What an awesome birth story! Your description of the pubic pain is scaring me- I've had HORRIBLE SPD this whole pregnancy and I am all too familiar with that grinding feeling you spoke of- I just hope I don't get it in labor, eek! The idea of having the nasty SPD pain during labor has scared me the whole time.
Meridian is beautiful, that yawning picture of her is the cutest thing I have seen in a LONG time. Good going, mama- you have a beautiful family

Congratulations again!
