Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Natalie
From hopeful TTC, through infertility, IVF and the resulting pregnancy, this became a journal through grief and trying again after the loss of our first son, Devin, at 36 weeks. After multiple more IVF cycles we got pregnant with our second child, a little girl born healthy and alive in May of 2010. Our third child, a most unexpected surprise baby girl, was just born in June 2012!

Quote: Birth

Found by way of Grateful Always, a fantastic little quote I want to save:

My baby will be born on its birthday, not its due date.
I am not in a hurry.
I am not on a schedule.
I am patient.
When I am in labor, I will not rely on the clock to tell me how fast to go.
I am not factory. (This is a custom order.)
I am a powerful woman, birthing a new person into the world.

Oh! I LOVE that. Very timely for me, having met with my doula just yesterday to discuss labouring in more detail. I think I’m going to save this and keep it with me from now until the baby comes.
A little mantra…
