In fact, I'm going to start blogging about that day :). You are an amazing mom and we're praying every day that God is with you in your delivery room.

We get to look at our new baby and say "This is my body broken for you so that you, a stranger to me before this and now a member of my family, may have life." It's beautiful.<br /><br />I've had unmedicated births twice. I always want the drugs, but I still recognize the beauty in the pain.Rebecca Frechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744212862956880795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877270688871655141.post-53092505490971721632010-04-11T21:10:28.267-07:002010-04-11T21:10:28.267-07:00If somehow through all of this I become unwittingl...If somehow through all of this I become unwittingly convinced to have a natural childbirth, I will faint, and maybe stop being your friend. Seriously though, the parallels with Christ that you make in this post and the other post are very convincing. It is hard to not want to feel that close to Him. That being said, I loved my medicated labor and delivery with E, and I think I'd love another one. :) As crazy as I sometimes think you are to want this, I pray every day that God grants you this. I pray and pray. I know you will make it through another c-section if that's His will, and I will be here for you if it comes to that, but I soooo want you to have the birthing experience of your dreams. And then 3 or 4 more of them. Love you!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653736196409874759noreply@blogger.com
