I wish I could have made it longer and please let him cry so I know that his lungs actually developed and work.

First: Baby boy, please cry, and I'm so sorry my crappy liver and kidneys couldn't hold out longer.
Second: Crying when her head was born, after dire predictions and truly crappy EFM tracings; do we really know anything about OB?

First: Hurry up and start the c-section, i don't like being numb and waiting, i have a daughter (!), i am a momma!
Second: It wasn't supposed to happen like this, we both could have done it if anyone had believed in us
Third: Triumphant vba2c tinged with sadness of it not being the gentle, drug-free homebirth that i wanted for us.

I've never felt so strong, powerful, exhilerated, blissful, and in love in all my life.

What I said was, "People don't have 12 lb babies."
But, to sum it up....
Wonderful, peaceful, unexpected, and over the top fabulous.

I can sum all three up in one word:
Hoo-ah!
They were all very different, but they all had the same outcome and so I am happy. If you must have a sentence.

#1 - I wouldn't want to that again tomorrow, but maybe the next day.
#2 - Thank God it was short, I couldn't have lasted any long on that little sleep.
#3 - Hmm, I thought I was supposed to labor before she came?
