Hi Sara! I was briefly on V...Thanks so much guys!!<br /><br />Hi Sara! I was briefly on VIP a longgg time ago. Congratulations on your little boy! How exciting! You will do amazing! I was totally inspired by Katie's birth of Van and the twins. The labor isn't what people say it is, just go with what your body is telling you to do and you will be just fine! There are some intense parts and some points when I thought "how much longer??" but it truly went by so quickly and having someone there with you to keep you company and help you stay calm will be key. Also, utilize the shower/tub! I stayed in the shower the whole time. Also, I kept reminding myself that each contraction put me one step further to meeting the baby. It's amazing how powerful your mind can be! Let's keep in touch for sure :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762126449401149486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481902393967225895.post-31577281121239944892010-07-11T11:52:20.787-05:002010-07-11T11:52:20.787-05:00tara- i think you used to be on VIP, right? i lin...tara- i think you used to be on VIP, right? i linked to your blog from katie's. anyway, your birth story is absolutely awesome and you did such a fantastic job! your story is pretty much what i hope for the birth of my baby boy (in about a month!). i'll be having him at a birthing center too! also, i love your post where you're telling about the woman who came into your store and was sharing her negative birth story and what you said about your confidence in your body. i feel the exact same way!! i'm so glad the birth of your beautiful daughter was so wonderful. good to read such an inspiring story!!Sara Siteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011976050893715294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481902393967225895.post-64738384386115531752010-07-06T20:12:33.081-05:002010-07-06T20:12:33.081-05:00I almost cried reading this. I loved reading ever...I almost cried reading this. I loved reading every moment of your experience. I'm a big fan of doing things the natural way, so I'll be sure to reference you for this when the time comes for me.<br /><br />Hey if my mama could do it twice in one day, I think I can too, but hearing so much about the pain... I'm gonna just read your story when I start to freak out.Jessica Mackeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481902393967225895.post-48773622087779880492010-07-06T16:06:33.347-05:002010-07-06T16:06:33.347-05:00So proud of you and Mike.....especially you!
