Part Six: Birth… Try this at home!

by Mrs. Smith on October 28, 2009

I’m kind of wondering why I spent so much time writing about the experience when the pictures do such a great job by themselves…
Many, many thanks to my wonderful mother for being there.
And for bringing her camera!!!
there for me.  :)

Not as easy as I make it look.  ;)

Love my homebirth.  Loved everything about it.  Except maybe the crazy post-partum mood swings.  Wheeeeeee!  (SO glad that’s over!)

And guess what!  Now that it’s all thoroughly documented I can stop suffering and write that symphony.
Or maybe watch Singin’ in the Rain again.
Or at least move on to write the other fantastic and fascinating posts coming to a blog near you.

Yay for pictures! We should
coordinate our singing in the rain
watching…

Sing w/ me – Moses supposes….

I’ve always wanted to try a water
birth. Glad you got to try it for me.

Just finished reading all six posts and all I have to say is wow! I am terrified of giving birth someday, especially knowing I am very likely to have complications. I’m glad you have had four great experiences!
