It’s almost dahlia planting season!! Here’s ho It’s almost dahlia planting season!! Here’s how I take cuttings from my most special tubers to increase stock early in the season! Taking cuttings = free plants 🙌

1. About 4-6 weeks before your last frost start “waking up” the tubers you want to take cuttings from by bringing them into a warmer space than what they were being store at. I bring mine in from about 45-50° to 70-75° in order to wake them.

2. Pot up those special tubers vertically leaving the neck and crown part above the soil level. The crown is where the eyes/future stems grow from!

3. Put them under grow lights and keep the room temperature around 70-75°, I don’t water tubers until I see green growth.

4. Wait (and check on them 78726894 times a day if you’re like me) while the eyes turn into stems with leaves and get super excited because it’s time to cut!

5. This should take about 3-4ish weeks under the grow lights, when the stems have 2-3 sets of leaves take a sharp, sterilized knife and cut the stem from the tuber as close as possible to the crown from which its growing from.

6. Remove the bottom set of leaves gently from the stem so you have about two inches bare.

7. Dip in some rooting hormone and pop the stem into a new 4” pot filled with nutrient-rich potting soil. You want to make sure it’s down under the soil surface about 1”. Pat down gently around the base to make sure the cutting is in there securely.

8. Water them in well and put the pots back under the grow lights in a warm area. Check on them daily, once they root they’ll need lots of water!

9. Plant tubers and cuttings outside once all danger of frost has passed. I take about 3-4 cutting per tuber per season and still plant them outside afterwards and STILL get beautiful, lush dahlia plants!

Shared a few intimate and pure moments in stories to show what it looks like to parent after loss, he’s not here physically but still very much a part of our family. I will say, the capacity for love and compassion our living kids have (at just 2 and 5 years old) really blows me away 🥹 Parenting after loss is a whole whirlwind of confusing, conflicting emotions. Am I doing enough to honor my baby? Am I doing too much? Am I grieving too much and therefore not paying enough attention to my living kids? Is the random mom rage grief or overstimulation or something else?? I’m so proud of the compassion, love and empathy my kids show and I’m sad they know it at such young ages. It’s confusing. It’s unfair. It’s hard. There are no rules, and there’s definitely no baby loss handbook. The days and anniversaries associated with baby loss can be overwhelming and confusing too. Sometimes I feel like keeping it simple and keeping it completely private, other times I feel like publicly honoring our baby. If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey it’s that there truly are no rules in grief. You just do what feels right in that given moment. We miss you always baby Liam 💗

-Alfred Austin

That about sums it up! Why I garden, in a nutshell. Gardening has been a passion of mine for many years and became something that I dove even deeper into after experiencing the  devastating loss of our baby and the grief journey that has followed. I feel calm and at home and wild and free in the garden, yet planned and poised and in control. In short, gardening changed my life, and saved my life – it has given me profound peace and purpose and there’s nowhere I’d rather  be than with my hands in the dirt, head in the sun and heart in nature 🌿

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow 💐🌿🌷 One of my all time favorite gardening quotes, to plant a garden truly is to have hope for the future. Even looking forward to the tiniest things like watching a seed sprout or waiting for a bud to bloom. It’s the little things, and gardening does that for me, especially when hope and talking about the future can feel hard. 

So this your sign to grow all the things this year! I have many blog posts on my site that can help and if you’re local to NY I’m teaching a gardening course later this month, more info on my farm page @wildirisflowertruck 🌿

C-Section Awareness Month

April 26, 2019 / Mom & Baby

C-Section Awareness Month

C-Section Awareness Month

April is C-section awareness month, so let’s talk C-sections. I had an unplanned cesarean with my son in February 2018.

There is too much shame and stigma attached to C-sections in our society and I hope to help break that. We should be proud of our bodies no matter which way we brought our babies into the world.

Belly birth is birth.

If you knew me while I was pregnant you know that I loved it, I was truly in my element. I felt great, felt beautiful, loved what my body was doing, loved feeling the life inside me, and was in awe of the power of women.

I was actually excited for labor (crazy, right?); I couldn’t wait to experience it and I couldn’t wait to experience a vaginal delivery. I watched birthing videos, took tons of classes, strengthened my body to prepare for birth, visualized my birthing experience, you name it I did it for the sake of preparation.

April is C-section awareness month and NY blogger, Christine Covino, is sharing her story and tips for battling the shame that comes with unplanned cesareans.

On average, 30% of births are C-sections in the US. I would love to see that number go down but my perspective is also forever changed and I am so grateful they exist.

Don’t get me wrong, I knew the stats on C-sections (approx. 30% of births in the US are C’s), and it was written into my birth plan (or “birth preferences” as I like to call it) as a decision we’d make if it became medically necessary. But, if you had asked me while I was pregnant it was the farthest thing from my mind. I focused on staying positive and preparing to give my child an easy welcome into this world.

SIDE NOTE: I feel so naive when I think back to my pre-C-section thoughts about C-sections. Previously, I had thought the majority of C-sections that happen in our country are not medically necessary (and I do still think a portion of them aren’t) however, my perspective is changed forever after my experience. I am so grateful I had an amazing team of doctors, nurses, my doula, and husband to aid in our decision, and I know many, many women are not that lucky. But after going through what I went through, I no longer think the majority are unnecessary, or that the mothers are having sections against their wills. I think most (note, I say most, not all) doctors today are making the best calls they possibly can to keep mom and baby safe and healthy, and for that I am grateful.

