Current mood:laborfull
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
All day long I have stolen little moments away from I am doing to remind myself- last year today I was in labor. Let's see, noon today I was driving to East LA to have lunch with friend and run errands, baby in tow asleep in her carseat…last year at noon today I was debating whether it was time to go to the hospital or try and hold out a little longer at home while in slight agony.


5pm today I was pushing a stroller alongside a new favorite mama friend of mine, visiting a neighborhood farmer's market, as my baby snacked on strawberry and peach samples., last year at 5pm, I was 10 hours into labor and only 3 centimeters dialated, with about 13 hours to go, feeling desperate, and contemplating an epidural.


Lamar reminded me that around this time last year I politely asked him to stop talking completely, and he was silent until our daughter was born.


And now I'm writing a blog about the day Fatimah Celia was born, while last year I was in …you guessed it, in the throws of extreme labor pain.


What a difference a year makes! Now I am not only not in intense pain, I am blissfully thankful to the universe for reuniting me with my daughter who I know I've met before. Her personality in full bloom, she is a prankster, a tender kind person, a cautious sensitive cancer, an attitude filled diva, a bright observant analyst.


One year old tomorrow, a new addition to planet Earth, Fatimah has so much in store for all who will know and love her. I am grateful to finally have met her.


I hope you all can attend her birthday party Sunday 2pm mi casa, to celebrate 1 year of life, new futures, and of course, NOT being in labor!
