The very first day of this month started out with my name in the media, and it seems that the theme of infamy fame has continued to persist. Let’s take a look at who awesome my month as been thus far…
March 1st: Chicago Tribune posts article on my VBAC titled “Fighting for a VBAC.” Smart people from around the country come to defend my choice in the comments section. Rawk.
March 3rd: The Crosley-Corcorans enter homes across the land through our “Radical Parenting” special on Discovery Health. Thousands of visitors flock to my blog to tell me how much I rule (and of course a few homophobic misogynists said I suck, but those people suck, so screw them, HA!)
March 9th: Rita Rubin tells my VBAC story to a room full of doctors, scientists, birth activists, and even the President of the ACOG himself. (see it below)
March 11: RH Reality Check publishes my article titled “Once a Cesarean, Rarely a Choice” – which gets syndicated to many other sites, including Alternet, DailyKos, and The Seminal. I’m told by those who know me best that it’s the best thing I’ve ever written, and I humbly agree. 
March 11th: Ricki Lake shares my article. I nearly die of pride.
March 12th: Northwestern’s Medill News Service publishes a thorough piece on VBACs called “Women Struggle to Avoid Serial C-Sections”, and again, my VBAC story is included in it – with audio (and I’m crying in it… oy.) They say it has also been picked up by Chicago Parent magazine. Holy Big Deal Batman.
March 13th: Ricki Lake follows me on Twitter – and so you know, she is not a twitter whore. She follows approximately 0.01% of the people who follow her (I’m not kidding – 223/21,000).
And some of the greatest news of all this month is that I managed to survive the Stats and Psyc classes that I whined about all over Facebook and Twitter, and even managed to finagle a score of over 95% in each class, which means I get to keep my 4.0 GPA (and do not ask me how I pulled those A’s off when I STILL cannot calculate a Confidence Interval so I have NO idea why I got those scores and I’m beginning to think this whole 4.0 thing is just a dream that I will wake up from soon —- or, I could just be so good that I don’t even know how good I am, which is an equally frightening thought.)
Also, I made some Super-Tastic awesome friends at the NIH VBAC conference, and I know you’re all asking why the hell I have not written a million posts about that whole trip but the truth is there’s just so much to write about, I don’t even know where to begin. I have a draft started, and I promity-promise I’ll get something published soon.
Now I just need to get pregnant this month, and then March 2010 may go down as the Greatest Month in the History of the World.
Oh, and your boys are ADORABLE
