I loved your story and recounted some of it to my husband as I smiled. :) You did a great job.

I also recounted some of your story to my fiance! I specifically felt for you when you said that you had a baby in your vagina.. it hit home, as that is what is most obvious in my mind right now as we discuss how to "get this baby out" today

Congratulations!! We're right behind ya =P

Awww, great story! Congratulations! :D

I remember not knowing how I was supposed to react! I felt so much pressure because EVERYONE was watching for a reaction! I wound up touching his cheek with my finger and that single move was able to aid me in getting him to sleep for the first year. Awesome! :D

I'm so glad you were able to be able to birth with so much support! Very refreshing! :D
