Catch Up

I've done a couple things a little out of order this week, as far as documenting goes, for the becoming a better woman challenge.

Day 3 was supposed to be "find a mentor," but Tiffi decided to change it to "research a womenly topic" instead. That is cool by me. I'm counting it as my day 5 since I'm all mixed up here.

Day 5: Research a womenly topic. I let my friend McKenna do all the research for me and I read her research paper about childbirth in the Victorian Era. It was a pretty fascinating paper. Needless to say, women should not be sacrificing comfort and health during childbirth in order to appear more ladylike for the men in the delivery room. Why they ever thought that delivering babies with the woman on her back (natural childbirth here, no epidural) is beyond me. I'm soooo glad that women today have so many options for how they would like to experience childbirth. I'm glad women aren't pressured by society (as much) to always appear dainty and elegant, even while they are experiencing great pain (aka childbirth).

Day 6: Start a journal. I actually consider this blog my journal. I'd love to write more, but for now I'm happy to record my thoughts and experiences here. It is my intention to add little tidbits about my life, memories, hopes, setbacks, etc. in this blog so it can be like a journal for me. 

Day 7: Update your resume: Done! Man, I look good on paper. :)
