I am scared of pain so I get one but I freak out just before because its so scary. I LOVED reading Ollies birth story and thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Congrats again ! He is adorable!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099318984115958465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-43041257324060120732011-12-12T12:32:38.762-07:002011-12-12T12:32:38.762-07:00loved reading your story, so awesome that you go n...loved reading your story, so awesome that you go natural each time.

I might as well have not had one. They gave me 3 and none of them worked. So it was all Pitocin + no epidurals. Blah. Anyway, this is YOUR story...<br /><br />That pic of you and Ollie right after he was born is perfect. So beautiful. And of course the one with his brothers. <br />He looks like a sweetie. I can't believe it's already been 2 months!Hailey @ Me and My Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287682374631377030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-72527578648909714742011-12-10T20:36:23.038-07:002011-12-10T20:36:23.038-07:00oh, sorry about that. two comments from me.oh, sorry about that. two comments from me.robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871690783897028697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-76473522015687767882011-12-10T20:36:01.164-07:002011-12-10T20:36:01.164-07:00oh man, i love birth stories. especially well-wri...oh man, i love birth stories. especially well-written, funny stories like this. and oh my gosh, you couldn't have explained it any better about not tearing. i've done both, and i tell you, recovery from tearing is THE WORST. so, good job on not tearing! i'll embroider that on a pillow for you.<br /><br />oliver is ADORABLE!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871690783897028697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-58188640619046962222011-12-10T20:35:37.519-07:002011-12-10T20:35:37.519-07:00oh man, i love birth stories. especially well-wri...oh man, i love birth stories. especially well-written, funny stories like this. and oh my gosh, you couldn't have explained it any better about not tearing. i've done both, and i tell you, recovery from tearing is THE WORST. so, good job on not tearing! i'll embroider that on a pillow for you.<br /><br />oliver is ADORABLE!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871690783897028697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-30971928399200327262011-12-10T18:15:25.955-07:002011-12-10T18:15:25.955-07:00Yay!!!! I have been waiting and waiting! I for one...Yay!!!! I have been waiting and waiting! I for one, love the nitty gritty details, and am fascinated to hear any amount of information that is divulged. This birth sounds so much like Isaac's birth. Even in transition and pushing my contractions were 5 minutes apart. So weird, I didn't know that ever happened. Same situation where my second labor was shorter, and I was expecting a short third, but it was long. It is so discouraging to look at the clock and watch the time which you were sure you would have a baby come, and pass. Love the animal roar, and the mint. OH, and not tearing. Holy cow, makes ALL the difference in the world. Recovery is nothin'. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think pretty seriously about the epidural for next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-23304174421982741392011-12-10T17:22:38.407-07:002011-12-10T17:22:38.407-07:00i generally don't like reading birth stories. ...i generally don't like reading birth stories. mostly because some people go WAAAAAAY into detail and there are some things I'd rather just be a surprise when I get around to having a baby. but - i loved your thoughts and little glimpses into Ollie's birth. and i had to laugh at the shouting from the rooftops/posting it on a blog thing. so true. who knows what lurkers are reading these private things? i'm glad i got to!jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585774854581037963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-1135089623675314232011-12-10T16:20:57.343-07:002011-12-10T16:20:57.343-07:00that was lovely. just lovely.that was lovely. just lovely.makimaki75https://www.blogger.com/profile/02700018307943538241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063188266066151832.post-15754769266872501992011-12-10T15:20:29.837-07:002011-12-10T15:20:29.837-07:00I LOVE this.
