Open Call: Your Birth Stories!

So you know there's about to be a new baby at Heavenly House, right? 


I mean, I think I've waxed both poetically (or at least emotionally) and fearfully enough to let you all know that we only have FOUR WEEKS left until the due date.  And with that date fast approaching, I've been thinking about ways to keep this space worthy of your time while I'm on a babymoon. 

And here's what I think makes this space worthy: you guys!  If I haven't told you before, interacting with you, my friends, is what keeps me coming back over and over.  That, and, possibly, the compulsion I have to plaster my thoughts far and wide.

So here's what I'm hoping: that some of you lovelies would be willing to guest post while I take it easy for a few days!  And by 'take it easy', of course I mean 'wander around like a sleep-deprived zombie-mama smelling of old milk and new poo.'

Right now I'm thinking that I'd REALLY love to share your birth stories, whether they be dreamy and magical or unexpected and wild.  So what do you say?!  Will you share a guest post here with my friends and readers? 

Please say you will!  Your stories will surely serve to keep me entertained and motivated while we welcome a new sweet little one into our family.

Plus, and this is always important: I'll love you forever!

So leave a comment or send an email or poke me on Facebook...whatever that means...but let me know in any case!  Thank you so much!

  10. Yay! Permission to tell birth stories! Aren't they always bubbling right beneath the surface whenever someone mentions "pregnancy" or "birth" or "uterus?"

    Count me in for one if you still need some. I promise I won't use the word uterus.:)
