It's been really helpful to me as I prepare and wait for this girl to arrive. I read it through once again around the time we started our childbirth class and reading it again now is extra helpful. Just trying to wrap my mind around all of the different things that might happen. I'm feeling ready. And I'm glad you documented this so I could read it from such a good friend instead of just another birth story from a stranger. Love you girl.Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965051173316033057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-40549581150310094212013-03-15T22:58:46.566-05:002013-03-15T22:58:46.566-05:00Sweet Girl.

I remember everything. Laying on my side, small parts down, to speed up labor, camelback contractions, complete with the shakes, and I remember "Hi Jenny" when this sweet face showed up in the light, posterior, but perfect. <br /><br />Blessings to you, Bethany and your sweet Tim. God's wonderful blessings on you and your family!Smrkdrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946099619576975251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-59588364457320970642013-01-30T08:02:56.801-06:002013-01-30T08:02:56.801-06:00i LOVED reading this! she is so beautiful. thank y...i LOVED reading this! she is so beautiful. thank you for sharing! - brittanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-43833583171557242362013-01-24T00:25:48.249-06:002013-01-24T00:25:48.249-06:00Loved this! love you! love your baby! hugs all ar...Loved this! love you! love your baby! hugs all around! xoxo SusieSusienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-35844485692802999572013-01-19T18:16:18.316-06:002013-01-19T18:16:18.316-06:00You are one incredible mama!

I'm two weeks-ish away from delivering a baby girl, and we have been planning and preparing for a natural birth. Reading this has brought many tears to my eyes, and I'm so thankful for the candidness and openness of your story. A thousand congratulations to you and Tim (I knew him a bit at Moody) and thanks again for your willingness to share.

I am so sorry for swearing! But holy mother (!!!) labor is the worst thing I can think of & I was as drugged as I could get! I literally cannot even fathom the strength & determination it took to do what you did! It's amazing! <br /><br />The part where you found out she was a girl? I cried. Big ole mommy tears. <br /><br />Congrats, congrats, congrats! I hope our girls can meet! <br /><br />You did it!!!!!Kirrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087806734364787042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-49580125455802421642013-01-18T21:47:51.956-06:002013-01-18T21:47:51.956-06:00You did so beautifully - both in the birth itself ...You did so beautifully - both in the birth itself and in its retelling. I kind of want to go back and read it again. :) She is the loveliest. Just the loveliest. I found that just a few months after Lila's birth I had completely forgotten how hard it was and started telling people how much I "enjoyed labor." The people in the room at her birth (I had a crowd) tell me their memories suggest otherwise, but I think they're wrong. All I remember is the relief, the thrill, the joy of meeting my daughter. I'm pretty sure the rest is erased from my consciousness. Sending so much love to you all! Please come to KC soon so we can see that lovely little Liesel.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948863454023773611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802298212852236479.post-61173101840061113772013-01-18T21:30:38.728-06:002013-01-18T21:30:38.728-06:00all I can say is, I am so happy for you three. :)all I can say is, I am so happy for you three. :)Hannah Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591201948135426218noreply@blogger.com
