We cook up this babe inside us for 9 months and go through all that work to get this little human out of us, and in the end, it is just perfection. It's amazing how everyone's birth stories are so different too. I just finished doing Charlie's birth story, so reading your's made me realize how unique everyone's is. I'm so happy everything worked out well for you (ie. pain meds!!) and your baby James is beautiful!

I wish I would have known before hand and embraced it more. Kinda cool when you think about it.

At least my epidural never wore off with Olivia. With Axel it took like 24 hours after he was born to wear off! He was born so fast maybe I didn't need one??? Who knows, better safe than sorry! But this makes me think maybe my next one will be totally different. You just never know! And I "live tweeted" my labor with Axel but it was just a bunch of tweets about food. I was sooooooooo hungry. And I totally did push that baby out in time for dinner haha!

I'm glad that everything and everyone turned out good in the end with no real drama - though the shakes and and all that you went through does not sound fun.

Even...I've been waiting so long to finish this. Even though it seemed horrible, and you were thinking about how hungry you were (girl I was sooo ready to eat when I finally had our daughter) I bet now it's such a memory. I feel like after the first week all the pain, from my epidural only effecting one leg, was forgotten. Especially after you heal, it's like it never really happened. I remember wanting to punch my nurse when she told me to "stop pushing," so she could call the doctor while my daughters head was coming out of me! haha Oh the memories we hold with us. So happy you an little James are healthy. Many blessings to the four of you.

But I totally missed the epidural boat all together, so never got that bill, the up side! The down side, I feel ya on the pain, I kept saying, I can't do this any more, I can't do this any more!

I would have been mad too if I had to pay for something that didn't help. Your doctor sounds awesome, what a cute lil quote.
