This is one of the best birth stories I’ve read – you are too funny. And quite a bad ass.

Hi there, I’m kindof a lurker, though I just found your site through Shannon at “Rocks”, I just had to see who won Best parenting blog, and so far I am not disapointed!! I had some serious giggling fits reading this birth story! Love it, thanks! I’ll try to continue commenting, as I’m sure I will be back daily! Consider yourself bookmarked!!

Awww… Midwives are truly rad… And I’m not just saying that because I am going to be one. I had the same midwife deliver both boys and she was SUPER. Drug-free labor, labor tubs, supportive partners/husbands/whatever rock! One more thing – my son was born the day after your daughter – same year and everything. Pretty neat…

Jen! Life has been interrupting my blog reading so haven’t commented in awhile, love the new place!

Three as you know from Sophie, is much more contrary than two who gets a very bad name I think. My youngest also just turned three in Oct so know that I am here on the other side of the country suffering through Three with you. Mostly there has been a lot crying OR a lot of sentances that begin with “MOM I TOLD YOU”

I adore you you know, hope all is well with working now and everything.

The birthday photo is perfect! I especially like the look of joy on Sophie’s face as she watches little sis blow her candles out.

Three already. Tempus fugit.

What a wise and wonderful labor nurse — it may be painful, but it is a good productive pain, not pain like something is going wrong.

And I like to read about someone wisecracking her way through labor. When I was pushing they asked me to move from a gurney to the bed (long story) and I said, “You have GOT to be kidding!”

Hope you all have recovered from the birthday bash! Lucky that we are too tired from pushing the little rugrats out to contemplate the real work–all the parties that must be planned, cakes frosted to order, little friends who must be tolerated and perfect gifts given!

Happy Belated Birthday to your baby! I also enjoyed rereading her birth story — it’s one of my favorites.
