Like you I became very reflective nearing the first birthday of my first child...so much so I wrote a blog entry here if anyone's interested in reading called Birthing and Beyond. I wanted to write a bit about how giving birth is so much more than the physical act...<br />http://newwritersden.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br />CarlieScheherazade's Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913163949552645130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-70002985329509575262009-09-22T20:58:27.993-05:002009-09-22T20:58:27.993-05:00Happy birthday, beautiful and mighty Stella!Happy birthday, beautiful and mighty Stella!Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274508276595416473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-14949581478818979762009-09-19T14:14:16.488-05:002009-09-19T14:14:16.488-05:00Thank you for that.
