good for you, wow to tell your story to a paper==you know how we like to tell our birth stories! i just had my first home birth==after having 3 at the hospital, well lets just say if doing it again i might get a diff. midwife but i would never WANT to go to the hospital again. so nice to not worry about doctor stuff. it was a huge blessing to our whole fam.!
I wussed out and had an epidural with my daughter. I am a wimp, I'll admit it.
However, comparing her birth experience to my son's (my first child) I could have run a marathon after I had Lauren. With Josh, I felt like a bus ran over me for weeks afterward. (his birth was drug free and I tore A LOT) Ironically, both weighed well over nine pounds and were otherwise uneventful pregnancies.
You were brave to have Zoe without the assistance of anyone but your husband. I would be too much of a chicken to do that.
Your girls are absolutely lovely!
Don't miss out on a blessing, just because it isn't packaged the way you expected. ~MaryJo Copeland
