Our sweetheart, Luna Grace Lukash, arrived safely March 18, at home π£π©· divinely, on the New Moon π 8lb, 1oz.
During an incredible sunset, with the snow melting, 2 days before Spring, just like I had envisioned.
That was the most wild, primal, humbling, empowering, challenging, and trying experience of my entire life, and it was worth every second.
Yes, I am booking therapies to process this event π€πΌ
We couldn't have done this without our incredible birth team of midwives and our doula, ._co . This girl deserves a Nobel Prize. π₯² More to share on that. Briona, you are a miracle.
We chose to not share with many that we were planning a home birth, as we had worked through many of our own fears and assumptions prior to coming to our informed and confident decision that this was the best place for us to birth.
So, surprise!!!! π
And somehow, even though I wanted to throw in the towel MANY times, even though I got completely in my head MANY times and fear-stricken, even though I said "I don't think I can do this" MANY times, and lovingly heard back "but you already are", WE SOMEHOW DID THE DANG THING!!!!!
And I brought our perfect little girl into this world naturally, the way women have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years.
These days don't come with words, transitioning into motherhood. But it all feels perfect somehow.
And once again, its been affirmed to me:
β’ Feel the fear, and do it anyway πͺπΌ
β’ You are beyond capable of what your mind limits you to πͺπΌ
β’ You don't have to feel ready to be ready π
So I'll be over here touching these wrinkly little toes and apparently brushing this absolute mop of hair π
Luna Grace, welcome to Earth β¨
