Hi everybody! Just wanted to share that my second son was born May 16, 2003 and we are just delighted to have him. He weighed 9 lb. 13 oz. and although I pushed forever and his shoulders got stuck in my pelvis, he left me with only a superficial tear which I chose not to have repaired. We had planned a waterbirth, and although I used the tub during labor and tried to birth in it, I couldn't get a good pushing position and so ended up actually delivering in the bed. I was so happy to go into labor spontaneously (thanks, full moon!!!), to labor in a variety of positions with my husband as involved as could be (he had to dig into my lower back because I was having back labor the whole time), and to birth naturally with no drugs. It was quite a different experience from my first birth (induction/epidural/episiotomy). Hurt a heck of a lot more, of course, but left me with more of a feeling of empowerment, and I seemed to recover so much faster. Anyway he is just as sweet as can be, with a head full of gorgeous copper hair and a pair of big beautiful eyes, which are slate gray now but will turn light blue like everyone else's in our family. Big brother adores him and kisses him constantly; he always wants to hold him and have a "group hug." We feel blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Lord!
