Scars

There are times when I wish I could have had a vaginal birth. That is the natural way of things. I think there is something special about the experience. But that is not the way it worked out for me. And I am totally okay with that. In fact, I am thankful for it. 

Every now and then I just have to touch my scar from my c-section to make sure my life is real. I am so happy and I feel so blessed to be a mother that sometimes it just doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel like I was ever pregnant or that motherhood can really be happening to me. So at those times I touch my scar and rub the numb place on my abdomen right above it to remind myself that it did indeed happen. I was pregnant. I do have a baby. I am a mother. And I couldn't be happier.
