That I have to say, was the best labor story I have read. Good job to you! I just wish I could have had mine naturally too.

Wow! It was like reading from a book or a magazine.. So much detail, I agree it was like being there with you... Your story had me smiling, twitching thinking of the pain and even crying from time to time... Amazing! You should send your story in to a parenting magazine.

Congraduations on Max! You are a very strong woman to have endurded so much!

Wow! You're a terrific writer!
Congratulations!!