Luca had other plans…

After 36 hours of labor, little progression and his heart rate plummeting, the C-section became medically necessary for us (read Luca’s full birth story HERE).

At first, this was extremely hard to accept. Feelings of defeat, guilt, failure, frustration, jealousy, regret, you name it, consumed my first few days of motherhood. I didn’t have those initial elated moments of connection, it took me weeks to bond with my son. That guilt specifically has been one of the hardest things for me to overcome.

What was wrong with me? How could I not be immediately enamored with him? Where was that instant unconditional love??

Throw those emotions on top of being in intense physical pain (I could barely move), and I could have really gone down a deep, dark hole. I was a mess, and for those first days, I was in a very dark place. I was jealous of mothers who had the experience I longed for and was so disappointed in my body.

April is C-section awareness month and NY blogger, Christine Covino, is sharing her story and tips for battling the shame that comes with unplanned cesareans.

I am not telling you this so you can feel sympathetic, and I’m not telling this to scare you. On the contrary, I want to talk about my experience as a positive one.

A ‘not ideal” experience that I was able to turn around for the better and become SO thankful for and empowered by. My hope is that if it happens to you, you too can eventually feel the same positive feelings about your experience.

Here’s what helped me get through it…

WE LIVED.

We survived. I can’t even think about what could have happened had we not been in a time and place where C-sections exist. And I know that not all birth stories have a happy ending so again, I am deeply humbled and grateful that we were both ok.

It Was Out of My Hands

Finally understanding and accepting that I could not control every last part of my birthing experience really helped me get through the negative emotions and shame. This was meant to be, it was always the way Luca was going to enter this world and ultimately, it was in God’s hands. There is a certain peace in letting go, that’s just what I did.

I Mourned the Birth I Had Envisioned

Just like any ending or any death, I mourned the birth I thought I would have. I made my peace with it and I moved on, there was no use in clinging to that vision when the entire experience was out of my control.

I Listened to Other Women’s Positive C-Section Birth Stories

This is something I should have done during pregnancy when I was only watching/listening to vaginal births. I just wish I had known more about what to expect instead of being thrown in there cold turkey. C-Section birth prep should be just as much a part of vaginal birth prep classes. A few friends of mine did not prepare at all, and of course to each their own, but for me, the more I knew the more prepared and confident I felt.

I FORGAVE myself.

I forgave myself for feeling all the feelings and that led me to a place of acceptance and ultimately pride and empowerment. I am a badass freaking warrior woman – not because I had a C-section – but because I GAVE BIRTH. Created and brought new life into this world, my pride and joy to this day. Having a C-section makes you no less of a mother, it does not define you, it does not define your subsequent births, oh, and it’s definitely NOT THE EASY WAY OUT (to the person who said that to me🙄).

I Accepted Our Story

Finally, I got to that place of acceptance. I accepted that this was my destiny, that this was always the way Luca was going to be brought into this world. He was wrapped up so tightly in the umbilical cord, “tangled” as the doctor said. And it kills me to think that he was in pain during our labor, but I find peace in knowing the C-section saved both of our lives.

This is my story, this is Luca’s story, and I’m damn proud of it.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times: I am thankful for my cesarean and PROUD of my body. You should be too, no matter how you gave birth!!

Vaginal

Induced

At home

Emergency C

Planned C

Unplanned C

Find your peace in the acceptance and know that you are a damn rockstar mama.

    I too loved being pregnant. I felt like a badass. I felt ready to rock my labor. I had worked with my doula to do a natural vaginal birth but my son had other ideas.

    He refused to flip head down. I did everything under the son including daily exercises for a month. So we as a last result tried manual inversion and that caused my blood pressure to skyrocket and never return to normal.
    So for his safety and mine I had a c-section.

    My doula at my request had previously walked me thru the procedure but I was so disappointed that I didn’t get to try vaginal labor.

    I made the rare decision to have my doula in my delivery room vs a spouse and it was the best choose ever. She kept me calm and breathing and explained everything they were doing behind the curtain. Due to my calmness, i needed less meds and they were able to sew me back together in record time.

    I am so thankful for modern medical technology as it saved both our lives. Yeah for c-sections!

      Wow our stories are so similar, at least in how we handled our pregnancy and birth experiences! I actually used the techniques I learned for hypnobirthing during my c-section and a few times during some hard recovery and breastfeeding moments! I am so so thankful for modern medicine, it saved our lives too!

    This posts just totally resonates with me ! I was in the exact same place as you … dreaming of a vaginal birth and only reading vaginal birth experiences before… I prepped as much as I could to have a natural, w/o epidural birth. Of course, it did not go as planned, and I got an emergency C-section. I’ve come to accept it, and I am so grateful people are here to practice those interventions too. I only wish I wasn’t so stubborn and blindsided before ^^. No matter how you gave birth, you are a rockstar like you said. And for nothing in the world would I change the birth of my son Lucas ( yes I also have one ;)).
    Thank you for saying those things out loud :).

      How crazy that our experiences were so similar and our boys’ names too!? At the end of the day having a healthy baby and mom is all that matters, I understand that now and am so so insanely grateful!! Thank you for reading and sharing your story <3
