Can you believe that Mothers Day is right around the corner? Somehow, it sneaks up on me every single year. I’m so excited for a day to celebrate all the amazing things it takes to be a mom. I love waking up on Mother’s Day morning and really thinking about all the blessings I have in my life because I am a mom. Don’t get me wrong, mom life is the hardest and most challenging thing I’ve ever done. But those precious kids are my world and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

I’ve been able to have five natural births. Most might find that statement incredibly scary but looking back at each one, there was a lesson and for the most part, a great experience resulting in the birth of one of my children.

I am not sharing medical advice, just my own experience. My births have each been very different from one another… the first two…
