I was born in '86 and was 27 days late; apparently even as recently as 25 years ago they 'allowed' that. They did finally give my mother an unusual amount of petocin to get me here but I was healthy as can be. If I have children I hope for the same experience, a natural, unhampered birth. Congratulations to you and your husband for a very handsome son!

Its amazing the subconscious things that happen when you are pregnant (ie: waiting for daddy to show up). :) So glad you had the natural birth you desired. God is good. And personally, there is nothing better than that feeling of baby coming, naturally! Kinda makes you feel like "Mighty Woman" for doing it the way God designed (no offense meant to those that go with other medical interventions, just my opinion). He looks absolutely beautiful and you have a wonderful husband that also advocates strongly for you (while you can barely think past the next ctx). No better support than that! Hope you continue to enjoy all those sleepless nights, baby coos and cries, and dirty diapers. They go too fast, believe me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
