my second

Teresa Inisme born here at home, 12:12am November 16th 8lbs 7oz, 55cm long and a whopping 37 cm head!



It snowed that day, my water broke at 6am (nov 15th) and I drank the induction cocktail around 3, contractions started around 4, real labour started at 6- so it was a fast and furious "6 hour" labour. Amazing.
Today and yesterday I am cramping alot- everyone with more than one kid says "oh yeah, that's to be expected" well, I didn't and gosh, it makes me extra sore!!

Of course it's all worth it.

I wrote that almost 9 months ago, and my baby is getting big.
Her and her sister keep us very busy, happy and we are all constantly learning together. I am incredibly blessed, and would be happy to have only these two - if that is what is meant! How wonderfull.

High Hopes

My daughters,
I hope you stand together.
I wish all the best for you two, I pray the world keeps you safe.
Stay away from hierarchical people and those who don't follow the cardinal rule:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Not as they do unto you.
For people, when hurt, can be harsh and hurtful.
I hope that in this lifetime I can show you that I am OK
I feel good about being in the moment, about letting the past go
Someday I may find I have to explain why I did this or that
but know that I live as consciously as I think that I can.
And know that you are OK to live your life for who you are
For what life brings, gladly.
Don't fall into those patriarchal put downs and divisive petty talk about others:
Judge not lest you be judged.
And united we stand.
Mother
