(Please don't fool me)
Chapter 35
As Corriander predicted in the last comment section I did kind of go down a homebirth rabbit hole and Juliana's home birth is a mash up of several "homebirth journey" blogs I read. Home birth is really, really controversial but one thing I found that I just love is this picture (which is not graphic but I'm linking to because it feels weird to post someone's personal pictures): http://threemanycooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/POST1.jpg
The midwife is wearing shorts in case she has to jump into the water and IDK...it's kind of gross to think about but it's also kind of badass. These midwives are ride or die for their clients and the mothers really put it all out there when writing about it.
I don't talk much about my daughter, but I had all of the drugs and reading about the experiences of others is so interesting and seems kind of awesome. I mean, giving birth in a hospital is really a new-ish thing. Okay moving on...
Chapter 36 + Chapter 37
These chapters are going to be shorties, but you guys I've made a decision....I'm going to pump it out and finish UL3 in April. That is my goal.
Recap
Juliana is with Rocket in Florida interviewing the South Florida gang and other ex-UL members for Rocket's oral history. Juliana confronts her past by seeing Brad and Caine and she realizes they don't own her or her emotions anymore. She's a few days from her due date and Rhett flies down to drive her back to Louisiana but her water breaks and in the irony of ironies Juliana finds herself giving birth in the same house she first moved into with Sawyer. As she spends 8 hours in labor she finally understands for the first time, that maybe she was never alone as she thought and gives birth to baby Clark #2.
