A little background:)

I think I should post a little about my girls, my life:)

I wont post to much about them as I would like to keep my life and my blog a little seperate;)

But they are the reason for my choices in life, so it only makes sense to post a little about them. Annabelle, 3 and Lucy 1, are my life. They are the reason for my in-depth research and the reason for my constant questioning of the way we are 'told' to live our lives.

How I thought about children/mothering etc before children, couldn't be more diffrent to how I think now! If somebody like me talked about all the things I now talk about, before having kids, I would have yawned, giggled and moved on. It wasn't important to me. But the moment I fell pregnant with Annabelle my mind shifted, I felt what it is to be a woman and human. Protective and already so much inlove. The day she was born and put to my breast, that was it, I realised what life was all about.
Watching her grow and learn because of me, wow!
Then having Lucy, was a whole new feeling. Not ony did I feel an unstoppable urge to learn more about the process of conception, birth, breastfeeding and the crazy choices that are presented once becoming a mother, but I wanted to voice this urge! I wanted to not only learn but, if possible, teach.
Could I be the only one who feels this way? Will I be fighting a loosing battle to voice how feel? Will I just give up, because it would become to hard to question what we are 'told' to do? Luckly, no, Im not alone. Everyday I am inspired to push and learn more. And lately I have been told that I inspired, ha, still cant believe that!
Though many times I feel discouraged and question if I should keep pushing, going against the grain. I have to forget for a moment how many hurdles Im up against and instead, remember the hurdles I've jumped. How many people I have helped, and how many people are with me.
When it comes to our kids DONT EVER, do as you're 'told'. Question everything that doesn't feel right or natural! This is your DUTY as a parent. Your children are relying on you to make informed choices.
My girls will continue to inspire and push me to become more. Im only 23 and am slowly realising what my 'meaning' is. Im not affraid of who I am, but proud. And it's all because of these girls I have been blessed with:)

A friend of mine is cutting her son when he's born, without even doing ANY research. That poor baby, safe and sound in there, doesn't know what will hit him:(
I offered her info and help, she shut me down. Not a bad parent but not an informed one. When you dont inform yourself on the choices you make for your child, you can create scares, not just physical;)
