture will just be you, wrapped up in a nice warm lanky or 'snug as a bug in a rug' as we like to say.

you have been a bit quiet this morning, i wonder if you know what's about to happen. i am enjoying feeling you move for the last time, the last time for you but the last time ever for me too.

i love you more than words can say.
