Thanks for posting it. I laughed, (mooo) I cried, how scary that he wasn't breathing!!! Thank God that he started up without waiting too long!<BR/><BR/>My dream is a home birth, but with insurance it is cheaper in a hospital. If I have another baby though, I might just do it at home... especially since I had a successful VBAC with Gwendolyn.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673868151727921211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012777055090003190.post-5092389112873221922008-05-02T14:28:00.000-05:002008-05-02T14:28:00.000-05:00Heidi - we wouldn't hesitate to have you there for...Heidi - we wouldn't hesitate to have you there for our next birth!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Tammy!<BR/><BR/>Nice to have you read our story and share, Amy!Crystal Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908726613347970930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012777055090003190.post-19780578158696723762008-05-02T11:48:00.000-05:002008-05-02T11:48:00.000-05:00Crystal,I'm Heidi's cousin, and she sent me the li...Crystal,<BR/><BR/>I'm Heidi's cousin, and she sent me the link to your birth story... and I really enjoyed reading it! Sounds like you did a great job with staying relaxed, asking God for help, and being patient through a very long labor. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you had a homebirth and a helpful, supportive team with you, as it could have been so very different in a hospital setting and without the good support.<BR/><BR/>Those Bradley signposts are so helpful, aren't they? I was a Bradley teacher for a few years before taking a break to focus on our family. During our whole last labor, I went entirely on the emotional signposts... nobody even checked me once to see how far dilated I was. I had spent so much of the labor at home that our Naomi was born only 17 minutes after arriving at the hospital! :)<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your little blessing! I enjoyed your birth story very much. :)<BR/><BR/>Amy :)Amy :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07131254140341678180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012777055090003190.post-3048662839384643402008-05-02T10:20:00.000-05:002008-05-02T10:20:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your story, Crystal!

Thanks for posting it!...What fun this was to read! Thanks for posting it!<BR/><BR/>I think your mother would have gone through that labor for you. She was going through it all with you in spirit! She would tear up every time she even thought about what you were doing. She prayed and sang pettitions to God frequently.<BR/><BR/>And you are right about your wonderful husband....he was so attentive and a great help. It was fun to watch how pleased he was with that little baby being born!<BR/><BR/>I LOVED being there. Thank you so much for allowing me to help out. I was so worried on my way to your home that night that I wouldn't be helpful and you'd be sorry for asking me to come, but I think I did manage to be useful! Thanks!!! I also feel so connected to little Steven after helping with his birth and breathing troubles....and to you after catching the placenta! :)<BR/><BR/>I'm ready for the next one, too!Wife, Mom, Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718527963275984121noreply@blogger.com
