oh man i was just so simply EXCITED when i was pg with DD2! with DD1 i wasnt scared at all, but wasnt excited as i simply saw it (the process of birth) as a means to an end (ie getting my baby). so it was a big shock when i realised that birth encompasses so much more than having a baby placed on your chest ITMS. it is a passage that you go through that at the end you will be different...and that was a bit of a shock to me when i had DD1. but this second time around i was much better prepared for all the changes that come with a birth journey...and it was simply JOYOUS!

i remember as i lifted DD2 out of the water and cradled her in my arms that i declared to the room that i was going to have a million babies lol.
