PinkCamouflage: Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

I just saw a 4 minute video of a complete ceaserian section. I thought it would be the ideal way to celebrate my first born son's second birthday. Reminiscence.

Within the first minute I was holding back the extreme urge to puke. But the will to not ruin a mommy moment overpowered my gut reflex. Even in the 'bloody' video 4 minutes seemed like ages! Ew and the blood, the slicing, the gore.

Wow we reallllly handle newborns like they're made of wax, look at the confident, matter of fact, swift movements of the doc with the baby who is still halfway out of the oven (so to say).

The baby in the video made its first sound. Its first feel of the outside world. Welcome little one.

In an instant my face relaxed with a smile. The same lil noise of life that changed mine forever. The video wasn't gory at all.

Love love love!

I am the pink in his camo filled life.

I like real things, like rains and thunderstorms, like an interesting conversation, a scrumptious meal, good company, an engaging book, old friends as good as family, new friends as good as old ones, bright colours, pretty places, a cozy bed, an inane chat, loud music, pictures in photo-frames, coffee in any form, dogs, Superheroes, people who are comfortable in their skin, their imperfections and quirks. That's the good stuff, the simple things, the ones without a price tag or brag rights.

I blog about my reality of becoming a mother; beyond the obvious sheer joy, the pretty pictures, the advice and the glory. This is my story, I tell it as it is- the real picture, no fancy-shamncy tales or philosophies. Okay, some philosophies. You get the picture.

You might relate to it, you might think I don't know shit. Either way, I’d love to hear about it.
