Jennifer Fulwiler is inviting people to share haiku versions of their birth story:
I am limited to one-hand typing while holding the new baby, so how about if you all do all the work for this post? How about this: Let�s do birth story haikus!
I love hearing birth stories, but they�re always so long � I don�t think I�ve ever been able to capture one of mine in less than 2,000 words. I thought it might be fun to put them in haiku form (if you need a refresher, it�s a 5-7-5 syllable scheme).
What fun. Who wouldn’t want to play along?
I thought I’d repost mine here.
#1
Water breaks, labor
slows. Pitocin? No, she�s breech!
Oh great! C-section.
C-section. Arms stretched,
I�m on the cross. Panic, pain
don�t suffer in vain.
#2
Water breaks. Should I
go? Slow progress. VBAC Fail.
C-section again.
#3
Even with a planned
c-section, there is plenty
pain to offer up.
#4
Four days before plan
contractions coming too fast
He chose the right surgeon
It looks like an amazing day! Good for you!
So glad to hear you are enjoying your summer, but mostly how you are enjoying your life! The mental habits you are forming in setting your priorities will see you far past this summer. Beautiful!
We have been enjoying a similar summer of sun and a messy house…and it has been wonderful! Easily the best summer of our lives so far- just happily enjoying the world around us
LOVE this! Keep enjoying! They grow much too fast!!!
