In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ellie of @chicago_north_shore_moms is sharing her incredible and personal journey.💕
.
After losing several family members, including her own mom at age 39 (when Ellie was just 12) she eventually decided to be tested for the BRCA gene, and found out she was positive. In this inspiring story she shares her decision to get a preventive double mastectomy and oophorectomy (ovary removal). Read why she says “I feel so much freer...not that I can’t get sick but it no longer consumes me” and why she considers herself one to be one of the lucky ones, at link in bio.☝️

Yesterday I ran a leg of the Baltimore Marathon at @baltimorerunfest with one of my oldest friends! She and I met riding horses as teenagers and got in touch again a few years after college. It was so fun to catch up with her and to be part of such a fun event! Plus I made some new friends as I didn’t know either of the other runners on our team 🏃‍♀️ .
.
And it was such a great reminder of why I love the running community. I’m a slower runner and always have been, but being a little slower gives me time to pay attention I to all the support and kindness around me. There were so many people that came out to cheer and even some that worked their way towards the quieter areas of the course where they may have been the ONLY one cheering! Many were giving out free goodies to the runners too, from Swedish fish to fresh oranges. I also saw runners helping each other along the way. Encouraging those that were showing some pain or just plain exhaustion. Some sharing gels and goos and salt tablets. It’s why I keep signing our races even though I’m slow and really don’t like running haha. Because the experience is challenging but so rewarding, for so many reasons beyond just the personal accomplishment of finishing!

Thank you Baltimore for an awesome day! And thank you @phillipsseafood for some crab soup 🦀 afterwards and @dogfishhead for the perfect recovery beer 🍻 .

Those last few weeks of pregnancy can be a range of emotions, different for everyone. I know I was so excited in some moments, then totally terrified in others, and sometimes just totally over it.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
But I knew I wanted to be as prepared as possible for my daughters arrival, which I knew meant having a plan for when the time came. And again, where to start? My biggest questions were:⁠
.⁠
🔸What is a birth plan and how do I even begin to write one?⁠
🔸What’s a doula and how would one help?⁠
🔸What is a midwife? How is a midwife different from a doctor/OB in the birthing process?⁠
🔸Can I have a doula and a midwife?⁠
🔸Can I have a doula and a doctor/OB?⁠
