Reliving labor

Today is a very special day. It was one year ago today that I was in labor with Adelaide. I didn't expect today to be as emotional as it is. Every time I look at the clock I go back one year and remember what was happening at the same time. I have so much to be greatful for, so much to celebrate. It's been the best year of my life, I am so happy and in love with my family. It seems like the year has gone so fast, yet when I look back I can't beleive all that has happened, or how much Adelaide has changed since that very first moment I saw her. Here is a link to her birth story if you haven't read it yet. It's a long story, but my favorite.

Tonight I went to yoga and my intention there was to let go of any of the pain or bad feelings I had been holding onto about the whole ordeal. I cried like I have so many times before, and as I did I told myself that this was the LAST time I will cry for that day unless they are happy tears. The birth was so beautiful and amazing, and that is how I'm going to always remember it!

Remembering the birth, especially on the birthdays is always so emotional for me. It was such a life changing, challengin and even spiritual moment...you have every right to feel any emotion you are feeling...and feel them again next year and the year after...
