Here's why I'm amazing...

I birthed this precious baby boy
with my even more amazing husband

and wonderful best friend

by my side...
coaching me, breathing with me and reminding me that I was almost there...through every single contraction...sin drugs. And I think that makes me pretty darn amazing!!

Wanna hear the story...I need to jot it down anyway so why not here...
A dr. appt Wednesday morning showed my fluid level where baby was very content was low and probably the best thing to do would be to go ahead and give things a nudge. Excitedly...finally knowing we could meet our mystery baby...we headed home for a few things and met back up at 2 for the festivities to begin. I placed a much needed phone call to my dearest Cassie...who I had made tentative plans with to be at my birth...she made that work and jumped in her car and came all the way from Dallas. She arrived in perfect time for everything. My water was broke at 6pm. Things were immediately under way. My darling husband made all things possible. He never left my side, massaging my back the entire time, offering only encouraging words. To say that I couldn't have done this without him would be a definite understatement. 8pm...dilated to 6cm...things are getting tough...lets just be honest...did I mention I'm still drug free. 9ish...HELP!!!...Why did I make this decision?...This is crazy! Alll the while hearing "You're almost there, You're doing sooooooooo great"...from my peeps. In comes the dr...she's amazing too...want a good natural birth dr...see me! Decked out in full scrubs...I guess she knew more than me! I was there! 10 minutes later, a few bloody murder screams later, and a few sappy faces later...out came our newest child!! There are a few other details...like how the mr. and I entered our own birthing world...and how I'm still left feeling a deeper connection to him...not that it was possible but feeling more in love with that man, and how breathing in a funny sounding way really works and how a birthing ball was the greatest thing to have...just to name a few. Excited somber words of "It's a boy, It's a boy" came from the Mr. We did it! I knew what I wanted but had surrendered to the inevitable in case things went astray. Guess what else...I walked myself to my postpartum room. And that's amazing too! OK...so maybe that doesn't count for any huge awards...but around here to us...
I'm amazing! :)

And now today...My spirit feels in tact like no other...I sit here...calmer and more content than ever, loving that my family grew by 2 more feet, loving even more how much our children are in love with their new sweet brother...

...whom by the way has the sweetest spirit ever (I'll tell you more about him soon)...I couldn't possibly ask for anything more. We're blessed beyond belief! I told you...I could have 100 babies...oh wait...I might change my mind this week when the Mr. goes back to work....NAH! Not possible!
