Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Is this the Jan from the birth? That's the only one I know, I think. lol

Wow, thank you so much for sharing!

I actually really needed to see something like this today. (bit bummed)

Thank you! Well I hoped that it helped you out, then. Feel better! *hugs*

"Rationally, I'd known that transition is pretty much when every woman wants to wuss out. It's the deer-in-the-headlights feeling - the moment just before surrender, when you haven't quite accepted the power."

Thats the best description I've seen of transition. Nail on the head :)

Beautiful story, graet pictures, thank you for sharing!!!! :D

Thanks, Willow! I haven't seen Nedia much on LJ either, but I shall hunt her down and tell her you miss her. :)

A beautiful story, that brought tears to my eyes. With every pre-natal massage I give, I find myself leaning towards becoming a Doula. Truly an amazing journey into your baby's birth. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! I hope you look into it if you feel called to it. You'd make an awesome doula. It's wonderful, but often hard, work. Still, it's a wonderful feeling to be in the presence of a woman birthing.

If you ever have any questions about it or anything, I'm always happy to talk birth. :)

*sniffle* I wish mine had been that successful. (I really wanted a water birth, but it wasn't available at the hospital I was at at the time.)

ahavah August 13 2007, 23:21:00 UTC

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you! Will there be a next time?

Ivy's waterbirth didn't work out either, but I'll try to share that Wednesday. :)

jenny_evergreen August 14 2007, 13:51:15 UTC

We're working on it. :)

ahavah August 14 2007, 14:39:47 UTC

I hope you get a chance for an awesome waterbirth, then!
