Ahhh…the days when I was wise. Smart. Sassy. Knew everything. Confident in my abilities. Never criticized my husband. Never left the house unscathed.
What happened? Her name is Lauren.
Born 11 days early via c-section, she began this journey that is life a little stubborn. Lauren was a frank breached baby (see pic of example). Could we turn her in-utero? Nope. She was too big already…at 37 weeks.
Huh. Now what? C-section. The dreaded surgery that some moms swear by and others recoil at the thought. That was my fate. Scheduled it, researched it, and once again…I knew everything.
Control was my mantra. I was notorious for it.
21 months later, control is a thing of the past. And this is the place where I can document the constant spinning that is my life. Through laughter and tears, I will tell it like it is, and I hope you share. Because as I’m sure we’re all aware, only knowing that someone is as screwed up as you are makes everything ok.
