A good one (really… even despite the last post!)

I just replaced my outside water hydrant and am taking a sip of “pond water” (what my kids call my chlorophyll tainted water) and resting a bit before going out to plant my vegetables.

It’s 73 degrees and sunny outside.

My husband tilled the garden for me this morning while I worked. Readying it for a new fruitful season.

This is the children’s last day of school and I will have them all back to myself for the summer.

I’m pregnant again, and feeling the baby move everyday now. I am planning a homebirth. All of it a miracle. Truly. 15 years ago last month I was diagnosed with CPD after trying to birth my 8lb 12oz baby boy. They told me not to even consider a vaginal birth. Several of “them” did. I hired a doula 4 years later and had my first vaginal birth. Repeat 2 times. This will be my 4th VBAC. Guess I showed “them”.

It is fitting that I will be growing my garden while I’m growing this baby. It is a blessing… a fruitful time… the summer of my days.

I’m happy. Life is good.

Life is good.
