While we are in the throes of moving in I am bumping this post (click on the word "this" for the original post link)  from nine years ago.  Has it been that long??   It seemed important at the time and I had no idea how much more those words would need to be said almost a decade later. It is still my firm belief that life is not a crisis and childhood is not a disorder.  It is still my firm belief that we do well to stay on the same team versus seeing each other as opponents (whether the "other" here is our spouse, our baby, our friends).  

So here's a virtual high five to us, Moms. You've got this.  Go team!

**One disclaimer though – this post does not suggest c-section is never appropriate.  It often is necessary and life saving.  However there are also many factors impacting contemporary American c-section rates so women are encouraged to research thoroughly and make the decisions best for them.
