Starting Over

What a ride the last 9 months of my life have been. I couldn't even tell it all, as it would take longer than I have. All that I can say is that it was full of drama, pregnancy, crisis, relationship breakdown, violence, the closing of my business, instability, medical procedures, financial struggle, moving from a little house I liked to a basement and then to a crappy little low-income duplex, and then, wa-la, my baby was born.His birth was preceded by all of the catalysts that created dramatic change. He is a healer. He is a beautiful, calm soul that has managed to help create gentleness and love in his father, and between all of our family. He stayed in my womb against all odds (I tend to birth prematurely) and came out quickly and sweetly in the comfort of my home (okay- I'm not crazy about the home, but it worked to birth in), full of health and promise! Welcome to my fifth baby, my fourth living child, and my third son! I am in love!
Oh, and thank you to the home birth midwives who took me on in trade, without need for cash, with faith and generousity!
