Well my husband and I made it through our Traumatic Birth Healing class. For me especially, it opened up all of the deep wounds that had finally begun to heal. I really needed to do that though, to work through a lot of things I had just tried to forget about. It also made me remember things that I had pushed out of my head and deal with those in a constructive way before they could sneak up on me at a later date. I cannot begin to express how helpful it was for me to share my birth story with other couples that had similar situations. It was incredibly validating. The class used artwork to express feelings. At first I thought "Ugh that sounds like hippy crap," but for my husband it really helped bring out things that he didn't realize he was still hanging onto.
So hopefully I can continue to move forward in my healing and find peace with how my first birthing experience ended up. I am grateful every day for my healthy, beautiful little boy.
I am also grateful that we finally found a house that both the husband and I like! We are meeting with our realtor this evening to officially put an offer on it. Hopefully all goes well and we will get to move out of the apartment soon and into our first home.
