She makes these noises that sound like a squeaky toy when she's sleeping, it's so cute and it makes me laugh! Remembering back to the whole birth experience I see it as exciting! Despite how uncomfortable I was through a lot of it I am now able to remember it as an exciting event and I feel like I did a pretty amazing job dealing with it! Before I felt like I had not handled the pain very well because I was just shocked by the emotional and physical intensity of it, but now when I look back I'm just proud of myself!
In church I am helping go through a series about sex with the middle school girls. We're discussing God's plan for sex and on Sunday the girls got into the discussion and somehow brought up the idea that women have it harder than men with the whole childbirth process. Women have to carry the baby for nine long months and then go through painful labor and birth. I was listening as they discussed this and thinking this is exactly how I felt when I was those girl's age. But after going through it myself I feel completely different. Childbirth isn't a burden it's a blessing! Women don't have to carry the baby for nine long months we GET to. And that's something that men do not get to do. But don't worry guys, you play a major role in this as well. I'm so thankful to have Michael around. Not only did I need him during labor and delivery but the recovery has been a lot harder than I imagined, and I couldn't do it without him.
Those are my thoughts right now and I'm glad I was able to get them out! I want to hold on to this feeling as long as I can.
