This was me, 7 years ago, on the morning of January 24th, 2017....all ready...heading off to the hospital to welcome our second baby. I've had 4 pregnancies. I have 2 children. You all can fill in the blank.
They say that the cells of your children, born or unborn remain in the mother's body forever. Whenever anything on a cell level harms or attacks the mother, these cells of her born or unborn children comes together and surrounds these harmful cells. This is how f'ckin amazing the vitality of life is.
This was a long day! We were expecting our scheduled Caesarean surgery to take place around 10am, but many babies were also eager to be born in a rush. My husband said he was dressed like he was going to the moon. Oddly, I always refer to Mia as being my moon and Nicholas as my sun. The alignment of things lol....tonight we move into the first full moon of 2024!
She graced us with her entry in to life at 324pm. The surgery took substantially longer than anticipated due to all the scar tissues leftover from Nicholas' birth. I later on then had internal bleeding that nearly put me into shock. Recovery from the C-section was approximately 12 weeks. However, almost 13 years later from the first C-section with Nicholas and now 7 years from Mia's, the area of where they were born is still sensitive. Spiritually, emotionally and mentally, I was older, mature and calmer (somewhat). I still suffered from postpartum, slightly, but the perspective in life is significantly different when you are being blessed with a rainbow baby 357 days later from saying goodbye to another. And life is fleeting, I would do it all over again if I had to.
Mia has brought upon us a very different perspective to parenting as we were 6 years older from when we had Nicholas. Not only were we older, we had experience, we were financially more stable, and we merged our household with my in-laws, hence we had more support and help. All factors that contributed to who we become as parents to our children. And to how we continue to grow into as an individual, a spirit in this universe, contributing spiritually and energetically each and every day to ourselves, our family, friends, to society, to the world.
Birthdays, holidays and special occasions always makes me nostalgic and reminisce on how quickly time flies. How I miss so many people who are no longer with us anymore. How my children has grown so much and becoming the most miraculous and amazing human beings.
I reflect, introspect, ponder, contemplate and discern....A LOT! But more so on days like today because it makes me remember a lot of memories. It allows me to consider all our blessings, gratitude, and how different of a person I am and my life is today.
I can go on forever on writing.....LOL...if you haven't met me in person....I can also TALK forever (I use to be in Sales lmao), I can also listen forever as well....but I'll save it for another post.
For all of us to mill over:
