Girl.. you are amazing. I love...love.this.birth!!! Girl.. you are amazing. I love, love, love hearing a birth story from the mom herself! It is so much more fascinating because you are the one experiencing the miracle!<br /><br />for the record, Jada did catch Grey. Dr. E walked in right as his body came out, but it was Jada that put him on your chest. Dr. E was in there but didn't have gloves on in time.. but he did step in right after Grey was on your chest. Dr. E was the one who massaged the cord.. <br /><br />And I will say, for Bob to have been so "unsure" before our meeting, he was such a great coach! He knew exactly what you needed to hear and when you needed to hear it. You guys make a great team! <br /><br />I especially love hearing you tell it because you get to tell the world that they CAN in fact, trust God, their bodies and get through one contraction at a time. As I have said, and will be my mantra for life: Natural Childbirth is 85% mental preparation. You fear what you don't know. And fear is not from the Lord. A well informed momma on the subject of her body, and labor, will be amazed at what she CAN in fact handle and push through (pun intended). <br /><br />Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to witness this miracle for your family. Grey is such a precious little man! May the Lord draw him to Himself at an early age!Rachel Garcia, CD(DONA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05481183994435059363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988738184143691291.post-20697064417555109812009-08-17T08:55:47.756-05:002009-08-17T08:55:47.756-05:00Greta-yea!!

I would have encouraged you/prayed for you if I knew you were wanting a natural birth! :) Didn't God design our bodies to do amazing things!? I think there's just something incredible about fully trusting God for the strength to birth naturally and being fully there/aware of it all. And encouraging doulas and husbands are a must too-along with The Bradely Method! <br /><br />I hope you are feeling well and enjoying your sweet newborn. (Love the name!) The part about rocking just Sam for the last time got me (umm tearing up again!) We obviously want more but the thought of Blaise not being our little baby any more is bittersweet like you said! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your birth story!Amanda Bacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793496265732517782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988738184143691291.post-1064967930383216482009-08-17T08:46:49.955-05:002009-08-17T08:46:49.955-05:00You rock G!You rock G!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750106195492984581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988738184143691291.post-6232711693159706012009-08-17T07:32:59.430-05:002009-08-17T07:32:59.430-05:00Awww...you made me cry!!
