E Turns Four Naked And High On Sugar (Updated: Birth Story Link Fixed)

My son turned four yesterday. My beautiful boy who made me a mom. And tired and crazy and unbelievably content with my life.


He spent his birthday naked playing with his new Aquaplay AquaLand (bought because I clearly love my son more than my sanity) and watching movies while we ate donuts and salami and pasta.

His day. His rules.

It’s good to know we’re related.

PS. If you want to read his birth story, it’s here. It is graphic and honest and atypical. I did not write it for this blog. I wrote it years ago at the behest of my midwife in the hopes that I could process E’s birth enough to not carry it into my subsequent pregnancies. Writing helped. Today, I only carry joy around his birth.

hilarious, and lovely pregs pictures. It’s amazing to look at them and think -that was in me-

my #2 also has shovinistic tendencies, and eats sweets on birthdays until he throws up, and then casually carries on eating.

If we could all spend our birthdays naked and high on sugar, the world would be a happier place. Happy Birthday to your 4 year old!
