Ain't our first rodeo
Like a lot of second-time parents, we have sought a major dose of redemption for this go-around.
We had our first child in April 2020. As if two artists (code for low-income, gig-based workers in multiple industries (namely music, food, fabrication, education, and community-building)) starting a family wasn’t radical enough, entering parenthood at the beginning of a pandemic made for one of the most challenging experiences either of us had gone through.
We mined diamonds in that rough desert of time: treasured our hallowed new-family cocoon time, savored all the creative physically-distanced support from our village of family and friends, and luxuriated in the emergency-granted parental leave the both of us received from the government.
For this second rodeo, we’re making every effort to nurture and advocate for ourselves. We want to have an empowered birth with an engaged birthing team in a relaxing environment. We want to honor a zuo yue zi (sitting the month) rest period for Jessica and baby. We want Logan and our older child to feel sustained and cared for throughout this transition. We want our home to be a sanctuary for healing, bonding, and friendship.
We feel beyond blessed to have connected with the birthing center, Kindred Space Los Angeles, a truly caring community of dedicated midwives and birthworkers with such generous hearts. Through their Community Love Group Model we've found a way to plan for the kind of birth we've always dreamed of with a wonderful birthworker at our side.
This time, we know what we need to survive and are asking for what we need to thrive.
Ready to giddyup,
Jessica and Logan
