But I remember that feeling when you first hold that tiny little body in your arms, thinking, yep those are the elbows that kept my bladder going! It's a wonderful feeling.

I noticed myself reading this ever so slowly and carefully as if I was picturing / feeling the whole experience myself. Childbirth definitely freaks me out, but my mom (who gave birth naturally, twice) always refers to it as "magical" so I want to give birth naturally as well. Reading this made me nervous to give birth naturally (because i know from our track days you are very mentally and physically strong), but it also gave me the encouragement that I can still try and do it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your birth story, April. You 3 make a beautiful family!Kelley @ Kelley Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229749118484863101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166607611201683008.post-56341305589855769312012-07-17T18:46:34.139-07:002012-07-17T18:46:34.139-07:00I feel like I made the same comment on your last t...I feel like I made the same comment on your last two posts, but I maintain my position. Pregnancy: still freaky. I had a weird pregnancy dream the other night (prior to reading this) which has only served to further convince me of this fact. I mean, I guess it doesn't help that all (two) of the pregnancy dreams I've ever had involved me giving birth to kittens or babies that could shape-shift into kittens. I bet that little tidbit does not even surprise you.<br /><br />ANYWAAAAY enough embarrassing confessions. I'm so happy y'all made it through P-Day happy and healthy in the end!

With a new baby in our family I have been all KNOCK ME UP MISTER to the boy, but now I ain't so sure. You should maybe think about speaking to teenage girls about contraception. Zoey is a doll and so are you. Congratulations again.

Like some other commenters I've been a bit nervous about considering a natural birth (should I get a sneaky baby of my own), but I like your take on it.<br /><br />Also - awwww.

Turns out I'm allergic or potentially allergic to pretty much all of them. (a lovely thing to find out at 32 weeks pregnant!) I haven't really been too concerned with it, because I mean people have been having babies without medical intervention for aeons, but reading your story just made it so much more real. It was super inspiring, and a great encouragement. Thanks again!Kelli Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312335836590750657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166607611201683008.post-72026927704934659562012-07-12T11:31:35.634-07:002012-07-12T11:31:35.634-07:00I think I'm the opposite of you - I expect chi...I think I'm the opposite of you - I expect childbirth to be singularly the most horrific experience of my life. I half expect my vagina to literally explode. Haha, I'm such a pessimistic weirdo.<br /><br />Another interesting thing: whenever I read about birth stories, my uterus starts to ache, despite never having gotten pregnant or giving birth.<br /><br />BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME AND MY FEAR OF PREGNANCY AND BIRTH. I'm so excited for you, April, and she could not be more beautiful :) So excited to hear more about your journey through motherhood!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624818442174838361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166607611201683008.post-42170714475918051542012-07-12T11:30:00.709-07:002012-07-12T11:30:00.709-07:00Oh.

I actually teared up, I know that's weird because I do not know you, but this was just so exciting to read. I feel like I'm going to deal with labor the exact same way. I feel like I think I'll be able to be tough and in control..but the way you described it as happening 'to you' seems more like what my reality will be. But HOLY SMOKES. A BABY. Congratulations, that's pretty amazing. I felt like it was just yesterday I was chuckling over your fantasy fur baby booties. Alright, let me get ahold of myself. Well anyway- she's pretty awesome.
