Wednesday's

It was a quiet night. I was going to sit down and write about the relaxing, laid back evening I was having with sleeping children in beds and being the only one home and up. 

Then... Abigail woke up... 18 months of cuddly sweet love with a stuffy nose. Now asleep in my lap wearing her big brother's shirt.

On with the post: I've been thinking a lot since yesterday where I want to go with this little (2 post) blog.

First, I want it to keep going. I want it to go, for me. It's the one thing that is all about me right now, what I want and I like it! 

Second, I don't want it to be just about me. (I know, not what I just said) Having it be something people can connect to, that is helpful to others, that speaks to real humans, that they want the next post and time to read it.

Third and last, I want to learn. Learning to listen is the main goal, but we'll see where else I go on this journey.

But Wednesday's? Where are they going? Birth stories ... Oh I know... Collective groan: no more, not again! Or collective excited "gasp!" Birth junkies, I know you're out there.

Birth stories are the reason I started reading blogs. I wanted inspiration, instruction, affirmation... Just a friggin clue what was going to happen. So while this is not a birth blog (I leave that to the super stars like Mrs.Harsche), birth work is in my heart.

 I've asked many of my friends to share their stories with me and you. I plan to post a birth story every Wednesday. 

It's about moms learning to listen. Listen to their bodies, their babies and their hearts. No matter how they birth, feed or raise their babies it's about knowing yourself and that you are at peace with where and how you birth. Having insights from other's births and journeys helps women to accept, love and understand themselves and each other.

So, next week, look for my first birth story post :) and oh yeah! Have one you want to share? E-mail me!
