How I did it
How to have a natural birth
It took me
1 day
It made me
Happy

How I did it: I have to say this was very hard. I'd gone through labor before but this time I was determined to do it without meds. Since I had taken an epidural at the last second with my other children, I decided to go to a hospital where doctors and other staff respect your decisions. There were also jacuzzi's in every room, which helped a lot. I won't bore you with gory details. I managed contractions very well (I walked around, lounged in the bath… Read how I did it…

take singing lessons
My entire family are singers, basically 15 months ago

And I’ve always left it up to others. I have a good voice and I can sing along with them, but I have no freaking clue what they’re talking about when they start assigning notes or telling me I’ll be singing a ‘fifth above’.

I really need basic training, and I’ll have the perfect audience! My kids love when I sing, and I’ll be having a new baby in 3 months… I should go for it!

Be confident
Be confident! 15 months ago

I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s no reason not to be confident. We’re all people, most of us are insecure, all of us are not perfect. Why feel inferior?

I’m also not confusing confidence with the defense-mechanism overconfidence, which is… well, just as bad as being insecure and constantly apologizing for being yourself and taking up space.

So I’m just being me now, and taking up my space, and I’m allowed and it feels good.

As for body imagine, I try and take care of mine, but I’M pregnant now so I’ve got the new butt-padding and the stretch marks and the swelling legs but so what? When people see the stretch marks that looks like a large animal mauled me and ask what they are, my kids smile and raise their hands.

And when I give birth and I’m all saggy and smushy, I will own that. Because it’s my body and it’s amazing.

Keep at it everyone! It feels good!

stop procrastinating
Procrastinating? 15 months ago

For me, it’s not so much about the procrastination, it’s about not waiting and dreading things to come and making everything worse. I’m not a pro at being organized now, but as I learn to surrender to the ups and downs of life, I find myself procrastinating less. Whatever I’m dreading will probabaly happen. So what? Why am I wasting all this time freaking about it when I could just live now and and worry about it never? Or almost never.

Anyway, I’m trying to be better, and it seems to be working. So: yay me!
