this month?

so, this is our month . . maybe.

my ‘due date’ is july 30th.  i think ‘due season’ is a better term.  if only more mommies knew and believed that babies come when they are ready, but you have to have all the doctors on board for that to really work.

come on docs, this is a normal process!  this is what our bodies are designed to do.  you are smart and training in lots of life-saving techniques.  the trick is, most of the time our babies don’t need them so please cut back on the scare tactics, making decisions just to cover your own bum, and instead help women embrace the experience, trust in their bodies, and let their babies do their thing!

i am SO excited to have the chance to welcome emilymae into this world at a birth center and to feel so much more in control of her birth, hooray!  i know it’s getting a little cramped in there, e, but just keep wiggling around and growing.  we’ll see you soon!
