I read your blog and felt like I went thru it with you every step of the way:)<br />I too had my moment of "feeling like a failure" when after 36 hours of contractions, I gave up got the epidural... umm, yes, for baby #2, I'll be getting it a whole lot earlier! lol. Someday we'll swap stories. My lil girl was also in danger at some point and once they told me that, it gave me the power to get her out no matter what it took!<br />And just like you said...a minute after looking into their lil tired faces, you can picture yourself doing it all over again.<br />Thank you for sending me to bed with such a sweet feeling in my heart.<br />Besitos a ti y a Lucas.Diana Mendoza Estrellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390472894013834210.post-40553144584610544092009-08-11T21:56:27.971-04:002009-08-11T21:56:27.971-04:00Congratulations!

I'm so glad that you were able to push that baby out without having to go through a c-section...and how neat that he was born on his daddy's birthday. <br /><br />P.S. Birth is much easier - and faster - the second time (at least in my experience).<br /><br />stephanie@metropolitanmama.netStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993230105586205393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390472894013834210.post-33805430887386378982009-08-07T16:32:46.640-04:002009-08-07T16:32:46.640-04:00What an amazing birth story!

I almost started crying when you said you almost gave up but then felt his head and you powered through it and brought your beautiful son into the world. It gave me goose bumps!<br /><br />I am so proud of you for holding out and not letting the doctor scare you into a c-section. Horray also for those wonderful nurses and your family who supported you!! Baby Lucas is so lucky to have you for his mama. Big, BIG Hugs to you!Leannenoreply@blogger.com
