yo mama
With the thought of possible pregnancy and motherhood on the horizon, my mind has been whirling and twirling. Most of you will probably think I'm a whackadoodle. I don't fret about everything I eat or drink when I'm pregnant, granted I'm not out drinking (I don't do that anyway) or eating pounds of mercury filled fish, but if I want Mt. Dew or coffee, or a freakin' hot dog, I have them. Ha. I wanted drugs when I had my kids. Call me weird. I wasn't depressed when I had to be induced and then had to have a c-section, and happily opted for a scheduled c-section with the second, and will also with the third if and when it is created. I didn't breastfeed either of my children, and actually only considered it for a day or two when I was pregnant with Emma. My babies never had the boob, and we're perfectly healthy, amazing babies.
Granted, I do not fault anyone for doing the opposite of me. If you want to watch everything you put in your mouth, and have your baby completely naturally, and breastfeed them until the 5, that's your business. But in my experience as a mother, I have been the target of bad feelings from other moms for my choices. I have been told that I didn't "really have my kids" because I had c-sections, but from where I sit there's a very real 7 year old and 3 year old living in my house. So basically I just felt the need to lay that out on the table for all of you that are new to the game that is my life and if you feel like you need to bash, comment, question, or whatever go ahead and do it now before I'm actually pregnant and hormonal.
Peace.
