Taking On The World

I am happy to introduce to you...

I'm sorry for not updating this in a really long time. I was struggling with some things and I decided to go a different route and not let it hold me back from updating any longer. Thanks for all the love on this story!

If you haven't already go listen to Sabrina's new album.

I am so happy to introduce to you...

Maya adjusted the camera making sure it was at the right angle before sitting down to film. She checked herself out in the view finder fixing her hair and making sure everything looked perfect before grabbing the remote and pushing record.

"Hey everyone, long time no see!" she shouted, smiling into the camera. "I know I disappeared and left you guys hanging for a few weeks so we have a lot to catch up on. First, yes, I'm back blonde. I went back blonde now a little over two months ago. I pre-filmed some videos so my last few videos you saw were brunette pregnant Maya before I went completely M.I.A. but now you have blonde Maya back and second" she smiled before standing up and showing her now flat stomach. "Not only am I blonde but I'm no longer pregnant. I had my baby," she grinned, patting her stomach. "And you guys she is so beautiful," she gushed, with the biggest smile, sitting back down. "And I can't wait to show her to you guys," she said in awe. "Josh is with her right now and is going to join us with her in any second after he gets her all dressed up to show you, but I thought I would start and catch up with you guys while he is doing that. So, we kept her birth to ourselves for a little bit and I know you guys were counting down and knew I had to have had her by now because I saw the comments but we wanted to enjoy our time together and adjust to being parents but I thought it was time to let you guys in."

Maya adjusted herself to be more comfortable. She took in a deep breath ready to relive the days it took to bring her daughter into the world.

"You try to prepare yourself the best you can by taking classes and reading books and makings plans. You dream of this amazing birth and I looked at my best friend and how both of her births went and how she made it look so easy and adjusted so well to motherhood and I can tell you my birth experience and my journey so far in motherhood has been nothing like hers. My birth was long and hard and motherhood hasn't been the easiest for me,' Maya opened up to her audience honestly. "I'll do another video about my journey in motherhood so far but right now let's talk about my birth experience and introduce you guys to my little girl."

Maya took a sip of her water before starting.

"I went into labor at thirty-seven weeks and six days but I had her at thirty-eight weeks. Yes, I was in labor for close to forty hours and it was brutal," she said, closing her eyes and wincing as she thought about the pain. "My contractions were really long but they didn't reach the five minutes long and five minutes in-between or whatever it needs to be and I wanted to labor at home as much as I could. I was in the comfort of my parent's home. We were still at my parents and I was making Josh and my dad a nervous wrack," she laughed at the memory.

Maya groaned in pain, leaning over and resting her arms and head on the arm of the couch as Josh stood beside her resting a hand on her upper back, resting his head against hers.

Shawn sat across from her on the chair as his legs bounce up and down. "Should we take her to the hospital?" he asked no one in particular but hoping someone would give him an answer as he watched Maya in pain.

Katy shook her head as she moved to sit down the furthest away from the young couple on the couch giving them a little space. "It's not time. Her contractions aren't close enough together and her water hasn't broke so there is no reason to take her yet. They would just send her back home and tell her to come back later. How long has she been having contractions?"
