In the beginning, there were the normal hopes and dreams that come with any pregnancy. A healthy baby, a healthy mommy, a good birth experience. As a first time mommy, my expectations changed a lot through my first pregnancy, as I'm sure every mom to mommy-to-be has experienced. But I've learned a lot over the past few years. Whatever my hopes and desires were (or are) for pregnancy and birth, they are important to me, and it is up to me to be sure it is what I want and it is what happens. And, most importantly, I've learned everyone is different. What I may want or not want is not any more or less important than what others want, or better, or superior. Its just different, and its right for me. And not necessarily (in fact, most likely) not right for lots of other mommies.
This blog is a joint venture between two friends--my co-author isn't quite ready to reveal herself yet, but we are due within a couple of weeks of each other, and we know our pregnancies and birth experiences are going to be completely opposite from each other. We thought it would be fun and interesting to blog about our journey to, and through our contrasting births. Its going to be so different, yet we are going to get the same end results: a new, beautiful baby, a bigger family, little ones becoming big brothers and big sisters and happiness (and tears and emotions and hormones, and all that normal pregnancy and birth drama). We hope you'll enjoy following our journey as much as we are sure to enjoy writing about it!
