: Dear Friends~
: I know it's taken me almost 3 weeks, but I finally finshed our birth story and have uploaded some of the pictures. You can visit the website below. The birth story is long--but you asked for all of the details (if you already know about all of the pre-birth details you can skip that section). The button to the birth story is at the very bottom of the page. We'd love to have your signature in our guestbook. I'll be updating the guestbook later this week.
: Tight hugs to all,

Hello Teacher,
Congratualtions! You indeed have a VERY beautiful little baby. I saw your website. I did not get a chance to read your entire birth story, but I gathered that you had to have a C-section right at the end, when you were almost done labouring, right? That is sad because you get to feel the pain of natural birth as well the trauma of surgery. But on the positive side you have seen both sides of the fence and you know exactly what each experience entails.
When my mom had me it was a VBAC - so I'm living proof that it can happen. I hope that it will happen for you too.
I commend you for going med free during labour. I did it with both my kids and I know how much will power and endurance it takes. The second time around when I was about 8-9 cm dilated I was begging for an epidural because I couldn't stand it any longer, but it was too late for one, anyway. Lucky for me, I did not spoil my track record of having a natural drug free labour both times!
I wish your little angel a wonderful life ahead! It is amazing how children are the greatest gifts from God.
