Intro season 2 -My story of Bodie coming into the world.

The story of Bodie coming into the world.  My second birth, my second born son but the boy who allowed me to experience motherhood. A year to the day his brother was due pretty much. It was a weird anxiety filled time. With many unusual coincidences and circumstances. Much like many pregnancies that follow loss. I hated most of the pregnancy. I had mild PTSD that largely went unnoticed. But aside from that it was relatively plain sailing.  I was induced a few days early cos little did I know my baby was basically a sloth and in movement and future personality trails. But at the time he caused a lot of panic. I spent most of the last 20 weeks laying on my side drinking sugary drinks to promote the slightest prod.  So it’s no shock now that Unexplained lack of fetal movement for hours upon end lead to a swift induction, broken waters, more pitoci than I would wish my worst enemy, a failed epidural and about 8 hrs later after a few short pushes... THERE HE WAS!  I was in disbelief and in awe that I finally had a child to care for. I really didn’t think I’d see the day. All the anxiety washed away and for a while there it seemed like nothing but happily ever after.. *spoiler alert* that didn’t quite last forever 🤪  Although even on the bad days I look at bodie and feel so grateful for being so blessed with such a sweet, eccentric, particular, kind natural little sloth like cuddle and paw patrol obsessed little boy. He was and still is exactly what I needed.  I hope you enjoy the intro episode and I look forward to sharing more stories with you next week.  Love Frannie 🌈
