BIRTH PHOTOS⚠️
not sure if i should put a TW on this or not…
anywhoooo..
6 years ago today, i went through the biggest initiation of my entire life.
I birthed my son, in my one bedroom apartment, with my birth team, my husband and photographers.
My whole identity shifted at this moment.
out went the maiden, in came the mother.
this was the most beautiful experience of my entire life, and I would do it over and over again.
Still to this day, I remember this experience so clearly.
As my now six-year-old beautiful, wild, free spirit boy goes to work with daddy, i’m sitting here with myself, looking at these beautiful photos, and just completely in awe.
how I went from out until 6 AM, drinking my face off, tripping on hallucinogens, going to festivals, had $6 in my bank account…. to the life i have now.
I’m not going to lie, when I found out i was pregnant, i was incomplete shock. This was not a planned pregnancy, but from the moment I found out, I knew that it was the greatest gift that I had been given. Not only a chance to start over, but my purpose was handed to me on a silver platter. and i knew from that moment what i had to do. There was no turning back.
The last six years have been the greatest years of my life.
It has definitely been a roller coaster to say the least, with its own ups and downs… but to know that this sweet little boy runs to mommy when he gets hurt, wants to show me all of his drawings and new tricks that he’s learned, cares for his sister (& also messes w her, but ya know, siblings) and truly just wants to make everybody laugh all the time just makes everything so worth it.
Motherhood hits differently when you don’t have a mom yourself,m & i’d like to pat myself on the back. i’m grateful to go to bed each night tucking my baby in & know i’m doing everything in my power to make sure he is safe, healthy, happy and loved.
& let’s put the spotlight on for not only literally getting into the birth pool with me and sticking electrolytes in my mouth through a straw while in labor, but providing for us, loving us and being our protector these last 6 years❤️
happy birth day to me & happy birthday to my son🌀
