Hey - I think it sounds like you had a wonderful birth! : If I KNEW pit & an epi for sure wouldn't lead to tearing, forceps, etc., I'd pick that in a HEARTBEAT!!!!! Enjoy your babymoon, mama!

Congrats! Your labour sounds pretty much like my first. Not entirely satisfying but then again, pain free, controlled pushing and minimal tearing.

This experience looks a lot better on video than it actually was. Weird... but my older kids are supercute at the end!

Congratulations! And I just have to say that I loved your video...the "soap opera death bed" comment gave me a nice chuckle! I might even consider filming my birth as it was so nice to see and hear your comments as the labor progressed!

Little Helen is adorable! Yay!
