This is what the afternoon before my water broke looked like: a birthday picnic and intention circle at Bronson Park, celebrating my friend, Jen.
Healthy snacks, some Tarot/spirit animals and a guided intention setting session. I pulled this goose card. Hours later I was waking with a big surprise.
I’m finishing up my birth story and will post it on Monday. It was such an interesting experience and it feels a little strange to me to write about. Thank you for your love. This is a big and beautiful challenge. The support is invaluable.

Thank you, Abby! I appreciate the love! This is a big change! 🙂 That WAS a really nice way to transition into motherhood-a last day with friends before becoming a mother!
Krista Williams says
I can’t wait to read the story Monday. And I must say I’m super jealous…I induced both my kids so I never experienced going into labor.
Christina Warren says
Thank you, Krista! Well, you’ll see that it was a mixed experience! XO

I love reading birth stories and that’s the only reason I’m sharing mine. I have read so many and each is so interesting to me! Thank you! I’m resting in bursts. It takes getting used to but it’s coming along! 🙂

How sweet that you were at a birthday celebration right before you started going into labor. That will be a great story for you to tell Grant when he gets older 🙂 Hope you’re both well Christina! Happy weekend!
