I decided that writing down both of the girls' birth stories would be fun for me. Having Leila three weeks ago made Kealani's birth come flying back into my always-hazy/forgetful/straight-up-unaware consciousness. I also figured it could be fun for them to, in the future, read a detailed account of their entrance to the world... rather than asking their 40-something mother what it was like twelve years after I've already completely blocked out the trauma.
I realize birth stories can be boring. I apologize in advance if you read them thinking they might be as entertaining as 16 and Pregnant and I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant (the drama!... the ignorance!). This is to help my Old, Future Self to remember. And for my girls.
Some day, some month, some date, 2025...
Me: Kealani, Leila, do you want to read about the days you were born?
Leila & Kealani:
I'm loving this! The next phase of posts should be about how you are able to raise such great kids. They have fun, vivacious personalities, but are such good and polite kiddos. What a great balance!
